The Charlotte Hornets acquired former Louisville guard Terry Rozier III in a sign-and-trade agreement with the Boston Celtics. This transaction saw longtime Hornets star Kemba Walker depart for Boston. Rozier III, originally the 16th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, had a significant tenure with the Hornets.
During his four-and-a-half seasons in Charlotte, Rozier III started all 298 games he played. He averaged an impressive 20 points per contest, alongside 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds. He later played 95 games for the Miami Heat.
As of the 2026-27 NBA season, Rozier III, now 32, has not participated in any games. This absence stems from an ongoing illegal sports betting scandal. Across his 10 NBA seasons, Rozier III holds career averages of 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists.
