Feds investigating Terry Rozier in connection with illegal sports betting scheme

Several former Celtics were involved in an NBA health insurance scheme with Glen Davis being the biggest name. "Big Baby" is currently serving a 40 month prison sentence. Another former Celtic could be in hot water as it's being reported that Terry Rozier is being investigated by federal prosecutors over irregular betting patterns from the 2023 season when he was a member of the Charlotte Hornets.

It should be noted that the NBA didn't find anything to punish Rozier with, so he does deserve to be presumed innocent. Then again the NBA had billions of reasons to just punish a "rogue lone wolf" in Jontay Porter similar to how they found Tim Donaghy to have worked alone. Considering the amount of money Rozier has made in the NBA it would have been idiotic for him to get involved in this, but money wise it was dumb for Porter to have been involved and he was found guilty. Gambling can very easily become an addiction, and that would at least somewhat explain how this could happen.

The NBA and sports in general the past few years have embraced gambling and the windfall of money they have received for doing so. It hasn't come without conseqences as some fans have become even more belligerent with players since their missed shots and rebounds are now costing the fans money from online bets.

The NBA can't have any rumors swirling that players are betting on games and might not be giving their all, so they will either have to try and clear Rozier or come down very harshly on him if it's proven that Scary Terry was involved in this betting scheme.
