Terry Rozier's trial date set for February 2027
Terry Rozier has pleaded not guilty to all four charges. The judge set a Feb. 8, 2027, date for trial . The NBA, however, put Rozier on leave soon after he was arrested last October. It tried to withhold his $26.6 million salary as well, but Rozier and the NBPA appealed the decision to an arbitrator, who ruled in his favor. But the league ultimately prevailed this spring when it again decreased Rozier's salary, saying the conditions of his bond set in mid-December prevented him from fulfilling his contract. The players union and Rozier again filed a grievance; the arbitrator ruled for the NBA. Trusty said the ban on contact with the Hornets was "devastating" in the arbitrator hearing, though Hall said that argument didn't carry far in her courtroom. Federal prosecutors had also prevented Rozier from speaking to members of the Heat organization while he was still employed by them, but lifted that last month after Rozier was waived by the team. They had also investigated whether Rozier had ever discussed his case with them.
