No Injury Designation For Terry Rozier
4 months agoCharlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (knee) is not listed on the team's injury report on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 7-20 Hornets stayed competitive with the defending-champion Denver Nuggets despite a nine-point third quarter on Saturday, but they'll be glad to get their interim top ball handler back in the fold from soreness in his right knee while LaMelo Ball (ankle) is still on the mend. Since a nine-game absence from Nov. 5 to Nov. 22, Rozier has strung together a very strong stretch of play with averages of 23.7 points (46.3% field-goal shooting), 8.0 assists, 3.0 treys, and 1.5 steals in 35.5 minutes over his last 12 showings after struggling mightily for efficiency last season without Ball. Journeyman Ish Smith handed out eight dimes during a 26-minute spot start on Saturday but should head back to irrelevance on Tuesday, while Miles Bridges won't have as much of a green light to fire away (2-for-12 from deep Saturday).
