The Miami Heat are receiving a 2026 second-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets as additional compensation related to the Terry Rozier trade dispute, according to Tim Reynolds of the AP.

The pick resolves a dispute stemming from Rozier being under NBA and federal investigations over an alleged gambling conspiracy during the Charlotte-Miami January 2024 trade, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Back in late January 2024, Rozier was traded to the Heat in exchange for Kyle Lowry and a protected first-round pick. Rozier had played in Charlotte from 2019 to 2024.
Rozier hasn't played since last season. He remains on leave following his arrest on federal gambling charges last fall and isn't expected to return this season.
Because of this, Miami doesn't need to cut him by March 1 to preserve his playoff eligibility for another team.
Rozier, 31, is expected to be waived before the end of the season.
Over 10 NBA seasons and 665 career games, Rozier has averaged 13.9 points and 3.5 assists per game.
