TL;DR

Federal prosecutors charged Terry Rozier with taking about $100,000 from gamblers to leave a March 23, 2023 Hornets game early, part of a broader betting scheme. The indictment alleges Rozier told an associate he would exit early to help bettors, who relayed the plan to others; one conspirator has pleaded guilty and identified Rozier, though his attorney denies the allegations.
