Miami Heat player Terry Rozier has pleaded not guilty to charges he helped gamblers placing bets on his performance in NBA games.

The 31-year-old point guard formally entered the plea during his arraignment in Brooklyn federal court Monday on federal wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges.

Prosecutors say Rozier conspired with friends to help them win bets on his performance in a March 2023 game when he played for the Charlotte Hornets.

Rozier, through his attorney, has denied any wrongdoing.

The Ohio native was one of three current or former NBA players ensnared in a sprawling federal takedown of illegal gambling operations linked to professional sports.
