Rozier refuses to address the investigation, he says he will not affect performance

Miami – Terry Rozier declined answer questions on Friday about the Investigations of federal prosecutors in unusual betting patterns When we surround his game in a game when he was with the Charlotte Hornets in 2023.

Rozier, now with the Miami Heat, is linked to the same investigation that led the former Toronto Raptors Jontay Porter player to be forbidden for the life of the NBA, facing criminal prosecution and finally declare himself guilty of committing fraud to the cable.

Porter is waiting for the sentence. There have been no indications that Rozier is under criminal investigation, and has not been accused of a crime.

“On advice advice, I can’t answer any questions about that matter,” Rozier said on Friday. “Then, I will not.”

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday for the first time the research surrounding the Game of the Hornets-New Orleans that involved Rozier on March 23, 2023. Rozier left the game after 9 1/2 minutes and not only did not return. I didn’t play for Hornets that season again.

The NBA said that Rozier’s situation has previously examined and did not find that the league rules break. He confirmed on Thursday that there is an investigation by the United States Prosecutor’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, and the League said it is “cooperating with that investigation.”

Rozier, with an average of 12.1 points per game this season, will continue playing for heat, as usual. Miami opens a road trip in San Antonio on Saturday.

“His condition is still the same,” said Heat’s coach Erik Spoelstra, when asked about Rozier’s place with the team on Friday.

Rozier said that he is “in a large head space” and that he does not anticipate any problem that can concentrate on playing, even with the investigation that has now been publicly revealed.

“It has always been easy. It has been my life, “Rozier said.” You know, once I get between them, I can block anything. So, it will be quite easy for me. I am close to a large group of boys. We have a great costume, a great staff, so it’s easy for me. “

In that game of March 23, 2023, Rozier ended with five points, four rebounds and two assists in that opening period, a productive room, but well below its usual total departure for a complete game.

The publications still online from that date show that some trainers were furious with the betting houses that night when it became evident that Rozier was not going to return to the Charlotte-New Orleans game after the first quarter, and many turned to the Social networks to say that something “” Shady “had continued with respect to the support bets involved in their statistics for that night.

Some sports songs offered Rozier support bets, their totals for that night usually set around 21.5 points, six assists and four rebounds, that day, then took them hours before the start of the Charlotte-New Orleans game. It was not clear why that happened, and some trainers wondered out loud why that unusual movement had taken place. Rozier did not appear in the report of lesions of the team that entered the game.

Rozier, 30, is in the third year of a four -year contract and $ 96.3 million.

Wade reveals 2023 surgery

The member of the Hall of Fame, Dwyane Wade, said that doctors did a surgery of December 2023 in their kidney to eliminate a tumor that was later determined that it is cancerous.

“Thank God that I did the surgery,” Wade said about his podcast episode “The Why Why Dwyane Wade” published Thursday.

Wade said he had not had regular physical exams in a few years before seeing a doctor due to the stomach and urinary problems. A full body scan discovered what he described as a “cyst/tumor” that led to surgery, which Wade said he eliminated 40% of his right kidney.

“I think it was the first time that my family, my dad, my children, they saw me weak,” he said. “That moment was probably the weakest point I have felt in my life. The moments I was alone, I was fighting, dog. Struggling.

“And one thing you never want to do as a man, you never want your family to see you as weak. You don’t want to be perceived weak and you don’t want them to see you in your weak moments. But I had done it.”

Wade retired in 2019 after 16 years in the NBA, highlighted by 15 seasons with the Miami Heat that included winning three world championships and being 13 times All-Star. He also led Marquette to the 2003 Final Four.
