What happened: Federal prosecutors allege Terry Rozier agreed to accept a roughly $100,000 bribe tied to an illegal betting scheme, according to ESPN.
Why it matters: The new allegation escalates one of the NBA's most serious gambling-related cases and puts Rozier's legal status and league future under sharper scrutiny. It also extends the league's integrity crisis around insider information and player availability.
By the numbers: Alleged bribe: about $100,000. Game at issue: March 2023.
What to watch: Watch for the next court filing or arraignment step tied to the updated charges. The NBA's disciplinary posture will also matter if the case advances.
