Heat guard Terry Rozier was arrested on the morning of Thursday, October 23, as part of an “FBI sports betting gambling probe,” per ESPN’s Shams Charania. 

Rozier was the subject of a federal gambling investigation, reported on by the Wall Street Journal in early 2025. The veteran guard was not arrested at the time, but merely investigated. The incident in question occurred when he was with the Charlotte Hornets, from a March 23, 2023, game against the New Orleans Pelicans. 

The investigation itself was not only about Rozier and connected to a “sprawling ring of gamblers” who are accused of rigging games, “across the sports landscape.”

While nothing came of the investigation at the time, mere months later, Rozier was arrested, and there will be a press conference at 10 a.m. ET that investigative journalist Pablo Torre says will result in “numerous arrests in illegal sports betting and poker game schemes.”

Here is more on Rozier getting arrested from an FBI gambling investigation. 

Terry Rozier arrest details

Rozier was arrested on the morning of Thursday, October 23, as part of the FBI’s probe into a gambling investigation.

The news came the day after the Miami Heat’s season-opening loss to the Orlando Magic.

Despite playing in the preseason, Rozier did not play in the season opener and was held out due to a “coach’s decision.” This could just mean that head coach Eric Spoelstra didn’t factor the veteran guard into the game plan on Wednesday night, but it is at least worth noting now that Rozier has been arrested. 

The press conference will be held at 10 a.m. ET. It will be held by FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI New York Assistant Director in Charge Christopher G. Raia, Homeland Security Investigations New York Special Agent in Charge Ricky J. Patel, and New York City Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch to “announce details stemming from two indictments involving illegal gambling schemes.
