Jontay Porter may not have been the only NBA player involved in manipulating performance for sports bettors.
Federal investigators are looking into unusual betting activity relating to current Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier during his time with the Hornets, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The 30-year-old Rozier left a March 23, 2023 game after less than 10 minutes played against the New Orleans Pelicans, and received a strong amount of betting interest on his Unders for the game.
Rozier has not been accused of a crime or wrongdoing, the report said.
At the time, Rozier went down with a foot injury and missed the remainder of the season.
“In March 2023, the NBA was alerted to unusual betting activity related to Terry Rozier’s performance in a game between Charlotte and New Orleans,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said. “The league conducted an investigation and did not find a violation of NBA rules. We are now aware of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York related to this matter and have been cooperating with that investigation.”
Rozier is currently in the third year of his four-year, $96,258,694 contract he signed in 2022.
