Hornets' Terry Rozier: Pours in 22 points in return
Rotowire
Rozier (groin) notched 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine assists, one rebound, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 130-117 loss to the Magic.
Rozier returned from a nine-game absence Sunday, but the Hornets didn't exactly ease him back. as he took on heavy minutes and operated as a primary ball handler when LaMelo Ball (ankle) exited the contest early. Though he's been limited to just six appearances this season due to injury, Rozier has been productive when available with averages of 22.0 points, 5.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 three-pointers. His fantasy upside will be even higher if Ball is forced to miss time due to the ankle injury.

Rozier (foot) was a standout during offseason practices, Sam Perley of NBA.com reports.
Head coach Steve Clifford singled out Rozier for his work ethic during Monday's media day, and it's worth noting that the guard arrived in Charlotte a month early to prepare for the season. With LaMelo Ball healthy and running the point, Rozier will shift back to shooting guard, a role he's more familiar with. Rozier was carrying a foot injury at the end of the 2022-23 season, but that should be well behind him now.
