NBPA says arbitrator rules Terry Rozier should receive $26.6M salary despite gambling charges

An arbitrator has ruled in favor of Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, stating that he is entitled to receive his $26.6 million salary for the 2025-26 season despite facing federal gambling charges. The National Basketball Players Association successfully argued that Rozier's situation does not warrant salary withholding under the collective bargaining agreement, which only allows such actions in cases of domestic or child abuse.
