Could Terry Rozier make an NBA comeback? Former Heat guard requests bond modification ahead of free agency

Article excerpt

Terry Rozier, the former Miami Heat guard, has requested a bond modification as he prepares for NBA free agency following a legal setback. An arbitrator ruled that Rozier must forfeit most of his $26.6 million salary from the 2025-26 season, a significant financial hit that complicates his ability to command a lucrative contract in the open market. The bond modification request suggests Rozier is navigating financial constraints while attempting to rebuild his career. The ruling stems from what appears to be a contractual or legal dispute, though details remain unclear. His free agency prospects now hinge on whether teams will gamble on his talent despite the salary forfeiture.
