"Terry Rozier wants a "fair shot" to prove himself after last season, and the Miami Heat may not have any other option than to grant him that wish. Unless something significantly changes in the next couple of days, Tyler Herro and Kasparas Jakucionis are both trending to miss the start of the regular season for the Heat. That might be the exact perfect storm that Rozier needs to get that "fair shot" from Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra to earn a spot in the rotation."
"Assuming that the Heat still aren't ready to give Davion Mitchell and Dru Smith a full workload as they continue to work their way back from offseason injuries, there's a real chance that Miami will call on Rozier to fill some sort of role in the rotation to begin the year. This is the opportunity that he could be looking for - and needs."
Injuries to Tyler Herro and Kasparas Jakucionis are trending to keep both out for the start of the regular season, creating pressure on Miami's backcourt depth. If Davion Mitchell and Dru Smith remain limited while rehabbing offseason injuries, Terry Rozier could be called on to fill a rotation role to begin the year. Rozier missed much of the preseason with his own injury but logged 11 minutes in one exhibition, finishing with four points and two rebounds. Availability could become his most valuable asset early on. The Heat's rotation remains a major question mark and Rozier would need to prove he deserves more than a short-term role.
