Rozier was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He is accused of providing inside information to co-conspirators about his intentions to leave a game early due to injury, which enabled them to place large bets on him not reaching statistical thresholds.
The sweeping, multipart federal gambling investigation led to the arrests of Rozier, Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and more than 30 other individuals. The NBA placed Rozier and Billups on immediate leave soon after the arrests, with the league saying that it was reviewing the indictments.
An indictment says gambling money flowed after NBA player Terry Rozier told a pal that he would be exiting early from a game with the Charlotte Hornets in 2023.
