The Miami Heat acquired former Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier on January 23. With the Heat about to face the Celtics on January 25, Jaylen Brown gave his thoughts on his former teammate joining Boston’s rival.
“I think Terry is already a native of Miami, so I think it definitely made sense,” Brown joked with reporters, per Celtics on NBC Sports Boston’s X account. “So I’m happy for him. He kind of fits in (to what) their culture represents…Tough, competitor, physical, and that type of mindset. Playoff experience, I think it goes a long way.”
Brown then elaborated on what Rozier brings to the Heat.
“I think they get better for sure. Terry’s athleticism, playoff experience, all that type of stuff, I think he’ll fit right in.”
Brown and Rozier played on the Celtics together for three years from 2016 to 2019. In their time together, they made two Eastern Conference Finals appearances and won at least one playoff series in those three years.
Rozier has not played in the playoffs since leaving the Celtics, but with Miami’s title aspirations, his postseason return may be on the horizon.
