Rozier, 31, previously had been under investigation for unusual betting activity during his time with the Hornets, specifically a March 2023 contest.

“In March 2023, the NBA was alerted to unusual betting activity related to Terry Rozier’s performance in a game between Charlotte and New Orleans,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said earlier this year.

Rozier did not comment at the time about the matter.
