The issue stemmed from Rozier’s alleged gambling conspiracy. What exactly was Rozier accused of?
The NBA launched an investigation into Terry Rozier's potential involvement in gambling activities shortly after his trade to the Heat. The probe centered around allegations that Rozier shared inside information with individuals placing bets on NBA games. The specific details of the alleged gambling conspiracy involving Rozier have not been fully disclosed. However, reports suggest the league was concerned about potential breaches of its strict gambling policies, which prohibit players from sharing confidential information or betting on games. Charlotte sent Miami the 2026 second-rounder to fully resolve any lingering issues and avoid further complications. The Hornets acquired Rozier from the Boston Celtics in January 2019. Rozier signed a three-year, $58 million contract extension with the Hornets in August 2021. He was traded to the Miami Heat in January 2026 for Kyle Lowry and a first-round pick.
