Rozier (foot), who is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Mavericks, participated in Friday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Rozier said Thursday that he underwent an MRI on his right foot that came back clean, and he was able to participate in Friday's practice. The 30-year-old missed Monday's win over Philadelphia due to the foot injury, and in his last five outings he has averaged 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals across 31.4 minutes per game.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Rozier said Thursday that an MRI on his right foot came back clean and he expects to return to practice Friday as well as play in Sunday's game versus the Mavericks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier missed Miami's last contest due to right foot discomfort but appears to have avoided a serious injury. If the 30-year-old guard is able to suit up against Dallas, he will likely reclaim his starting spot from Duncan Robinson.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Ruled out for Monday
Rotowire
Rozier will not play Monday against the 76ers due to right foot discomfort.
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Heat may be holding him out for precautionary reasons. However, Rozier has been ice cold in November with a 35.3 percent shooting mark, so this injury could be a reason for his struggles. Fortunately for Miami, Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been cleared to return for Monday's game following a four-game absence.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Held to nine points
Rotowire
Rozier racked up nine points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Sunday's 119-110 loss to the Pacers.
Rozier's cold streak continued Sunday as his shot eluded him once again. November has not been his month, as he's shooting 35.3 percent from the field and 25.6 percent from beyond the arc in his last eight games. His counting stats have suffered too, as he's averaging 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in that span.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Endures off-night as shooter
Rotowire
Rozier amassed seven points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.
Rozier couldn't get the lid off the basket, but he was able to contribute in other facets. He tied for the second-most rebounds on the team and was one of three Heat players to accrue at least five assists. Additionally, Rozier finished with a team-high plus-11 plus-minus. Through seven games, Rozier is averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 32.1 minutes.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Scores 16 points with 14 shots
Rotowire
Rozier had 16 points (5-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Knicks.
Rozier didn't have his best shooting performance, and this 16-point mark was his lowest mark of the season, but that shouldn't undermine the strong start the veteran floor general is having. Through four games, Rozier is averaging 18.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest while shooting 42.4 percent from deep.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Strong start continues in win
Rotowire
Rozier finished Monday's 106-98 win over Detroit with 20 points (7-16 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes.
Rozier scored a season-high 20 points, continuing his promising start to the season. Across the first three games, he is averaging 19.3 points per game, adding 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.3 three-pointers. There is room to improve on the defensive end, where he is currently delivering just 0.3 steals per contest. Rozier was typically available in the 100 range during drafts, a position that looks as though could end up being a bargain.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Leads team with 19 points
Rotowire
Rozier finished with 19 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 116-97 loss to Orlando.
Rozier joined the Heat before the trade deadline last season and made an immediate impact. He enters his 10th NBA season as the Heat's answer to replace Kyle Lowry, who was traded to the Sixers. Rozier is an upgrade from the aging Lowry. Scary Terry is poised to thrive alongside Tyler Herro in the backcourt and should flash much of the production he displayed during his tenures with Charlotte and Boston.

Rotowire
Rozier finished with 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 17 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason win over the Pelicans.

The 30-year-old is set to serve as the club's starting point guard once again, and he is expected to be locked into that spot with Alec Burks (rest) coming off the bench.

Rotowire
Rozier (neck) has been fully cleared to play this summer, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reported Tuesday.

Rotowire
Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Rozier will miss an 11th straight game due to a neck strain. Jimmy Butler (knee) and Jaime Jaquez (hip) are also out for the potential elimination game, so Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Kevin Love and Duncan Robinson are all candidates for increased roles.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Remains out, day-to-day
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.
Rozier will miss a 10th straight game due to a neck strain. Coach Erik Spoelstra said Sunday morning that he doesn't know if Rozier will play in the opening-round series. "[Rozier] is day-to-day. When it changes, I'll let you know," Spoelstra added, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Delon Wright (personal) is probable after being absent for Saturday's Game 3 loss and should help soak up some of Rozier's missing minutes.

Rotowire
Rozier (neck) won't play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.
Rozier's absence streak will extend to nine games Saturday due to neck spasms. With Delon Wright (personal) questionable, Patty Mills could receive his first minutes of the series against Boston. Rozier's next chance to suit up is Game 4 on Monday.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Won't suit up Wednesday
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier will now miss his eighth straight game, and it is unclear whether the team will look to rush him back for the remainder of the series without Jimmy Butler (knee). The 30-year-old is considered week-to-week and against the Celtics, so it would not come as a surprise for Rozier to miss the entirety of the series. With Rozier out, Delon Wright, Duncan Robinson and Patty Mills are all likely candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Remains out for Friday
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Rozier, who will miss a sixth straight contest, has been diagnosed with a neck sprain rather than neck spasms, so it seems the injury is more severe than initially expected. The loss of Rozier has been tough for the Heat, and it's translated into a higher usage rate for Tyler Herro and more minutes for Delon Wright.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
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.
