Rozier Betting Bribe Case

Federal prosecutors say former NBA player Terry Rozier accepted a $100,000 bribe tied to leaving a March 2023 Charlotte Hornets game early, adding sports-bribery and honest-services charges in a Brooklyn betting case.

1. Frame 1Brooklyn federal prosecutors added sports-bribery charges in court against former NBA guard Terry Rozier over a March 2023 Hornets game.
2. Frame 2The indictment says Rozier tipped bettors that he planned to leave the game early because of an injury.
3. Frame 3Prosecutors say the tip let co-defendants place wagers on Rozier's performance before the game ended.
4. Frame 4They allege a $100,000 bribe agreement; after Rozier grabbed four rebounds, they say the payout fell to $70,000.
5. Frame 5The Miami Heat waived Rozier last month, while Marves Fairley and De'Niro Laster remain named in the alleged arrangement.
6. Frame 6Next legal test: the Brooklyn case must turn the superseding indictment into evidence as Rozier challenges the charges.
