Why is Terry Rozier not playing tonight against the Sacramento Kings?

Terry Rozier has been ruled out by the Miami Heat on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings. Rozier will miss his fourth straight game due to a knee injury suffered before the NBA All-Star break. He was the Heat’s top acquisition before the trade deadline.

According to the Heat’s latest injury report, Rozier continues to deal with a right knee sprain. He suffered the injury on Feb. 11 against his former team, the Boston Celtics. He underwent an MRI later and was lucky to not suffer any serious damage to his right knee.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that Rozier will be evaluated every week before he gets cleared to return. He’s entering the third week since suffering injury, with the Heat already without players such as Josh Richardson and Tyler Herro due to shoulder and knee injuries, respectively.
