• New NBA injury reporting guidelines implemented by teams
• NBA explores limitations on player prop betting
• Terry Rozier’s sports betting case progresses in New York

Following the trends set by Major League Baseball and the NFL, reports indicate that the NBA is preparing to restrict prop betting associated with the league.

According to ESPN NBA journalist Shams Charania, the NBA’s headquarters has communicated new betting regulations to its teams, primarily focusing on injury disclosures.

In a New York court proceeding yesterday, the federal case involving Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier continued, with his defense team seeking the dismissal of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy charges linked to sports wagering.

Charges Against Rozier

Rozier is accused of colluding with gamblers during his time with the Charlotte Hornets, allegedly opting to sit out a game in March 2023 due to an injury.

This information was reportedly shared with a co-conspirator who then disseminated it to bettors. As a result, over $250K was wagered on prop bets directly benefiting Rozier. Prosecutors claim that details about Rozier’s injury were not included in the Hornets’ pregame announcements and were not disclosed to the public or sportsbooks.

Updated Injury Reporting Regulations

According to reports, teams are now mandated to update their injury lists on game days between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time and to refresh public disclosures every 15 minutes.

The NBA is also reportedly aiming to collaborate with sports betting companies to establish restrictions surrounding individual player prop bets. These may include caps on maximum bet amounts and limitations on “under” prop wagers.

After Cleveland Guardians pitchers faced charges in a sports betting and money laundering scandal in October, sportsbook operators agreed to implement a $200 cap on individual pitch micro-betting in MLB, along with prohibiting these bets in parlays.

MLB’s Prop Betting Limitations

In November, the NFL outlined to teams a list of prohibited betting categories, including those that are designed to be harmful or inflammatory, related to officiating, and concerning pre-determined outcomes directly affecting on-field play (e.g., Will the quarterback start this week? Will the team’s initial play from scrimmage be a run or pass?).
