Terry Rozier is an American basketball player who plays as a combo guard for the Miami Heat. He is known for his scintillating dribble combos and shooting ability.
Rozier played college hoops at Louisville, where he shared the court with future NBA player Montrezl Harrell for two seasons. After being drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 16th overall pick in 2016, Rozier encountered a learning curve during his first two seasons.
In his first two NBA seasons, Rozier averaged 4.3 points in 13.9 minutes per game. The limited playing time reflected the challenges of adapting to the NBA pace. Nevertheless, a notable transformation occurred in his third season, marked by an increased average game time of 25.9 minutes.
Rozier averaged 11.3 points per game in his third season, signaling a remarkable progression in his role. In the 2018 NBA playoffs, Rozier seamlessly replaced star point guard Kyrie Irving and contributed significantly to the Celtics' run to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost a gritty, tough seven-game series 4-3 to the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers. Rozier's 2018 playoff stats were outstanding as he averaged 16.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.3 steals.
In the 2023/24 NBA season, Rozier averaged 23.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.1 steals in 30 games for the Charlotte Hornets.
