Heat Waive Terry Rozier After Federal Gambling Indictment

The Miami Heat have officially waived guard Terry Rozier, ending one of the most bizarre player situations in recent NBA history. Rozier has been on leave from the team since October after federal indictments related to sports gambling activity. He hasn't played a single game this season.

The move opens up a roster spot for Miami heading into the postseason — and the Heat aren't wasting it. They're expected to evaluate potential signings over the weekend to bolster their playoff rotation. For Rozier, this is the end of a Miami tenure that started with a trade from Charlotte and ended with a federal investigation.

The NBA spent years telling fans to gamble. Then its own players got caught doing it. Rozier is just the latest casualty of a league that invited the wolf in and is now shocked it's biting.
