Another layer to Heat guard Terry Rozier’s alleged role in the NBA sports betting scheme is coming to light after ESPN found records that showed he was facing an $8 million tax lien from the IRS. 

According to Broward County, Florida, clerk records obtained by the Worldwide Leader in Sports, the IRS filed a federal income tax lien of $8,218,211 on Rozier in November 2023. 

The lien was filed the same year Rozier — who was then playing for the Hornets — is alleged to have pulled himself from an NBA game as part of the illegal sports betting scheme. 

MPs have called on Ofgem to tap network companies’ £4 billion windfall to fund a major new energy debt relief scheme, as record levels of household energy debt push millions further into hardship.

The recommendation is part of the energy security and net zero select committee’s Cost of Energy report, published today, which warns that “there is no shortage of money in the wider energy system” even as households face soaring bills.

In a report released on Wednesday, the Energy Security and Net Zero (ESNZ) Committee called it “completely inexcusable” that households are forced to choose between eating and heating while companies behind Great Britain’s gas pipes and power lines amass huge profits.

The UK faces an energy affordability crisis after electricity and gas prices soared from late 2021, driven by the reopening of economies after Covid and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
