Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier will have his $26.6 million salary withheld while on leave following his Oct. 23 arrest on federal gambling-related charges, sources told AP; the move brings no immediate cap relief, and he could be paid in full if cleared. Portland is similarly holding coach Chauncey Billups’ salary after his arrest. Rozier’s lawyer said a 2021 IRS lien showing $8,218,211.70 was satisfied and reflected only about $9,000 owed, though public records don’t show removal. The NBA is reviewing injury-report practices as senators seek details on the case.
