Heat Expected To Open Camp With Terry Rozier on Roster

Limited interest plus a buyout refusal leave waiving as an expensive last resort.

Overview

  • Reporting from The Miami Herald indicates Rozier is expected to participate when Miami opens training camp Tuesday at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
  • The team explored options regarding his contract and held trade discussions over the offseason, yet league sources say the plan is to begin camp with him on the roster barring something unforeseen.
  • ClutchPoints reporting says Miami recently weighed cutting ties, but a weak trade market and Rozier’s stance against a buyout narrow the options.
  • Waiving Rozier would place roughly $26.6 million in dead money on the books, according to ClutchPointsBrett Siegel.
  • Rozier’s market has been depressed by a down year (10.6 ppg on 39.1% shooting, 29.5% from three) and his linkage in reports to a federal sports-betting probe, while Tyler Herro’s eight-week ankle recovery could create early-season minutes and Precious Achiuwa joins the rotation.
