At the moment, there only is limbo when it comes to Terry Rozier and where he stands — or doesn’t stand — on the Miami Heat payroll in the wake of his NBA leave.

Guard Tyler Herro starts the season on the injured list recovering from ankle surgery, and the most important addition was veteran guard Norm Powell.

The NBA placed Rozier on immediate leave after he was charged with involvement in an illegal insider sports betting scheme. He is accused of informing a betting ring that he would be leaving a March 2023 game early, when he played for the Charlotte Hornets, which allowed them to place bets that he would not surpass various statistical thresholds.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looked every bit the part of a former MVP as he racked up a team-high 62 fantasy points. Cason Wallace (43), Chet Holmgren (39) and Isaiah Hartenstein (30) also did some damage in the absence of Jalen Williams, who had 2787 total fantasy points a season ago.

Tyler Herro’s future with the Heat hangs in the balance as doubts grow over a contract extension before the looming deadline.

The federal investigation led to the arrests Thursday of Terry Rozier and dozens of others, including retired NBA journeyman Damon Jones (played one season with the Heat in 2004-05) and former NBA player and current Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups.
