Federal prosecutors are investigating unusual betting patterns surrounding a March 2023 game involving Terry Rozier, then with the Charlotte Hornets, as part of the same probe that led to Jontay Porter\u2019s lifetime NBA ban. The Wall Street Journal first reported the case.<\/p>\n
The NBA acknowledged it investigated the matter in 2023 and found no league violations, but the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Eastern District of New York is now examining whether Rozier\u2019s abrupt exit from that game\u2014after playing just 9 minutes and 36 seconds\u2014was linked to betting activity. Some sportsbooks reportedly removed Rozier\u2019s prop bets hours before tipoff, leading to speculation among gamblers.<\/p>\n
Rozier\u2019s attorney expressed confidence that the government\u2019s investigation will confirm his innocence. The Miami Heat, his current team, referred to the NBA\u2019s statement without further comment.<\/p>\n
