The inquiry is part of a wider government investigation that has already ensnared Jontay Porter.
The gambling ring accused of conspiring with Jontay Porter to manipulate his performance in NBA games also bet heavily against Rozier a 2023 game for the Hornets.
I'm not one for conspiracy theories, generally, but I have been worried lately that these partnerships between gambling platforms and pro sports leagues, which are becoming more and more prevalent with each passing day, might be leading us down a path that ends with everything being tainted, and possibly even damn-near scripted. I know it's bonkers to imagine things getting that far, but if they catch people doing stuff like this, I really hope they take drastic measures to make an example of them.
