Terry Rozier subject of 30 bets placed in 46 minutes for March 2023 game, according to federal investigation: Report

Yahoo6 days ago
While Terry Rozier was reportedly cleared by the NBA of any wrongdoing in its investigation into gambling allegations, the veteran guard remains under federal investigation.
As was the case when the investigation into Rozier was first reported, a March 23, 2023 NBA game continues to draw scrutiny based on unusual activity. Rozier was the subject of 30 wagers, all placed within a 46-minute spa, ESPN's David Purdum reported upon obtaining documents from the investigation.
Prior to a game between the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans on the aforementioned date, a sportsbook received $13,759 in wagers from one bettor, according to the investigation's documents. The 30 bets were all on the unders for Rozier's points, rebounds and assists.
The activity was unusual enough to be noticed by U.S. Integrity, which monitors betting markets for abnormalities, resulting in six sports books and the NBA being notified. Within an hour of the alert from U.S. Integrity, most prominent sports books stopped taking bets on Rozier props.
Rozier left the game after playing 10 minutes, citing a foot injury. He finished with five points, four rebounds and two assists, which were all under the betting line for his statistics. Consequently, all 30 of those bets won.
The NBA investigated the betting activity and determined that no league rules were violated, thus leading to reports that Rozier had been cleared by the league. Rozier's attorney told ESPN that Rozier is no longer part of the federal investigation, which remains open.
The same investigation resulted in Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter getting charged with a felony and receiving a lifetime ban from the NBA in April 2024. Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley is also being investigated by federal authorities and the NBA for prop bets placed beginning in January 2024, when he played for the Milwaukee Bucks. He has not been charged.
Reporting by Pablo Torre and Yahoo Sports' Tom Haberstroh found that one figure with the alias of "Moose" connected Rozier, Porter and Beasley in gambling activity, predicting Beasley being investigated when the Rozier news was reported five months earlier.
Rozier did not play the remaining eight games for the Hornets that season after that March 2023 contest. He was traded to the Miami Heat, for whom he's still under contract for $26.6 million through the 2025-26 season. In his two seasons with the Heat, Rozier has averaged 12.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists, shooting 32% on 3-pointers.
However, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York would not confirm or deny Rozier's status in the investigation, according to ESPN.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields carted off practice field with apparent leg injury

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields was carted from the practice field Thursday morning with an apparent lower leg injury. Fields threw an incomplete pass to Jeremy Ruckert on his fifth play of team drills when he went down. The quarterback, in his first season with the Jets, sat on the grass for a few moments before getting up and limping to the sideline while helped by a trainer. It wasn't clear how the injury occurred in the Jets' second practice of training camp. The team had no immediate word on Fields' condition or the nature of the injury. Fields spent a few minutes in the injury tent on the sideline as trainers examined him before a cart came out to transport him into the facility. Fields sat in the passenger seat next to the driver in the cart and then got up under his own power before stepping inside to be further evaluated. First-year coach Aaron Glenn stopped the team period after Fields was hurt and the Jets ran special teams drills. Fields signed a two-year, $40 million contract as a free agent in March after playing last season in Pittsburgh and is expected to be New York's starter this season. Veteran Tyrod Taylor, in his second season with the Jets, is the backup and replaced Fields in team drills. New York also has Adrian Martinez, the 2024 United Football League MVP, and rookie Brady Cook on its roster, but neither has thrown a pass in an NFL game. If Fields is sidelined for a significant amount of time, the Jets could be in the market for an experienced quarterback. ___ AP NFL:

Jets QB Justin Fields carted off practice field with apparent leg injury, reports say

The New York Jets officially have their first injury scare of the summer, and it's a big one. Starting QB Justin Fields was carted to the locker room after limping off the field Thursday morning with an apparent lower leg injury during practice, according to multiple reports. What happened to Justin Fields? Fields reportedly pulled up during a play in team drills after an incompletion to tight end Jeremy Ruckert. After the throw, he sat on the ground momentarily before he limped off the field. Fields was being attended to by a trainer in the injury tent before he sat in the passenger seat of a cart and eventually walked into the facility. While the severity is still unknown, this could have massive implications if Fields, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract in free agency this offseason, was to miss an extended period of time during training camp, preseason or worst-case scenario if it was something that sidelined him until the regular season or further into the future. Once Fields headed to the locker room, backup QB Tyrod Taylor took over first team snaps for the Jets.
