Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics.
Rozier will miss a 10th straight game due to a neck strain. Coach Erik Spoelstra said Sunday morning that he doesn't know if Rozier will play in the opening-round series. "[Rozier] is day-to-day. When it changes, I'll let you know," Spoelstra added, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Delon Wright (personal) is probable after being absent for Saturday's Game 3 loss and should help soak up some of Rozier's missing minutes.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Won't suit up Wednesday
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Celtics, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier will now miss his eighth straight game, and it is unclear whether the team will look to rush him back for the remainder of the series without Jimmy Butler (knee). The 30-year-old is considered week-to-week and against the Celtics, so it would not come as a surprise for Rozier to miss the entirety of the series. With Rozier out, Delon Wright, Duncan Robinson and Patty Mills are all likely candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Considered week-to-week
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) is not considered healthy enough to return for Game 1 of the Heat's opening-round series versus the Celtics on Sunday and is considered week-to-week, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Fortunately, Rozier's neck injury is not considered career threatening, but he is expected to miss more time. With Jimmy Butler (knee) also sidelined for the immediate future, Tyler Herro figures to be the primary beneficiary of Rozier's absence from an offensive workload perspective. The likes of Delon Wright, Patty Mills, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez also figure to benefit in some fashion. The possibility of a playoff sighting for Rozier will presumably depend on how long the Heat can stay afloat against the daunting Celtics.
Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Rozier, who will miss a sixth straight contest, has been diagnosed with a neck sprain rather than neck spasms, so it seems the injury is more severe than initially expected. The loss of Rozier has been tough for the Heat, and it's translated into a higher usage rate for Tyler Herro and more minutes for Delon Wright.
Rozier (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Play-In Game against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Rozier missed the final four games of the regular season due to neck spasms and will remain sidelined for the beginning of postseason play. Caleb Martin has been starting at shooting guard recently, but Duncan Robinson (back) is expected to be available following a four-game absence of his own, so it's unclear who'll share the backcourt with Tyler Herro.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Considered questionable
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Rozier tried to play through the neck issue Sunday but scored just four points (2-7 FG) in 22 minutes during a loss to Indiana and was sidelined for Tuesday's win over Atlanta. With Duncan Robinson (back) unlikely to play, Rozier's availability becomes key, though Tyler Herro's recent return has provided a boost to Miami's backcourt.

Rotowire

After being downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier in the day, Rozier has been officially ruled out and will miss Tuesday's contest against the Hawks.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Officially a game-time decision
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Rozier did not participate in the team's morning shootaround prior to Tuesday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff, and he expressed that he wants to be cautious with his neck spasms given that Miami closes a back-to-back Wednesday versus Dallas.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Rozier is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Atlanta due to neck spasms.
Rozier was able to play through his neck issue in Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Pacers, but he struggled to the tune of four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four assists and two steals in just 22 minutes. The injury isn't yet behind him, and because Tuesday marks the front end of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising if Rozier sat out.

Heat's Terry Rozier: Will start Sunday
Rotowire
Rozier (neck) is available and will start Sunday's game against the Pacers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Rozier was a late addition to the injury report Sunday morning due to neck stiffness but will ultimately play through the issue. He's appeared in 20 straight games and has averaged 18.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.9 minutes during that stretch. However, Tyler Herro's recent return will likely mean less usage for Rozier moving forward.
