Former NBA player Terry Rozier arrives at court for hearing in illegal gambling case

Former NBA player Terry Rozier arrived at Brooklyn Federal Court on Monday (April 27) for a court hearing after being indicted for his alleged role ​in an illegal gambling ring.

Rozier, 32, pleaded not ‌guilty in December to conspiracy charges involving wire fraud and money laundering.

Rozier is accused of alerting gamblers ​that he would ​leave a ⁠game early while playing for the Charlotte Hornets in March 2023. The gamblers ​then bet large sums on the "under" figures ​for Rozier's ⁠stats in that contest.

Rozier averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 64 games (23 starts) for the ⁠Heat ​last season. His career averages ​through 10 NBA seasons for the Boston Celtics, Charlotte and Miami are ​13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Rozier was waived by the Miami Heat on April 10.
