Having entered the season with expectations of either being a side-by-side or relief component for Tyler Herro in Erik Spoelstra’s rotation, it has, instead, been the roughest of rides for Rozier over his 10 seasons. “I think it’s just my style of play hasn’t been the best fit for what we want to do,” Rozier, 31, acknowledged during a private moment prior to Saturday night’s victory over the 76ers that extended the Heat winning streak to four. “So I’m just seeing what works and what cach likes and what fits best for the team, I’ve kind of been fighting.

So it was different. But like I said, I just appreciate everything — the struggles, everything. And hopefully things turn around.” -via Miami Herald / March 17, 2025
