Terry Rozier Expected in Heat Training Camp Despite Trade Efforts, Key Role Anticipated

Terry Rozier is expected to attend Miami Heat training camp, set to open next Tuesday, despite the team's offseason attempts to trade him. His $26.6 million contract, with $24.9 million guaranteed, and inefficient performance last season (10.6 points, 29.5% from three, 49.7% true shooting) deterred potential suitors, and buyout talks failed. With All-Star guard Tyler Herro sidelined by foot surgery, Rozier is now slated for a key rotation role, with Norman Powell moving into the starting backcourt. The Heat remain open to trading Rozier during the season if he demonstrates improved contribution.
