Arbitrator: Heat must pay Terry Rozier’s salary, trade situation unclear

Miami guard Terry Rozier will receive his $26.6 million salary for the current season after an arbitrator ruled on Monday that the Heat couldn't withhold the money while Rozier awaits trial on federal charges stemming from a sports-betting investigation.

Rozier, 31, was arrested Oct. 23 and charged with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering. He entered a not-guilty plea, and he is free on $3 million bond.

The Heat put Rozier on administrative leave and began depositing his paychecks into an interest-bearing escrow account.
