Terry Rozier was arrested following an investigation into an NBA gambling scandal. Here's a look at his contract with the Miami Heat.
Guard Tyler Herro starts the season on the injured list recovering from ankle surgery, and the most important addition was veteran guard Norm Powell.
Rozier was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He is accused of providing inside information to co-conspirators about his intentions to leave a game early due to injury, which enabled them to place large bets on him not reaching statistical thresholds.
The FBI announced Terry Rozier was one of six people arrested in an NBA gambling ring. A separate case involved Portland coach Chauncey Billups.
The Heat also converted guard Jahmir Young’s Exhibit 10 contract to a two-way deal on Saturday to fill the team’s third and final two-way contract slot.
The Heat got their roster in order ahead of the NBA’s preseason cutdown deadline by releasing a familiar face and adding a newcomer to the opening night mix.
Tyler Herro’s future with the Heat hangs in the balance as doubts grow over a contract extension before the looming deadline.
