And what I'm told is contrary to Shams Charania’s reporting, is that Terry Rozier has not been cleared of any wrongdoing, only that his name came up in the existing federal investigation. And this relates directly to why Moose is this character that we're focusing on, because Freemoose_NBA speaks to the federal investigation, which clearly is also still ongoing. Right. On that day, the same day that Terry Rosier News drops, this guy, Freemoose_NBA, tweeted something that was even more provocative because on that day, he posted, quote, "First was Jontay, then was Rosier, next you'll hear about capital M, four asterisks, capital B, and then six asterisks." The symmetry of the rule of three. Jontay, Rozier, M****** B*****. This guy, Freemoose_NBA, posted another tweet right after that one and said there's another current player who's going to have a report come out about them next. Won't say the name, but they play on the Pistons right now. This is the first documented mention by anyone anywhere that Malik Beasley was going to come up as part of this investigation.
At which point it became clear that Moose_NBA, Twitter's Malik Beasley Profit was more than just Facebook friends with alleged Jontay Porter co-conspirator Ammar Awawdeh. Moose was his relative, his cousin. This is where it takes us back now to the legal documents as we try to connect all the dots here. Right. So, generally observing the following in the Jontay Porter legal documents, quote, "A relative of the defendant, Ammar Awawdeh, whose identity is known to me, placed a $10,000 parlay bet through betting company one on the under for player 1's three-pointers, assists, and steals." It goes on to talk about how the relative won $85,000, netting a profit of $75,000. And so just saying that Ammar Awawdeh in terms of the information he was sharing, who he was bringing in to the thing he was already caught up in. We don't know which family member it is. They're anonymous according to federal prosecutors, but family is literally mentioned in the federal investigation a number of times.
I had to follow up with Mustafa to make sure he had his story straight on this. So I asked him again. You did not get information on Malik Beasley from Ammar Awawdeh who was part of the Jontay Porter case? No. Like I said, I got it off of Reddit. Do you have that Reddit forum that you got it from that you could show me? I could probably find it. Yeah. Would you be fine with me searching it and then getting it to you on Twitter? Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great. All right, we'll do that one. Despite the evidence from his own posts and his own brags to having a connection to someone in this he claims zero knowledge and that he got it from he got it from Reddit. Yeah, he said he got it from Reddit. Uh, and it was public. And after I hung up with Mustafa Omar, who promised me to hit me back on Twitter and send that Reddit post that would clear him of all of this and just say, "Hey, they had it. It wasn't me." What happened next was I logged back into my Twitter account and I DM'd him back a reminder being like, "Hey, uh, yeah, if you can just grab that Reddit post and send it back to me." Bloop. I got an error message and that error message said message not sent. Sending direct message failed. I thought my internet was down or that he turned off his DMs, but nope. Nope, guys. He had shut down his account at 1237474849 lowercase a.
But there remains the possibility of trades that can bring changes to Miami’s roster. Rozier and Wiggins are two players who the Heat has explored trading this offseason, according to league sources.

Terry Rozier cleared of any wrongdoing in gambling federal probe
ESPN's Shams Charania reported on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday that Terry Rozier has now been cleared of any wrongdoing regarding the federal probe. "Terry Rozier as of now has been cleared. He finished the season with Miami, there's nothing really active as of right now with him," Charania said.
An official announcement was never made by the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding the conclusion of their investigation into Rozier and they also never commented on the situation beyond the beginning of the investigation, It appears Rozier will be ready to go for the 2026 season. He'll be paid $26 million for the final year of a four-year contract.
The Heat’s final offer included Andrew Wiggins, Terry Rozier, two bench players and the 20th pick in Wednesday’s NBA Draft. Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez Jr. were discussed as those two additional pieces in Miami’s offer, the source said. In order for Miami to make the deal cap compliant and offer the Suns more than only Wiggins, Rozier and the 20th pick, Miami was willing to take on the salary of an unnamed Suns player, according to an Eastern Conference source.
Terry Rozier and Kevin Love began the season in the Miami Heat’s rotation. But both have since fallen out of the rotation and won’t be available for Game 2 of the Heat’s first-round playoff series against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night. Rozier will miss Game 2 at Rocket Arena after spraining his left ankle during an optional workout on Monday and Love remains away from the team because of ongoing personal reasons. It’s just the latest setback amid a rough season for Rozier, who began the season as a Heat starter but received eight DNP-CDs (did not play, coach’s decision) over the final 14 regular-season games. He also did not play in the Heat’s two play-in tournament games and did not receive any playing time in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Cavaliers in Cleveland before turning his ankle the next day.

“I really feel for Terry,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said following Wednesday’s morning shootaround at Rocket Arena. “You can see what kind of teammate he is, just how much everybody roots for him — staff and players alike. I love his vibe. I like how he’s a team guy. “Even when he hasn’t been in the rotation, he’s rooting for everybody and he’s continued to work. He’s always had that great work ethic and that edge, and it’s a bummer that he got hurt basically on one of the last plays of the scrimmage. But he heals fast and we’ll just treat him day to day.”
Rozier, who is in a walking boot and on crutches, was one of only four players in the NBA who shot worse than 40 percent from the field and worse than 30 percent on threes while playing in at least 60 games this regular season. That list also includes Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun, Philadelphia 76ers guard Ricky Council IV and Orlando Magic guard Jett Howard. “I have the utmost respect for Terry,” Heat captain and three-time All-Star center Bam Adebayo said. “He could have let go of the rope, like a lot of guys have done in this league. They let go of the rope because they’re out of the rotation or whatever the case may be. For him to keep fighting, keep having perseverance and just keep stacking days of just trying to get better, you respect that in somebody.”
Anthony Chiang: Heat guard Terry Rozier sprained his left ankle today during an optional workout. He'll be listed as questionable for Game 2 on Wednesday. Kevin Love remains away from the team because of personal reasons.
