Federal prosecutors are investigating additional NBA games beyond the seven listed in a Department of Justice indictment unsealed this fall.
Lawyers from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York have indicated they are reviewing more contests that may have been impacted by the alleged insider betting scheme.
The case has already involved Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and former Raptors center Jontay Porter.
Rozier was charged in October for allegedly providing inside information to gamblers about his playing status during a March 2023 game with the Hornets.
According to the indictment, he told a friend he would leave the game early, which led bettors to place prop wagers. Rozier and five other defendants have pleaded not guilty.
Porter pleaded guilty in July 2024 after admitting he exited early from two Raptors games during the 2023/24 season. He was banned from the NBA and is awaiting sentencing.
Four other men were charged for helping plan the scheme, with three pleading guilty. One of them, Timothy McCormack, was sentenced last week to two years in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
“The government has ongoing investigations,” assistant U.S. Attorney David Berman said in court. “And our understanding is the defendant has conducted himself in similar manners in other instances as well.”
Prosecutors say the number of games and players potentially involved remains unknown. NBA spokesman Mike Bass said the league continues to assist authorities.
“We continue to assist the relevant authorities in their investigation as well as work with federal and state regulators on appropriate limitations on the types of bets placed on NBA games,” Bass said. “The integrity of our game remains our highest priority.”
Former Pistons guard Malik Beasley also remains under federal investigation and has not signed with a team this season, with his attorney saying he remains stuck in “investigative purgatory.”
