Terry Rozier said he’s not fully healthy for 5-on-5, but he’s “doing every on-court activity, playing a bit of three-on-three. But i figure in the next couple of weeks I’ll be graduating to five-on-five.” @IraHeatBeat

What the hell even happened to this man? Off season almost over bruh
Bro it’s *SEPTEMBER*. I know it’s his neck but STILL???
Well he better be ready for the start of the season.
I’ve been saying it since it happened, I’m worried about his NBA future and I don’t buy any of the positivity, nerve issues change and end careers. I’ll believe it when he’s out there in the regular season looking good.
Gg
Neck issue is one of the worst then back. And most problems will be connected to his nervous system:/ so shooting motion will really be affected
Why is this team so doggone unlucky? Rozier was our big move, fairly durable, gets injured before the playoffs even start. Like what? Something about his neck and it’s almost October. This is crazy
Oh wow I thought he would for sure be ready by now.
Still!!!???
This is one of the most heat things ever. Hopefully nothing bad but that’s a long ass time to recover and him still not being 100% is a bit alarming.
NBA players after joining the Heat:
1 first rounder for Terry or 2 for Dejounte Murray. I’ve always kinda felt like we made the wrong choice
What is this?
Ofc the one guy we actually end up making a trade for starts having shit like this. Hope he gets well but super unlucky🤦♂️
This man has to have broken his neck bc what the actual fuck
☹️
It’s too early for this injury shit fam.. like can we do anything healthy on this team…
Run it back
wtf I thought he had already recovered
Annoying but at least it’s not like Christian Wood levels of annoying
With the start of training camp approaching, there’s good news for the Miami Heat.
Heat guard Terry Rozier (neck) and forward Nikola Jovic (foot and ankle) both expect to be ready to take part in training camp after dealing with injuries in recent months. The Heat will hold media day on Sept. 30 at Kaseya Center in Miami before opening training camp at Baha Mar in the Bahamas on Oct. 1.
But Rozier and Jovic are also still working through the latter stages of the recovery process as training camp approaches.
“Where I’m at right now is just about fully, fully, fully cleared to play 5-on-5,” Rozier said during a conference call with local reporters on Wednesday. “But I am doing every on-court activity, playing a little bit of 3-on-3. So I figure in the next couple weeks, I’ll be graduating to 5-on-5. I feel great.”
Jovic said during a conference call Wednesday: “I would say I’m almost fully healthy. Of course, there’s a little ligament that still has to be 100 percent. They told me it would take a little bit more time, but it shouldn’t be an issue. Basically I’m 100 percent.”
Rozier said to reporters in July that he was already cleared to resume basketball activity, but it has been a slow ramp-up process since then. The hope is that he’ll begin playing 5-on-5 basketball next week just two weeks before training camp.
“I’m a gamer, I’m a hooper,” Rozier said. “I think getting my wind up is the most important thing. But once we all come into camp together, just getting that full camp together is the most important thing. Not me trying to learn how to play five on five again, I’ll be fine. I think it’s just me getting with the other guys and getting on that level so we can play the right way, play together.”
Jovic, who won a bronze medal this summer with Serbia at the Paris Olympics, almost didn’t play in the Olympics because of his injury. He spent much of the Paris Games working his way back to form after sustaining a left ankle and foot injury in June during an offseason workout in Miami.
“I had a little fracture,” Jovic said. “It was not just a normal sprained ankle, it was a little fracture that I had. I did the MRIs and everything, at that point they weren’t sure if I was going to make it in the Olympics. But my biggest goal was to just be there and be with the team and help them as much as I can and play.
“We flew to Paris and I knew I was not in great shape because I hadn’t played in awhile. My foot maybe wasn’t ready for a big role and we knew all that, and coach understands everything. But he still wanted me to go, he still believed I could help as much as I can and that’s what I did.”
Jovic, who also was used as a starter in each of the Heat’s five playoff games last season, is now battling tendinitis as he continues to move closer to full health.
“We’re making sure that my foot is good after every practice because the injury I had is of course not a joke and we really don’t want any new problems with it,” Jovic said of his offseason work in Miami since the end of the Olympics. “So during training camp, I wouldn’t say I’m going to sit down or anything, but of course you just want to make sure that everything is good. If something starts hurting by any chance, I’ll probably need to step away. But I don’t think that will be the case and I’m really looking forward to being 100 percent and giving everything I have.”
