Terry Rozier gives update on his recovery from injury

Terry Rozier, who missed the end of last season due to neck spasms, has provided an update on his recovery.

The 30-year-old guard, who has been working out at the Miami Heat’s practice court at Kaseya Center, shared his progress with the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

He is not yet fully cleared for five-on-five action but has been participating in on-court drills and playing three-on-three.

Rozier stated, “I would say not totally fully, fully, fully cleared playing five-on-five, but I am doing every on-court activity, playing a little bit three-on-three.” He added that he expects to move up to full five-on-five play in the next couple of weeks as his recovery progresses.

The injury, which had Rozier in a neck brace during the final stretch of last season, sidelined him just as he was making his mark with the Heat.

Rozier joined the Heat in January 2024 after a trade with the Charlotte Hornets that sent Kyle Lowry and a protected first-round pick to Charlotte.

Since arriving in Miami, Rozier has been a consistent starter for the team. He averaged 16.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in 31.5 minutes per game, solidifying his role in the Heat’s backcourt.
