NEW YORK (AP) — Miami Heat player Terry Rozier is set to appear in a New York court on charges he helped gamblers placing bets on his performance in NBA games.
The 31-year-old point guard will be formally arraigned in Brooklyn federal court late Monday on federal wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges. He’ll also join five other co-defendants and their lawyers for a pre-trial hearing later in the day on the case.
Rozier previously appeared before a federal judge in Orlando on Oct. 23, when prosecutors first announced the indictment.

Prosecutors say Rozier conspired with friends to help them wi
