Terry Rozier Sidelined For Ninth Game In A Row
5 months agoCharlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (groin) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Washington Wizards. Rozier's absence due to a left groin strain will drag on for a ninth straight game, as Charlotte's five-game homestand reaches a conclusion on Wednesday against the reeling Wizards. The 29-year-old star playmaker is off to a rough start from downtown (25.8%) but is averaging 22.0 points, 5.0 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 35.8 minutes over five games. He'll aim to return on Sunday against the Orlando Magic. Head coach Steve Clifford has more or less tightened his rotation without Rozier and since Miles Bridges' reinstatement, leaving Rozier's leftover usage to be spread around and the bulk of the ball-handling duties to superstar LaMelo Ball. Ball is averaging 32.0 points, 8.1 assists, 6.5 rebounds, and 4.4 treys in eight games sans Rozier.
