Miami Heat Waive Terry Rozier, the Last Official Act of a Season Derailed by Federal Gambling Charges
- On Friday, April 10, 2026, the Miami Heat officially waived guard Terry Rozier to open a roster spot ahead of the NBA postseason.
- The NBA placed Rozier on leave in October 2025 following his arrest in a federal investigation into illegal sports betting; he has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges of wire fraud and money laundering.
- Despite Rozier not playing this season, the Heat were required to pay his $26.6 million salary after an arbitrator ruled the league could not withhold funds in escrow.
- The team now has until Sunday's 6 p.m. finale against the Atlanta Hawks to sign a replacement player, with the Heat locked into the play-in tournament.
- Stemming from a 2024 trade with the Charlotte Hornets, the transaction ends a tenure that cost Miami a 2027 first-round pick and failed to generate intended offensive impact.
