Rozier isn't starting in Friday's game against the Nuggets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
After starting in Miami's previous seven games, Rozier will cede his spot in the first unit to sharpshooter Duncan Robinson on Friday. Over his last six games, Rozier is averaging 10.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 threes in 30.5 minutes, but the veteran guard's minutes could take a slight dip against Denver.

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.

Over his last five outings, Rozier has averaged 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 30.0 minutes per game.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Suspended for one game
Rotowire
The NBA suspended Rozier on Tuesday for one game without pay for his involvement in an on-court altercation during Sunday's game against the Heat.
After Tyler Herro leaned into Amen Thompson during the fourth quarter of the Heat's 104-100 win Sunday, Thompson grabbed Herro by the jersey and threw him to the floor, resulting in a multi-player altercation. Thompson, Herro, Rozier and Jalen Green were all ejected from the game, but only Thompson and Rozier received suspensions, with the former forced to miss two games. Rozier's next chance to suit up will come Thursday versus Indiana. In his absence, Alec Burks and Jaime Jaquez are candidates for increased roles.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
Rozier is probable for Monday's game against the Nets with left knee inflammation.

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.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Mixed results in OT loss
Rotowire
Rozier logged 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Pistons.
Rozier dished out his most assists since dropping a season-high seven dimes against the Knicks on Oct. 30. However, it's been mixed results for the veteran guard since he moved to the bench. Over 10 straight games as a reserve, Rozier has averaged 10.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.0 minutes per game. The Heat are 6-4 during that stretch.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Gathers season-high nine rebounds
Rotowire
Rozier produced 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 122-113 win over Cleveland.
Coming off a scoreless outing in 16 minutes during Saturday's win over the Suns, Rozier provided a lift with 14 points off the bench and crashed the boards for a season-high nine rebounds Sunday. In his last eight games since moving to the second unit, the veteran guard is averaging a modest 10.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 23.8 minutes per contest. Rozier is sinking 42.9 percent of his threes during this stretch, so the move to the bench appears to have aided his efficiency following a slow start the season; however, his counting stats will likely continue to take a hit with the decreased playing time.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Posts 17 points from bench
Rotowire
Rozier finished Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Raptors with 17 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and five assists across 29 minutes.
The Heat are choosing to continue with a backcourt of Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson, but it's hard to stem Rozier's flow of production as the first guard off the bench. He lost the starting gig after a two-game injury absence, and it's unclear if the Heat will revert to a scheme where Rozier returns and Herro slides back to his customary role as shooting guard. Miami has gone an even 2-2 in the current scenario.
