NBA Escrows Terry Rozier’s Salary During Prosecution

Days after an indictment in a two-pronged gambling scandal, the NBA put Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier on leave and moved to hold his pay. The Miami Herald reports his salary will be kept in an interest-bearing escrow account pending his criminal case. The players union disputes the move and says it will challenge it through proper channels. The NBA had previously probed irregular betting on Rozier “under” props in a March 2023 game but found insufficient evidence. Whether he’s paid during what could be an extended absence will be decided through the CBA’s grievance process.
