Rozier logged 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 victory over the Spurs.
Rozier led the second unit in scoring once again, reaching double figures for the fourth consecutive contest. The 30-year-old has seen a decline in his scoring numbers this season, though he has still provided a valuable spark for the Heat off the bench of late. Over his last five outings, Rozier has averaged 14.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 28.8 minutes per game.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Under federal investigation
Rotowire
Rozier is under federal investigation for potentially cooperating in an illegal sports betting scheme in 2023 while with the Hornets, ESPN reports. A statement by NBA spokesman Mike Bass noted "The league conducted an investigation and did not find a violation of NBA rules. We are now aware of an investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York related to this matter and have been cooperating with that investigation."
While it's encouraging the NBA conducted its own investigation and found no wrongdoing, this is a situation that needs to be monitored after Jontay Porter received a lifetime ban in April 2024 for violating the league's gaming rules. Miami's next game is Saturday in San Antonio. At the time of Haynes' report, there's no information regarding whether or not Rozier will be available for the weekend's matchup.

The veteran guard led the bench in scoring while tying Tyler Herro with a team-high 22 points. Moreover, Rozier was efficient while securing his fourth 20-plus-point outing of the 2024-25 campaign. The 30-year-old has run with the second unit in each of the Heat's last four outings, during which he has averaged 13.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Reverts back to bench Thursday
Rotowire
Rozier will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Bucks.
The veteran guard drew the start for Tyler Herro (groin) during Tuesday's loss to Portland, though he'll retreat to the bench in Herro's return.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Quiet in start
Rotowire
Rozier totaled nine points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Rozier drew the start for Tyler Herro, who missed this game with a groin injury. His fantasy managers could be losing patience, as he's had a brutal January. In his last 11 games, Rozier has been outside the top-200 in nine-category formats with averages of 11.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 three-pointers on 42.1 percent shooting from the field.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Starting sans Herro

Rozier will start for the Heat in Tyler Herro's (groin) absence Tuesday. Rozier has averaged 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.5 threes in 31.1 minutes over 20 games as a starter this season.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Strong showing in rout
Rotowire
Rozier finished with 20 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-107 win over the Spurs.
Sunday marked Rozier's first 20-point display since the Dec. 21 loss to Orlando. It's still been a disappointing 2024-25 campaign overall for the veteran guard during his first full season with the Heat, as he's bounced in and out of Miami's starting lineup all year long. Across 17 outings as a reserve, Rozier has averaged 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 threes in 25.9 minutes. It's unclear how head coach Erik Spoelstra will handle the starting shooting guard spot going forward, but Rozier has been far more efficient from the second unit than with the first five.

Rotowire
Rozier isn't starting in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Scores 11 points in loss
Rotowire
Rozier chipped in 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Monday's 109-98 loss to the Clippers.
Rozier has started in each of the Heat's last six games, but the results have been a bit underwhelming, as he's failed to reach the 15-point plateau in all but one of those outings. The backcourt of Rozier and Tyler Herro hasn't been as productive as expected, and Rozier has been the one who hasn't lived up to expectations this season. Through 19 starts this season, he's averaging 12.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 31.4 minutes per game.

Rozier tied his season-high mark in assists during his return from a one-game suspension.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Scores season-high 23 points
Rotowire
Rozier notched 23 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Magic.
Rozier has had a disappointing season in 2024-25, but this game was a step in the right direction, as the veteran guard surpassed the 20-point plateau for the first time in the campaign. Rozier's struggles this season haven't gone unnoticed. He opened the year in a starting role but hasn't been part of the first unit since Nov. 17, when he had nine points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and four boards across 27 minutes. Furthermore, Rozier was coming off four single-digit scoring efforts in his previous seven outings, so in a way, this 23-point effort almost came out of nowhere.
