Heat's Rozier ruled out for Game 2 vs. Cavs: ‘I'm super frustrated'
CLEVELAND — Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was on crutches and in a walking boot Tuesday, declared out for Wednesday night's Game 2 with the sprained left ankle suffered during Monday's optional practice.
'I just went to attack the basket and Niko (Nikola Jovic) tried to block it and I just came down wrong, sprained my ankle,' Rozier said.

As it is, Rozier has been out of the rotation.
'I'm super frustrated,' Rozier said of adding the injury to the mix. 'But God always has his plans, works in mysterious ways. So it's just staying with it and I still get to watch my guys hoop. So that's the most important thing to me.'
Rozier said there was no need for an MRI.
'It's day to day,' he said. 'It's already getting better, so hopefully it continues to get better.'
Other than veteran big man Kevin Love, who is away from the team due to personal reasons, the remainder of the Heat playoff roster is available for Game 2 in Cleveland.
Game 3 is at 1 p.m. Saturday in the first of two at Kaseya Center in Miami.

Jay-Z places $1 million NBA Finals bet on Thunder and it immediately blows up in his face
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Music Mogul Jay-Z may have gone from rags to riches and back to rags again. The world-renowned artist placed one of the biggest bets of the year Thursday, wagering $1 million at the platform he is invested in, Fanatics Sportsbook, on the Thunder to defeat the Pacers in the NBA Finals in five games (4-1). The $1 million wager would profit $2.3 million if it were to happen, although the likelihood of that occurring now is bleak after Oklahoma City blew a double-digit lead and lost Game 1, 111-110. Jay-Z invested $350 million of his own money into Fanatics in 2021. The Thunder now have to win four straight games to win the NBA Finals in five games, something that Fanatics is still giving rather generous +310 odds to happen. Such an outcome — losing Game 1 then winning the next four — has happened only three times since 1990 and only twice when the home team dropped the first contest. The 1991 Bulls accomplished the feat against the Magic Johnson-led Lakers, while Kobe Bryant and the Lakers did so against the Allen Iverson 76ers in 2001. Shai-Gilgeous Alexander and the Thunder have their work cut out for them. NBAE via Getty Images Both champions lost Game 1 at home before rebounding. The feat hasn't happened since the 2012 Miami Heat defeated the Thunder, and has only happened six times in NBA history since 1953. Betting on the NBA? This is all to say, Jay-Z has 99 Problems and the Oklahoma City Thunder could certainly be one. Oklahoma City is currently a massive Game 2 favorite, opening as a massive 11-point favorite. Why Trust New York Post Betting Erich Richter is a brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt but he has a black belt in MMA betting. During the football season he's showcased massive profits at The Post in the player prop market the last two seasons. While constantly betting long shots, his return on investment is 30.15 percent since 2022.

