Prosecutors Plan New Bribery Charges Against NBA Guard Terry Rozier
Prosecutors plan new bribery charges against NBA guard Terry Rozier, Fox News reported Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in a development tied to an alleged gambling investigation.
The report says prosecutors intend to seek bribery counts linked to the activity, though the story indicates formal new indictments had not been filed publicly as of the report. The reporting did not include a timetable for any filings.
The episode traces back to earlier reporting that linked Rozier to an alleged gambling scheme under investigation, and to scrutiny of possible betting-related misconduct involving athletes. That coverage prompted renewed attention from prosecutors.
The Fox News report did not include comment from Rozier, his representatives, or prosecutors, and offered few details on potential penalties or how the new counts would be framed in charging papers.
