Miami Heat Guard Terry Rozier Was Arrested In NBA Gambling Scandal That Is Rocking The Sports World

Terry Rozier, a Miami Heat guard, was arrested early Thursday morning in Orlando as part of a significant federal investigation into illegal sports gambling. This operation, spearheaded by the FBI alongside the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, examines a gambling syndicate associated with casinos and the potential manipulation of prop bets involving NBA players. The inquiry centers on a game from March 23, 2023, when Rozier, then with the Charlotte Hornets, played under ten minutes before exiting due to a foot injury and did not return for the remainder of the season. On that night, sportsbooks reported unusually high betting on his performance's “under,” which raised concerns and initiated an NBA internal investigation that ultimately found no immediate violations. At 31, Rozier had largely evaded scrutiny until his recent arrest, highlighting the intensified examination of betting irregularities in American sports. The NBA has yet to comment publicly on his case.
