Former NBA player Terry Rozier has been charged with sports bribery and honest services wire fraud conspiracy in connection with a federal investigation into sports betting schemes involving professional and college basketball players.

Federal prosecutors allege that Rozier accepted $100,000 in bribes as part of the sports betting operation. The charges against Rozier are part of a broader criminal investigation that authorities say has impacted multiple levels of basketball.

The case involves what federal officials describe as sweeping gambling schemes that have affected both professional and college basketball. A central figure in these schemes, described by prosecutors as a 'gambling guru,' pleaded guilty Thursday to several charges stemming from two separate criminal cases.

The investigation appears to focus on allegations that players were bribed to provide inside information or potentially influence game outcomes for sports betting purposes. The charges against Rozier specifically include honest services wire fraud conspiracy, which typically involves schemes to deprive organizations of honest services through bribery or kickbacks.

Federal authorities have characterized this as a massive sports betting investigation that has significantly impacted professional basketball. The case highlights ongoing concerns about the intersection of legalized sports betting and the integrity of professional and collegiate sports.
