â FortyEightMinutesâł (@FortyEightMins) April 28, 2026 Per court documents, Rozier told his friend Deniro Laster â who was also arrested and charged in the case â that he would leave a March 2023 game early. That kind of information can be used by sports bettors to make proposition bets on anything from the amount of playing time to over/unders around a playerâs performance. In this case, federal prosecutors say Laster placed bets on Rozierâs playing time. Rozier was playing for the Charlotte Hornets.
