Terry Rozier is still under federal investigation<\/a> into a gambling probe that was announced earlier this year. There was some confusion when it came to the investigation, but NBA insider Chris Haynes<\/a> cleared the air Tuesday, saying that Rozier \u201chas not been cleared of any wrongdoing and remains under federal investigation on a potential gambling probe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the confusion came a few weeks ago when ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania was asked about Rozier on The Pat McAfee Show<\/a>. The wording made it sound like the investigation into Rozier was finished, but turns out, that was not the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cTerry Rozier, as of right now, has been cleared,\u201d Charania said. \u201cHe finished the season with Miami. There\u2019s really nothing active as of right now with him. NBA spokesman Mike Bass did give a statement to me yesterday that the league is cooperating with the federal prosecutors. This is a federal matter now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NBA was again thrust into the spotlight last month when it came to players being under investigation for gambling-related probes. Former Pistons guard Malik Beasley was the latest player to be involved. The league\u2019s notable illegal betting example remains Jontay Porter, who was banned from the NBA after he admitted to manipulating his game performances for gambling purposes.<\/p>\n

Rozier\u2019s investigation is part of a wider government probe connected to the betting scheme involving Porter. His investigation is looking into a game in question on March, 23, 2023, when Rozier was still with the Hornets. The gambling ring accused of conspiring with Porter also bet heavily against Rozier in that game. <\/p>\n

Rozier, 31, started his career with the Celtics, playing four seasons in Boston from 2015-19. He played for the Hornets from 2019-24 before getting traded to the Heat, which is where he\u2019s been ever since. Rozier averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 64 games (23 starts) for the Heat last season. Rozier is due $26.6 million this next season in the final year of his contract. He hasn\u2019t garnered much trade interest<\/a> as he struggled this past season.<\/p>\n
