Interesting story yesterday from Sports Illustrated.
From Pat Forde:
A federal investigation into an organized web of alleged game-fixing in men’s basketball at both the professional and college levels is advancing, sources tell Sports Illustrated, with a grand jury convened and multiple jurisdictions involved.
In addition to former NBA player Jontay Porter, who was banned from the league for life last year, investigators are looking into the performances of other NBA players, sources say. Veteran guard Terry Rozier, currently of the Miami Heat, is the subject of scrutiny dating back to his time with the Charlotte Hornets in 2023, per sources. The Wall Street Journal originally reported the Rozier inquiry Thursday.
