The Charlotte Hornets\u2019 event coordinator may be polishing their r\u00e9sum\u00e9 after cracking a wild joke at the expense of former Hornet Terry Rozier.<\/p>\n
READ<\/strong>: ‘Scary’ Terry Rozier’s NBA Betting Scandal Details Raises More Questions Than Answers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
Rozier, now with the Miami Heat, was tied earlier this year to a federal probe into possible sports gambling activity. Investigators reviewed footage of him hoisting bad shots, allegedly linked to bets placed on his unders.<\/p>\n

In an odd twist, Charlotte tried to play off the scandal by scheduling a Sports Betting Night for March 17, when Rozier\u2019s Heat visit the Hornets. That date also happens to be Rozier\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n
Heat reporter Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel said Wednesday that while the Hornets called the booking “coincidental,” they later scrapped the event.<\/p>\n
The federal probe into Rozier goes back to a March 23, 2023, game against the New Orleans Pelicans, when he was still with Charlotte.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Authorities, including the FBI, flagged suspicious wagers on Rozier\u2019s player props, especially his unders in points, rebounds and assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The case is part of the same investigation that led to former Toronto Raptor Jontay Porter\u2019s lifetime ban from the NBA for gambling violations.<\/p>\n

Records show 30 bets were placed in just 46 minutes on Rozier\u2019s unders that night, raising concerns about insider information or possible manipulation.<\/p>\n
Footage from the game shows Rozier tossing up inefficient shots and looking disengaged, fueling speculation that he may have been trying to hit the betting line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the NBA did its own review and cleared him of rule violations, the federal case remains open, with no charges so far.<\/p>\n
