A former Charlotte Hornets guard was among other high profile NBA stars arrested in an FBI sports betting operation, the Miami Herald reported.
Terry Rozier, who played for the Hornets between 2019 and 2024 before being traded to the Miami Heat, was arrested Thursday morning.
Rozier, 31, was under investigation as part of a probe connected to unusual betting activity involving a 2023 game when he was with the Hornets, The Observer previously reported. The NBA conducted an investigation and did not find Rozier violated NBA rules.
Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups was also among those arrested, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported.
The FBI probe stemmed from illegal sports betting and poker game schemes, according to a press release from Joseph Nocella Jr., the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
