</p><p>On January 30, 2025, the NBA announced that Rozier was under investigation by federal authorities in connection with a sports betting scandal. "We are now aware of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York related to this matter and have been cooperating with that investigation," an NBA spokesman said. Allegations surround a 2023 game when Rozier's Hornets faced the <a href="/facts/New_Orleans_Pelicans/UIgTbb8m">New Orleans Pelicans</a> and an unusual pattern of bets were placed on Rozier having a subpar game statistically.
