Federal prosecutors allege that veteran guard Terry Rozier agreed to accept a payment worth about $100,000 from a sports gambler to take himself out early from an NBA game while he was playing for the Charlotte Hornets.

The allegations come in an indictment filed Thursday by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York. The filing claims that Rozier conspired with a group of gamblers, including Marves Fairley, to use nonpublic information to help them win their bets.

Prosecutors said that Rozier has been playing despite a lower leg injury but used that as an excuse to exit a game early. Ultimately, the indictment said, he told a friend, Deniro Laster, that he would leave the March 23, 2023, Hornets game against the  New Orleans Pelicans in the first quarter. Laster then reportedly shared that information with the gamblers.

Fairley pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts in the NBA gambling case and said he paid an NBA player to limit his performance. A federal prosecutor them clarified in court that Rozier was that player.

“I agreed to pay a player to change their game performance,” Fairley said.

Jim Trusty, an attorney for Rozier, denied the claims. Rozier pleaded not guilty to the original charges filed in October.
