Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and will remain sidelined for the beginning of postseason play. Caleb Martin has been starting at shooting guard recently, but Duncan Robinson (back) is expected to be available following a four-game absence of his own, so it's unclear who'll share the backcourt with Tyler Herro.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Rozier is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Atlanta due to neck spasms.
Rozier was able to play through his neck issue in Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Pacers, but he struggled to the tune of four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists and two steals in just 22 minutes. The injury isn't yet behind him, and because Tuesday marks the front end of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising if Rozier sat out.
