The arrests are made for two separate cases. One case is related to insider sports betting, while another is related to rigging underground poker games.

Which federal case is Terry Rozier arrested in?

FBI director Kash Patel held a press conference on Thursday to disclose details on the 30-plus arrests they made in New York City. Patel revealed that the suspects are held in custody for two primary cases: insider sports betting and rigging poker games.

Former Hornets guard Terry Rozier is indicted in the first case. He is being investigated for being involved in an insider betting scheme that exploited confidential information to gain an advantage in the bets.

"It is one of the most brazen sports corruption schemes since only sports betting became widely legalized in the United States," U.S. Attorney, Joseph Nocella said.

Rozier was arrested in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday morning. He will be arraigned inside the city's federal courthouse later in the day. The former Hornets guard currently plays for the Miami Heat.

However, he has not suited up for Miami a single time this season. Last season, Terry Rozier played 64 games for the Heat, while starting in 23. He averaged 10.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. The Heat has not yet released a statement about Rozier's future on the team.
