Dec. 9 (UPI) — Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier pleaded not guilty Monday to federal charges in an alleged illegal gambling and sports rigging scheme. He was one of 34 people arrested in October, including former NBA player Damon Jones and Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups.
Rozier, 31, appeared Monday in a Brooklyn federal courtroom on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud over a period of 15 months, beginning in December 2022. He was released on $3 million bond after being placed on unpaid administrative leave by the NBA.
This season, the 10-year veteran would have made $26.6 million as part of his four-year $96.3 million contract.
