Federal prosecutors charge former NBA player Terry Rozier with additional offenses tied to a sports gambling sting. Multiple outlets report that a superseding indictment filed in Brooklyn federal court adds felony counts alleging Rozier accepted a bribe to leave an NBA game early during a March 2023 incident. The alleged payoff is reported as $100,000 (with at least one outlet citing a $70,000 figure), and prosecutors contend the conduct was connected to bettors seeking to win wagers, including in-game “prop” bets.
The new charges described across sources include bribery in sporting contests and an “honest services wire fraud” conspiracy. Sources also note Rozier has denied involvement in the scheme and has sought to fight the allegations.
At least one outlet explains that the case involves a superseding indictment, which prosecutors use to modify or add charges in an existing federal proceeding. The reports frame the filing as part of a broader federal investigation that has drawn attention from across the NBA.
