Terry Rozier's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (knee) has been ruled out for their Tuesday night game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He left their last game on Sunday due to a knee sprain and wasn't able to return to the court. Now, he'll miss at least one game while he tends to his knee. That means two big pieces in Rozier and Jimmy Butler (personal) won't be available, so Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are likely to take on the bulk of the scoring load. In terms of streaming options, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Caleb Martin should both see heavy minutes with the starting five while Duncan Robinson (questionable - shoulder/elbow) will get even more opportunities if he's able to play. There hasn't been a firm timetable for Rozier's return just yet, so it is yet to be reported on the severity of the knee sprain.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (undisclosed) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The former Hornet suffered what appeared to be a right leg injury while going up for a shot late in the third quarter. While there wasn't an official update regarding Rozier's condition, his injury prevented him from shooting free throws, meaning he was ineligible to return to the contest. Jimmy Butler (personal) wasn't available for this one, and Josh Richardson (shoulder) was ruled out in the first half. As a result, the Heat will be shorthanded for the remainder of the game. There's also a chance the team will be without Butler, Rozier, and Richardson against Milwaukee on Tuesday night. If that's the case, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo may be tasked with more responsibilities on the scoring end, with Duncan Robinson, Cody Martin, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. in line to start.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier has been cleared to make his team debut on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The Heat swung a trade for Rozier with the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday to improve their slow-paced, lackluster offense, and the newcomer will be available to play on Wednesday. It's fair to expect Rozier to immediately step into Miami's starting lineup alongside Tyler Herro in the backcourt, but it could take some time for him to get acclimated to his new surroundings. There's some risk in DFS, with Wednesday's tilt sporting the lowest implied point total (213.5) on the slate, but Rozier belongs in all season-long lineups while yielding early-round fantasy numbers on averages of 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, 2.8 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals during 35.5 minutes across 30 games.

The Charlotte Hornets are trading guard Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat for a 2027 first-round pick and Kyle Lowry. After bowing out of the Damian Lillard sweepstakes this past offseason, the Heat resort to a contingency plan of sorts to bolster their offense ahead of February's trade deadline. Rozier's presence will offer a secondary ball handler and shot creator to Miami, who rank in the bottom 10 of the NBA in points per game (110.9) and field-goal percentage (46.4%). The 29-year-old combo guard was putting together an All-Star-caliber season in Charlotte with LaMelo Ball missing so much time this year, producing third-round fantasy value on averages of 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, 2.8 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals in 35.5 minutes over 30 games. Rozier's counting stats are in line to decrease a bit on a contending squad in South Beach, but his career-high 45.9% field-goal shooting is sustainable alongside his star teammates.

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Rozier will play after being listed as probable heading into this game. The expectation is that he'll move right into the starting five, which will shift Ish Smith back to the bench. Fantasy managers who have Rozier rostered can get him back in their lineups on Tuesday night.
