00:00Welcome, and thank you for tuning in. Terry Rozier, a guard for the Miami Heat, along

00:06with Chauncey Billups, the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers, has been arrested as

00:10part of a federal investigation related to sports betting, according to sources who spoke

00:14to the Associated Press, on Thursday. Details regarding the specific charges against them

00:20have not been disclosed. Two individuals, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive

00:25nature of the investigation, confirmed Rozier's involvement and also mentioned Billups' arrest.

00:31The NBA has not provided any immediate comments on the situation. It is worth noting that Rozier

00:36has previously been under investigation by the league, which is also looking into the

00:40conduct of former Detroit player Malik Beasley, as reported by one of the sources. On Wednesday

00:48evening, Rozier was dressed in uniform while the Heat faced off against the Magic in Orlando,

00:53although he did not participate in the game. He was apprehended in Orlando early Thursday morning,

00:59and the team has yet to release a statement regarding the arrest. A message was sent to

01:04Rozier's attorney, Jim Trustee, on Thursday for further comment. ESPN previously reported that Terry

01:10Rozier was informed that an initial investigation concluded he had not committed any wrongdoing after

01:16he met with officials from the NBA and the FBI in 2023. FBI Director Cash Patel, along with other

01:23law enforcement representatives, was anticipated to share further details during a news conference

01:27scheduled for Thursday. This case is being handled by the same U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn that

01:32had previously prosecuted former NBA player John Taye Porter. The ex-center for the Toronto Raptors

01:40admitted guilt to charges related to withdrawing from games early, under the pretense of illness or injury,

01:46allowing those in the know to profit from betting on his underperformance.

01:50One game involving Rozier that has raised concerns took place on March 23, 2023, featuring the Charlotte

01:56Hornets against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rozier participated for the first 9 minutes and 36

02:01seconds of the game, but did not return, citing a foot injury, and he did not play for the remainder

02:07of that season, with 8 games left for Charlotte. The team was not in the running for the playoffs,

02:12which made it less surprising that Rozier was sidelined for the last few games of the season.

02:17During the game on March 23, Rozier recorded 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in the first

02:25quarter. While this was a decent performance for a single quarter, it fell significantly short of his

02:31typical output for an entire game. Posts from March 23, 2023, still available online, reveal that many

02:38bettors were outraged with sportsbooks that evening. It became clear that Rozier would not be returning to

02:44the game between Charlotte and New Orleans after the first quarter, prompting numerous individuals to

02:49take to social media. They expressed their belief that something shady had occurred concerning the

02:54prop bets related to his performance that night. What are your thoughts on this developing story?
