The Charlotte Hornets have scrapped plans to run a sports betting-themed night originally planned for March 17, 2026, when the Miami Heat visit. The South Florida Sun Sentinel said the prospect of Miami point guard Terry Rozier appearing was a possible reason for the cancellation.
The former Hornets player is currently under investigation by federal authorities over suspicious betting patterns relating to a game he played in the 2022-2023 season.
$13,579 was won at a Mississippi retail sportsbook for unders on Rozier prop bets
While he hasn’t been accused of wrongdoing or charged with any crime, $13,579 was won at a Mississippi retail sportsbook for unders on Rozier prop bets after he left with a foot injury ten minutes into the game in question. Investigators have been exploring potential links to the Jontay Porter betting scandal.
Rozier is one of a few NBA players to come under the spotlight recently for gambling-related matters, including Malik Beasley and Jontay Porter, who received a lifetime ban after admitting to exiting games early so bettors would win their prop bets.
