Do you think the mental aspect – your headspace – is the most overlooked part of adapting to a new role? Terry Rozier: For sure, some people are not gonna say they do, but I think we all do. We’re humans, it’s part of it. You know, you want the best for yourself. You wanna come out there and show the fans why this trade happened and stuff like that. And, I haven’t proven myself this year, but I’m a strong believer in the fact that things will turn around and I know it will.

More on this storyline
You’ve dealt with being traded and the outside noise from the media before in your career. How have you learned to tune it out and stay focused? Terry Rozier: You just don’t give a f**k. I mean, at the end of the day, I was told that you’re never gonna be as good as they say you are. You’re never gonna be as bad as they say you are. So, you shouldn’t listen to no noise, period. I’ve been struggling, it ain’t no secret. I want myself to play better than anybody does. So, it’s just a matter of time. Like I said, I’m a strong believer that things will turn around. The man above, he’s already blessed me with everything. So, just keep grinding, keep working at it, and it should turn around. -via HoopsHype / January 24, 2025
After years of being ball-dominant with the green light, how has the transition to coming off the bench been for you? Terry Rozier: It’s been great. It’s been great. Just another thing that I have had to overcome. It’s a part, it’s been part of my life. Just having to adjust to stuff around me. But I have no complaints. I’m blessed. I’m playing, I’m in the NBA, doing what I love, my dream job. I will figure it out and help this team. -via HoopsHype / January 24, 2025
While Rozier makes clear he’s happy doing whatever is asked of him, he conceded: “We all want to start in this league. Nobody wants to be a starter and go to the bench no matter what they say. I’m happy being in the starting lineup. It might not be [permanent]; you never know.” Spoelstra is still hoping the Tyler Herro/Rozier backcourt can reach what he believes is a high potential. Herro has done his part. “Their speed and their skill level is always top of the list” of why Spoelstra maintains that this backcourt can work. “They will get comfortable now on this road trip, figuring it out, figuring what the coverages are. Most teams are playing an aggressive coverage against Tyler. Most teams are either dropping or switching against Terry. Getting both of them on the move is beneficial to us regardless of what that scheme is.” -via Miami Herald / January 11, 2025
