Terry Rozier was a phenomenal high school basketball player. He first attended Shaker Heights High School in Shaker Heights, Ohio. In his senior season, Rozier carried Shaker Heights to a 21-3 record while tallying 25.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 4.7 steals per game. You heard that right, 4.7 steals. His fantastic season helped his team reach the regional semifinals and also warranted Rozier to be named an All-Lake Erie League selection for the third straight year. Rozier was then ranked 74th overall in his recruiting class. 

However, Rozier could not immediately go to Louisville following his senior season. Although his basketball play was up to par, his academic grades were not. In order to improve his grades before heading off to Louisville, Rozier played at Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Virginia. He averaged 29.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game while leading the team to a 38-8 record.

After the unplanned extra season before college, Terry Rozier was finally able to play for the University of Louisville Cardinals in 2013. In his freshman year, Rozier averaged 7 points and 3.1 rebounds per game. This was enough to name him to the AAC All-Rookie Team. Rozier showed massive improvement the following year, where he had a larger role for the Cardinals. In the 2014-15 season, Rozier poured in 17.1 points per game and was named second-team All-ACC. After two short seasons as a Cardinal, Rozier joined his teammate Monterzl Harrell in declaring for the 2015 NBA Draft. 

The Boston Celtics drafted Terry Rozier with the 16th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft on June 25, 2015. One month later, Rozier signed his rookie contract with the Celtics. His rookie campaign started off slow. As he spent multiple tenures with the Boston Celtics D-League affiliate, Maine Red Claws. Rozier played in 39 total regular-season games for the Celtics in the 105-16 season, only managing to muster a season-high of 7 points on two separate occasions.

The 2016-17 NBA season also was subpar for Rozier, as he only managed to have a season-high of 16 points in a win over the Orlando Magic on December 7. Rozier’s highlight of his second year was his first career double-double against the Philadelphia 76ers on March 19, 2017.

The 2017-18 season was Terry’s breakout year. His sudden emergence helped him earn the nickname “Scary Terry." On January 31, 2018, Rozier tallied his first career triple-double against the New York Knicks in his first game as a starter. This was a sign of things to come for Rozier, as he scored 31 points just two days later on the Atlanta Hawks. With Kyrie Irving sidelined with an injury, Rozier took full advantage of his opportunity. On March 25, he poured in 33 points in a win over the Sacramento Kings. Rozier continued his scoring barrage into the playoffs, tallying 23 points in Game 2 and 26 points in game 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He followed that up with a 29 point game against the 76ers, and a 28 point performance in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The next year, 2018-19 Rozier began to become frustrated with his role. He went from dominating the playoffs in his starting role, to back into his old role of coming off the bench. However, Rozier continued to ball, becoming the first Boston Celtics player since Paul Pierce to score 20 or more points in a half on perfect shooting. Rozier did so by scoring 22 points on the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first half of their January 23 meeting. 

The Boston Celtics decided to part ways with Rozier on July 6, 2019, sending him to the Charlotte Hornets in a sign-and-trade deal centered around Kemba Walker. Rozier has set a new career-high in points with a 40 point barrage against the Atlanta Hawks on March 8, 2020.
