It’s been a long time in the making. Former Louisville basketball guard and emerging NBA star Terry Rozier is finally getting paid.
According to a number of sources, Rozier will sign with the Charlotte Hornets for the 2019-20 season for three-years and $58 million via a sign-and-trade deal.
Rozier was a valuable asset for a Boston Celtics team that was consistently among the top five teams in the Eastern Conference during his four years with the team.
Rozier only started 30 games during his time with the Celtics, however, he averaged over 23 minutes per game in his last two seasons, and was a huge asset during a deep playoff run in which he started in place of veteran guard Kyrie Irving in 2018.
