Federal prosecutors are looking into claims that veteran NBA guard Terry Rozier manipulated his performances as part of an illegal gambling scheme.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, the inquiry just one part of a larger investigation into alleged match fixing in professional sports. The same probe has already resulted in a guilty plea and lifetime NBA ban for former Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter.
The 30-year-old Rozier has not been charged and it remains unclear if investigators have concluded that he helped gamblers in any way
The alleged incident is said to have taken place on March 23, 2023, when Rozier was a member of the Charlotte Hornets. The former Louisville star currently plays for the Miami Heat, who declined comment when contacted by DailyMail.com and instead referred to a statement from the NBA.
'In March 2023, the NBA was alerted to unusual betting activity related to Terry Rozier's performance in a game between Charlotte and New Orleans,' NBA spokesman Mike Bass said in the league statement. 'The league conducted an investigation and did not find a violation of NBA rules. We are now aware of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York related to this matter and have been cooperating with that investigation.'
Rozier's agent and spokespeople for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York did not immediately respond to requests for comment. .

As for the allegations against Rozier on March 23, 2023, not much is known publicly.
A series of strange bets were placed on various outcomes related to Rozier for the Hornets matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans that night. Those wagers raised the suspicions U.S. Integrity, which works with various sports and gambling interests to protect against illegal activity.

The NBA (sponsored by Fan Duel) is appalled
So is ESPN. By the way, don’t forget first time users of ESPN BET get $150 free bonus bets after betting $5

Didn’t we establish 25 years ago the NBA was rigged? What’s the problem here? Entertainer in an entertainment league doing his thing to make some extra cash. Don’t blame either of them.

It's not the outcome that's necessarily affected, it's prop bets. Those are a lot more easily manipulated by one player.
Player fakes an injury so under prop bet for that game is easy money. Sports books saw something suspicious and stopped taking Rozier prop bets that night so the red flag was triggered.

Yep.
You have to wonder if the player prop bets are eventually going to be banned. Some states, including Louisiana, have already banned player prop bets on college sports.

Mark Cuban used to rail against those idiots hardcore for that very reason. Now he sold his team and is wanting to open a casino in Dallas. Tells you all you need to know.

$133mm in career earnings wasn’t enough I guess

Would be big because there are a lot of sites and apps like Underdog and Prizepicks based almost exclusively on player props.

Individual players rigging prop bets is different than a conspiracy of the league itself to rig games

That game, Terry played only 10 min, leaving early due to a sore right foot. He finished with 5 pts, 4 boards and 2 assists. FWIW, it doesn’t appear he played another game after that.

I don't think the NBA is trying to rig a Pelicans-Hornets regular season game

So the fact that random, irrelevant suspicious activity was immediately flagged and the NBA notified is evidence of what, slippery slope, exactly? Extreme regulatory compliance?
