Terry Rozier declines to address investigation, says he won’t have issue focusing on basketball

MIAMI — Terry Rozier declined to answer questions Friday about the investigations by federal prosecutors into unusual betting patterns surrounding his play in a game when he was with the Charlotte Hornets in 2023. “So, I won’t.” The Wall Street Journal on Thursday first reported the investigation surrounding the Hornets-New Orleans game involving Rozier on March 23, 2023. It confirmed Thursday that there is an investigation by the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York, and the league said it is “cooperating with that investigation.” Rozier — averaging 12.1 points per game this season — will continue to play for the Heat, per usual. We’ve got a great locker room, great staff, so it’s easy for me.” In that March 23, 2023, game, Rozier finished with five points, four rebounds and two assists in that opening period — a productive quarter, but well below his usual total output for a full game. Porter’s ban came after a similar investigation into his performance and “prop bets” — wagers where bettors can choose whether a player will reach a certain statistical standard or not during a game.
