The case involved Rozier's status during a season in which he did not play after being arrested and later waived by the Miami Heat.
According to the ruling, per The Athletic's Mike Vorkunov, the conditions placed on Rozier after his release, including restrictions on travel and limits on contact with the Heat organization, meant he was considered in violation of his NBA contract. That decision led the arbitrator to side with the league.
Rozier's salary had been under dispute as both the NBA and the player previously went through arbitration to determine whether he should be paid in full while facing federal charges linked to an alleged sports gambling case.
Rozier has been away from the court since October 23, when he was arrested shortly after Miami's first game of the season. The Heat later waived him as the legal process continued.
The NBA has been dealing with wider gambling-related investigations across the league, including multiple cases that have raised questions about how such situations should be handled under league rules.
