On January 30, 2025, the NBA made headlines as Terry Rozier became embroiled in a federal investigation related to a sports betting scandal. In the midst of this situation, Kevin Love piqued interest by sharing a cryptic clip from “Uncut Gems,” coinciding with the unfolding news of Rozier’s alleged betting involvement.
The drama began during a 2023 matchup between Terry Rozier’s team, the Charlotte Hornets, and the New Orleans Pelicans. Fans observed unusual betting patterns specifically targeting Rozier, which indicated that he was expected to underperform that night. To heighten the tension, Rozier had to leave the game early due to a foot injury, managing to play just nine minutes before exiting. After knowing about the recent NBA statement, Love took to Instagram to poke fun at Rozier.
Love shared a scene from Uncut Gems, starring Adam Sandler, where the actors discussed gambling. He also added, “Ayo – f**k goin’ on?” to poke fun at Rozier regarding his current situation.

The NBA issued a statement confirming that their investigation did not uncover any violations of NBA rules. However, they acknowledged that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York is now conducting its own investigation related to this matter, and the league is cooperating with that investigation.
