Terry Rozier’s efforts to continue his NBA career are hindered by a court order barring him from any contact with the Charlotte Hornets, his attorney argued in a motion Wednesday.
Rozier is accused of conspiring with friends to help them win bets on his performance during a March 2023 game when he played for the Hornets. He has pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering. Last week, he was charged in a new indictment with bribery in sporting contests and honest services wire fraud conspiracy.

Rozier has denied participating in the gambling scheme, and has been fighting to have the case dismissed.
In the new motion, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Rozier’s lawyer, Jim Trusty, asked for the dismissal of a court-imposed ban on contact with anyone from the Hornets.
