TERRY ROZIER NEWS

Another tough shooting night Rozier totaled 22 points (8-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 43 minutes during Thursday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Heat.

Impact Rozier suffered through another rough night on the offensive end, and he's now 32-for-92 (34.8 percent) from the field in four games since returning from an ankle injury. This obviously hasn't had an impact on his confidence, as he's attempted 20 or more shots in each of those matchups. Rozier's scoring totals haven't suffered much despite a string of ugly performances, with the guard averaging 21.0 points in four November contests.

Struggles from field in loss Rozier recorded 18 points (6-20 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes in Wednesday's 105-95 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Rozier got off to a decent start in the first quarter to help the Hornets jump out to a 30-25 lead, connecting on two of four shots for five points, while also dishing out three assists in the period. He did not fare so well in the second half, going just 3-of-13 from the field, including 1-of-7 in the fourth quarter as the Hornets scored just 16 points in the final period to take their sixth-straight loss. Rozier has now failed to reach 20 points in each of his last two games after hitting that mark in each of his first three to begin the season.

Productive against Wizards Rozier registered 19 points (9-23 FG, 1-9 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 108-100 loss to the Wizards.

Impact In his second game back from an ankle injury and on the second night of a back-to-back, Rozier delivered solid numbers and handled his usual workload, so it appears as though he's 100 percent healthy. The veteran guard should continue to see elevated usage as long as LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains sidelined.

Leads with 25 points in return Rozier chipped in 25 points (9-24 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 98-94 loss to the Nets.

Impact Rozier returned to the Hornets' lineup on Saturday after missing the team's last seven games with an ankle injury and recorded his highest scoring output of the season with 25 points, which also led the team. The Hornets guard connected six three pointers in the game, including two in the fourth quarter, though his effort would fall short as the Hornets coughed up the lead and suffered their fourth loss in a row. Rozier will look to help get Charlotte back on track at home against the Wizards on Monday.

Will start, no minutes restriction Rozier (ankle) will start Saturday against the Nets and won't face a minutes restriction, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Impact Rozier worked as point guard for the Hornets to open the season with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined, but Dennis Smith has performed well in the seven games since Rozier suffered an ankle injury against the Pelicans. While it remains to be seen how the Hornets will adjust the lineup, Jaden McDaniels and Smith would be the likely candidates to shift out of the unit.

Will play Saturday Rozier (ankle) will return to action Saturday versus the Nets.

Impact Rozier operated as the starting point guard for the Hornets to open the season with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined, but Dennis Smith has performed well in the seven games since Rozier suffered an ankle injury against the Pelicans. It remains to be seen what effect that will have on starting lineup decisions Saturday, and it's unclear if Rozier will have any limitations after missing multiple weeks. Jaden McDaniels may be the most likely option to move to the bench if Rozier inserted in the starting five.

Officially questionable Rozier (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Nets, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Rozier has been doubtful for the Hornets' previous seven games, so his questionable designation is cause for optimism. Still, his final status will presumably be determined by how he feels closer to tip-off. With LaMelo Ball (ankle), Caleb Martin (quad) and Gordon Hayward (shoulder) all out again, Dennis Smith, Kelly Oubre, James Bouknight and Jalen McDaniels would all be in line for relatively heavy workloads should Rozier ultimately miss another game.

Impact Rozier was already termed doubtful leading up to the contest, so the downgrade to out hardly comes as a surprise. This has been the process for the Hornets regarding Rozier for a while now, so it will be more notable when Rozier gets an upgrade on the injury report to questionable or better. His next chance to play arrives Friday in Memphis.

Termed doubtful for Wednesday Rozier (ankle) is labeled doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls, Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Rozier's ankle issue suffered Oct. 21 against the Pelicans has now kept him out more than a week, leaving the Hornets down both of their top two options to start at point guard. Dennis Smith has been operating in that role of late and should remain the starter Wednesday, assuming Rozier sits.

Officially out Saturday Rozier (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game versus Golden State.

Impact Rozier was already listed as doubtful for the contest, so his downgrade to out leading up to the tilt isn't surprising. Look for Dennis Smith to continue operating as the primary point guard with Rozier and LaMelo Ball (ankle) out, while Kelly Oubre and Gordon Hayward will likely be relied on for more scoring.
