Terry Rozier must forfeit most of his $26 million NBA salary, arbitrator rules

Article excerpt

An arbitrator ruled that Terry Rozier must give up most of his $26 million salary from the Miami Heat after determining he breached his obligations to play for the team. Rozier, who has pleaded not guilty in an ongoing sports gambling investigation, faced the penalty over disputes with the franchise. The decision came down last month but was only recently made public. The ruling marks a significant financial consequence for the NBA player as the league continues to scrutinize his conduct.
