The Charlotte Hornets have removed a sports betting theme night from their 2025-26 season promotional calendar, originally scheduled for March 17 vs. the Miami Heat. That game is slated to feature former player Terry Rozier, now with the Heat, in a visit to the Spectrum Center.
The Hornets’ more innocuous themes included Kids Day, Breast Cancer Awareness, Hoops for Troops and others. Rozier, however, is mentioned in a federal sports betting probe stemming from a 2023 game when he was a member of the Hornets. Coincidentally, March 17 is also Rozier’s birthday.
Per Ira Winderman of the Orlando Sun-Sentinel, the Hornets now say the “Sports Betting” theme night is no longer happening on that date.
