Heat's Terry Rozier: Doesn't practice Friday
Rotowire
Rozier (ankle) didn't participate in Friday's practice, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier missed the first two games of the first round due to a sprained left ankle, and his lack of participation in practice bodes poorly for his status ahead of Saturday's Game 3 against Cleveland. Miami is expected to update the veteran guard's status for Game 3 by Friday night, though his potential absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation.

Rotowire
Rozier (ankle) is listed as out for Game 2 versus the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Sprains ankle, iffy for Game 2
Rotowire
Rozier is listed as questionable for Game 2 of the Heat's first-round series against the Cavaliers on Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Rozier sprained his ankle Monday during an optional workout, putting his availability for Game 2 in jeopardy. Even if the injury keeps Rozier from playing, his absence wouldn't open up any extra minutes for other players. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra held Rozier out of the rotation for both of the team's Play-In Tournament games as well as the team's 121-100 loss to Cleveland in Game 1.

Rotowire
Rozier (illness) isn't listed on Miami's injury report for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Rozier missed Thursday's loss to the Grizzlies due to a stomach illness but will suit up Saturday. However, the veteran guard isn't guaranteed playing time. He appeared in only two of the Heat's previous eight contests before his ailment.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Rozier (illness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Deemed questionable against Memphis
Rotowire
Rozier is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a stomach illness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier has only appeared twice across Miami's previous eight outings, so his potential absence shouldn't significantly impact the team's rotation. If Rozier is upgraded to available, he will likely compete for bench minutes in Miami's backcourt with Davion Mitchell.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Cleared to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Rozier (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier was listed on Tuesday's injury report due to an illness, but he has managed to recover enough to suit up for Wednesday's interconference clash. The veteran guard has averaged 7.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals over 20.1 minutes per game since the All-Star break. He should see a fair amount of playing time off the bench due to the absence of Alec Burks (back).

Rotowire
Rozier (illness) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
Rozier popped up on the injury report for the Heat on Tuesday, with the veteran guard dealing with an illness. However, he's trending toward playing against the Clippers on Wednesday. The 30-year-old is averaging 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 40.1 percent from the floor and 30.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Not starting Friday
Rotowire
Rozier is not in the Heat's starting lineup against the Timberwolves on Friday.
Rozier will cede his spot in the starting lineup to Pelle Larsson on Friday. Rozier started in the Heat's last two games and averaged 13.5 points, 3.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 37.5 minutes while shooting 30.8 percent from the floor (including 13.3 percent from three on 7.5 3PA/G).

Heat's Terry Rozier: Productive in Monday's start
Rotowire
Rozier finished with 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 106-90 victory over the Wizards.
With Davion Mitchell (quadriceps) on the shelf, Rozier made his first start since Jan. 21 and delivered solid numbers. The veteran guard hadn't played more than 25 minutes in a game since Feb. 7 as he dealt with an illness off and on last month, but Rozier's performance Monday is a strong sign he's 100 percent healthy. Once Mitchell is cleared to return though, Rozier will likely slide back to the second unit.

Heat's Terry Rozier: In starting lineup Monday
Rotowire
Rozier will enter the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Wizards.
Rozier has been phased out of Miami's rotation recently, but a multitude of injures to the starting lineup have forced the team to thrust the veteran guard into the first unit. Across his last six games as a starter, Rozier has averaged 9.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Out of rotation
Rotowire
Rozier was a DNP-Coach's Decision for Monday's and Wednesday's games against the Hawks.
Rozier's play briefly improved in late January and early February, but he averaged 5.3 points on 30.0 percent shooting in his final three appearances before these DNP-CDs. The trade deadline acquisitions of Davion Mitchell and Andrew Wiggins seem to have pushed Rozier out of coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation for the time being.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Limited minutes in return
Rotowire
Rozier (illness) registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 16 minutes in Friday's 120-111 overtime win over the Raptors.
After missing the Heat's final two games before the All-Star break due to a stomach illness, Rozier was back in action for the team's first contest of the second half. He played his fewest minutes since Dec. 7 in the win, and the lower playing time could become a recurring trend with head coach Erik Spoelstra having relied heavily upon newly acquired guard Davion Mitchell in the backcourt alongside Tyler Herro. Mitchell played 30-plus minutes Friday for the third contest in a row, leaving little time left over for Rozier, Duncan Robinson (23 minutes) and Jaime Jaquez (zero minutes).

Heat's Terry Rozier: Cleared to play against Toronto
Rotowire
Rozier (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Raptors.
After missing the last two games for the Heat due to an illness, Rozier will be available to get back on the floor Friday in Toronto. The veteran scorer should give the team an offensive boost off the bench, as he's scored at least 19 points in four of the last six games he's played.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Still out against Dallas
Rotowire
Rozier (illness) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Mavericks.
Rozier will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to a stomach bug that is going around the Heat's locker room. Davion Mitchell and Alec Burks should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Rozier's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break against Dallas on Feb. 21.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Ruled out with illness
Rotowire
Rozier (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Rozier is battling a stomach flu and won't be able to play Wednesday against Oklahoma City. The veteran guard is averaging 12.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 40.7 percent from the floor and 30.6 percent from beyond the arc.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Rozier is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to a stomach illness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Duncan Robinson was also a late addition to the injury report with a stomach illness, and both players were held out of the morning shootaround. Meanwhile, Tyler Herro (illness) and Jaime Jaquez are still carrying questionable tags. With so many players iffy to suit up, this is a situation to monitor closely.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Pops for game-high 20
Rotowire
Rozier registered 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Friday's 102-86 loss to the Nets.
The Heat were shorthanded in the wake of the Jimmy Butler deal, and Rozier wound up leading all scorers on the night. The veteran guard has been on a role of late, scoring at least 19 points and draining multiple three-pointers in four of the last five games -- a stretch in which Rozier is averaging 17.2 points, 4.4 boards, 3.0 assists and 3.0 threes in 30.6 minutes a contest while shooting 41.7 percent from beyond the arc. Given his recent production, his role and usage may not change much once Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell are cleared to join the Miami lineup.
