Heat to Open Training Camp With Terry Rozier as Team Evaluates Next Steps

The team lacks a viable trade or buyout path, leaving participation in camp the practical next step.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Miami plans to have Rozier on the court when camp begins next week at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
  • Internal talks explored trades and a buyout, but league chatter points to no real market and buyout discussions that stalled.
  • If Miami cuts ties, waiving Rozier would likely leave about $26.6 million as dead salary, with a stretch option reducing the hit to roughly $8.9 million annually over three years.
  • Rozier remains under a federal investigation into unusual betting activity from 2023, with the NBA saying it found no rules violations and is cooperating with U.S. authorities.
  • Coming off a down season at 10.6 points on 39.1% shooting and 29.5% from three, Rozier could see early minutes while Tyler Herro recovers from ankle surgery.
