Along with his recent arrest by the FBI for allegedly fixing a pro-gambling bet, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was reportedly hit with an $8 Million tax lien.

According to ESPN, the IRS filed the $8,218,211 federal income tax lien in Broward County, Florida, in November 2023, where Rozier has a residence. Steven N. Klitzner, a tax attorney, “the lien would have been filed after past due notices were sent to the taxpayer.”

"It shouldn't be a surprise to them," Klitzner said.

Jim Trusty, Rozier's attorney, said his client did not owe the amount that was listed on the lien.

"Terry never owed anyone $8 million," Trusty told ESPN in a statement Wednesday morning. "He owed $9000 of the total $8 million in taxes from 2021, and it has been paid. We just need the IRS to help remove the now-defunct lien."

Last week, Rozier was arrested by the FBI for his alleged involvement in a gambling schemeAccording to a federal indictment unsealed last Thursday, Rozier was accused of sharing confidential information about his plans to leave a game early to a friend, Deniro Laster. The information was then sold to bettors for about $100,000, and bets were placed on the March 23rd game. After playing just over nine minutes, Rozier checked out of the game with a foot injury.

The indictment also states that Rozier paid for Laster to travel to Philadelphia “to collect the proceeds from the scheme, according to the indictment, before driving to Rozier's home to count the money with him.”

Both Rozier and Laster were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. They were among the more than 30 defendants, including Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, former NBA player and coach Damon Jones, who were arrested in two separate sweeping federal gambling investigations.

In a statement at the time that his client is "not a gambler" and "looks forward to winning this fight."
