Inside the dazzling life of Miami Heat’s electrifying guard as Terry Rozier has landed in hot water
One of the most well-known players in the game is the Miami Heat’s explosive guard. According to Clutch Points and Business Upturn, Rozier’s anticipated net worth in 2025 will be close to $10 million.Outside of the NBA, Rozier is well-known for living a lavish lifestyle. In addition to owning expensive cars, he is the proud owner of a house. On social media, he frequently shares pictures of himself sporting high-end clothing.However, now, he has landed in trouble. Terry Rozier’s attorney says Terry is not a gambler and looks forward to winning this fight. He further said:“We have represented Terry Rozier for over a year. A long time ago we reached out to these prosecutors to tell them we should have an open line of communication. They characterized Terry as a subject, not a target, but at 6 am this morning they called to tell me FBI agents were trying to arrest him in a hotel..”He added:“It is unfortunate that instead of allowing him to self surrender they opted for a photo op. They wanted the misplaced glory of embarrassing a professional athlete with a perp walk. That tells you a lot about the motivations in this case. They appear to be taking the word of spectacularly in-credible sources rather than relying on actual evidence of wrongdoing. Terry was cleared by the NBA and these prosecutors revived that non-case. Terry is not a gambler, but he is not afraid of a fight, and he looks forward to winning this fight.”
