Federal prosecutors alleged in a court filing that Deniro Laster, a co-defendant in the NBA betting case, told a gambler in April 2023 that he and Terry Rozier were setting up another under bet involving an unnamed Hornets teammate of Rozier's. Rozier's attorney David Markus said Rozier denies the new allegations and is innocent, while the NBA said no other player besides Rozier is alleged to have engaged in misconduct. The text was allegedly sent about two weeks after Rozier left a March 23, 2023, Hornets game against the New Orleans Pelicans in the first quarter, which prosecutors say was tied to an alleged $100,000 bribe. It is unclear whether Rozier knew of the text or whether the teammate was aware of any plan, and the government has not charged anyone over the teammate plan. Rozier and Laster have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled for trial February 8 in Brooklyn.
