Terry Rozier

The Miami Heat are waiving guard Terry Rozier.

Rozier had been placed on leave by the NBA since October after federal indictments into sports gambling activity. The Heat will open up a roster spot.

The NBA has placed Terry Rozier on immediate leave from the Miami Heat, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Thursday. This action follows Rozier's arrest earlier Thursday morning in connection with an FBI sports betting probe.

The league acted swiftly following Rozier's arrest. There is currently no timetable for his potential return to the Heat, as the investigation is ongoing and could be a lengthy process. Rozier's availability for the foreseeable future is highly uncertain, until more information becomes available regarding the investigation and potential league discipline.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was arrested early Thursday morning as part of an ongoing FBI investigation into sports betting, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. This confirms earlier reports from Pablo Torre connecting Rozier to the probe concerning illegal gambling on NBA games.

Fantasy Impact

Rozier's arrest comes as a surprise, as previous assumptions suggested he had been cleared in the investigation, which reportedly also involved Malik Beasley and other former players. Rozier now potentially faces charges that could lead to a suspension and/or jail time. His playing status is highly uncertain. The Department of Justice is scheduled to provide more information during a press conference at 10 am ET on Thursday.

Terry Rozier (hamstring) will be available to play in Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran is going to be available to play on Wednesday. His hamstring injury is not serious at this point and shouldn't limit his workload at all. He will be in line for more work than usual with Tyler Herro (ankle) set to miss some time, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will be a relevant streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Terry Rozier was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Fantasy Impact

Rozier has been recovering from a hamstring strain but was able to practice fully on Thursday. He could make his preseason debut in the Miami Heat's final preseason game on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. If he’s healthy for the start of the regular season, he may struggle for minutes early on if rookie Kasparas Jakucionis (hip) is available, as Rozier has seen limited action during training camp. He's best left on waivers for now.
