WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — The 23-page indictment outlines the criminal case against six current and former NBA players, including Miami Heat player Terry Rozier.

The indictment accuses the Miami Heat basketball player, known as “Scary Terry” and “Chum,” of being part of a gambling ring where he and others allegedly used private information about NBA games and players to illegally win bets.

FBI investigators said the 31-year-old Heat guard shared inside information about game plans, player injuries, and how the athletes performed.

Agents said Rozier even faked injuries to take himself off the court and fraudulently manipulate bets on those games.

“It’s a form of betting where you’re betting on a player statistic versus the overall outcome of the game,” said David Tarras, a federal criminal defense attorney who is not connected to the case. “The fact that the allegations involve a player who took himself out of a game, allegedly, in order to achieve those prop bets and share that information with others is pretty unheard of.”

According to the indictment, while Rozier was playing for the Charlotte Hornets in 2023, he faked a foot injury and left the game within the first nine minutes allowing gamblers to place bets that wrongfully earned them tens of thousands of dollars.

A total of 31 people have been arrested in connection with the sports gambling scheme, which also involved rigged poker games with direct ties to the Mafia.

The FBI has been investigating the defendants’ alleged role in illegal sports betting since 2022 and say more charges could be coming.

Tarras said the scandal surrounding Rozier is going to shake up the NBA and sports betting industry.

“If any allegations are true for this player, a player like that, a starter, to claim to be injured when they’re not, I think the trust in the, not only the trust in betting, but just the trust in the NBA, and from a legal standpoint, the amount of harm that can cause,” he said. “There’s not a lot of people putting money on the stats of the last man off the bench, but there is a lot of people putting a lot of money on the starters to perform consistently with how they perform. I think it has really widespread implications.”

The NBA has reportedly placed Rozier on leave and is cooperating with authorities.

Rozier is facing charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
