"Even though his salary will still count against the Miami Heat's salary cap books, they will not be paying Terry Rozier while he's on leave of absence, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania and AP's Tim Reynolds first reported Wednesday. According to Charania, his paycheck - as well as Chauncey Billups' - will be "withheld and placed in escrow, pending outcome of FBI cases.""
"Rozier is on the books for $26.6 million, even though $24.9 million was guaranteed on their books entering the 2025-26 season. With his salary still present, the Heat remain without enough salary to sign a 15th player to their active roster without exceeding the luxury tax. Rozier, 31, was one of 34 individuals arrested in an illegal gambling scandal. He has not appeared in a game this season and has since been put on leave by the Heat."
