Is Terry Rozier playing tonight against Memphis Grizzlies? Latest on newest Miami Heat star's debut (January 24)

Terry Rozier played his final game with the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was traded to the Miami Heat the next day in exchange for Kyle Lowry and a protected 2027 first-round pick. The pick will become unprotected in 2028 if it doesn't convey.

According to the latest report, Rozier will make his Heat debut tonight against Grizzlies. Earlier he was listed as questionable but now the 29-year-old guard is set to showcase his talents at the Kaseya Center in front of Heat fans.

Rozier is not nursing any injury and was tagged questionable because of his pending trade. Both teams were possibly waiting for medical results and other paperwork for the deal to become official. Lowry is out for the Hornets in their game against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

Terry Rozier injury history

Terry Rozier is not injured for the Miami Heat. He was only listed as questionable because of his pending trade from the Charlotte Hornets.

What does Terry Rozier bring to the Miami Heat?

The acquisition of Terry Rozier from the Charlotte Hornets is another brilliant move by Heat president Pat Riley.

The Heat made the NBA Finals last season with an aging point guard in Kyle Lowry. Riley turned Lowry, who's on an expiring contract, into a player averaging 23.2 points and 6.6 assists this season.

Rozier is just in his second year of a four-year, $96.3 million contract. It's not a bad deal for a player who can score and make plays. He easily fits into the Heat roster with Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. He also seems built to adapt to the famed Heat Culture.