Keshad Johnson has more to prove to Heat this offseason after rookie year of development
After going undrafted last year, forward Keshad Johnson did enough last summer to earn a spot on this past season's Miami Heat roster. Now, Johnson is hoping he did enough this past season to return to the Heat's roster next season. The Heat has a few weeks to make a decision on Johnson's status, as he has a $2 million team option in his contract for this upcoming season. The Heat has until June 29 to decide on that team option, with Johnson becoming an unrestricted free agent if Miami chooses to bypass the option. 'I feel like I've grown mentally,' Johnson said of the steps forward he took as a rookie this past season. 'I've learned a lot about basketball, Xs and Os. Just being in the NBA, at first it started off fast. But it started to slow down as time got going. Just getting comfortable. Skill-wise, I feel like the mental aspect of learning cheat codes and things like that.' Johnson's rookie season turned into a developmental season after going undrafted out of Arizona last year. Johnson impressed in the G League with averages of 17.6 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game with the Heat's developmental affiliate (the Sioux Falls Skyforce) this past season. But Johnson's NBA playing time with the Heat was limited, appearing in just 16 NBA games as a rookie this past regular season. He logged double-digit minutes in only three of those 16 NBA regular-season appearances. 'The biggest challenge is just staying ready, always staying ready,' said Johnson, who turns 24 on June 23. 'Human nature tells you to relax and things like that. So trying to stay disciplined, always staying ready for my opportunity, being ready to go from zero to 100. Not playing here and playing 100 there in the G League and everything like that. So that has just been a challenge. I pretty much feel like I've excelled in doing that.' Johnson (6-foot-7 and 225 pounds) projects to be a physical and athletic three-and-D forward who fits the Heat's switching defense because of his versatility on that end of the court. As part of the Heat's developmental plan for Johnson, he was used as a small-ball center for extended stretches in the G League this past season. 'I fit in with just the heart aspect of Heat culture,' Johnson said when asked how he fits the Heat's defensive scheme. 'Everybody out here is able to make winning plays. I can fit right in making winning plays along with everybody else.' While the Heat has a decision to make on Johnson's future with the team this month, the expectation is he will be part of the organization's summer league team for the second straight year. Johnson helped the Heat win the Las Vegas Summer League championship last year. 'It's just always good learning how the business works, learning how to keep your mental right, learning how to expect the unexpected and things of that nature,' Johnson said of his rookie season. 'Going back down [to the G League], staying ready, it all builds character. So I feel like my character has grown a lot, starting on a two-way and also getting a contract. I feel like this year has tested my character a lot.' Johnson started this past season on a two-way contract before being promoted to a standard deal this past December. Johnson will soon find out if the Heat wants to continue its investment in him next season. 'They wouldn't do that if they didn't believe in me,' Johnson said of his mid-season promotion to a standard contract. 'So I just got to prove them right. Prove that I'm worthwhile and I can impact the game and help the team in any way I can.' SUMMER CAMP Jr. HEAT Summer Camp begins the week of June 9 at two different locations (S.L.A.M. Miami High School and Cooper City High School) for boys and girls ages 7-17 of all abilities and skill levels. 'Our camps focus on both improving individual basketball skills and off the court character development,' the Heat's description of the camp reads. 'Campers will participate in a variety of competitions, fundamental drills, and games. .... One day out of the week, we get a current Heat player or Heat Legend to visit camp, take pictures and sign autographs with the kids. Lunch is included and the campers will receive giveaways daily.' Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. will visit the camp at Slam Miami High School and Cooper City High School during the week of June 9. Registration for Jr. HEAT Summer Camp can be found at

How original Paul George trade between OKC Thunder, Pacers created unlikely NBA Finals
The Paul George Invitational, also known as the 2025 NBA Finals, is set. Thunder vs. Pacers — two teams that wouldn't be here if it weren't for Playoff P and his westward ambitions. George ultimately got his wish, landing in Los Angeles after asking out of Indiana and then Oklahoma City, and in the wake of his exits, the Thunder and Pacers chartered unique courses in becoming unlikely Finals foes. Advertisement How did we get here? Let's rewind 15 years to draft night 2010. John Wall, Evan Turner and Derrick Favors were the top-three picks. Edmond Santa Fe's Ekpe Udoh went sixth. Putnam City's Xavier Henry went 12th. The Thunder traded up to the 11th pick, which it used to select Kansas big man Cole Aldrich. The pick before Aldrich? The Pacers drafted Paul George, the forward out of Fresno State. Among the 60 players selected that night, George, now a 76er, is the only one still playing. In a redraft, George would be the easy No. 1 pick. More: How did OKC Thunder get back to NBA Finals? Timeline from Paul George trade to now Advertisement In 2012, when Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden led the Thunder to the NBA Finals, George was a second-year player on a Pacers team that lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals — the Heat team that would then top the Thunder. George was an All-Star by Year 3. He led the Pacers to back-to-back East finals appearances in 2013 and 2014. In the summer of 2017, after his seventh season in Indiana, George told the Pacers that he would not re-sign with the team as a free agent in the summer of 2018. That his preference was to sign with the Lakers the following summer. Less than two weeks later, George was on the move … to Oklahoma City. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was amid summer workouts at Kentucky. Tyrese Haliburton was a rising senior at Oshkosh (Wisconsin) North High School. The ripples of the trade had not yet reached them. Advertisement To Indiana, the Thunder sent fourth-year guard Victor Oladipo and center Domantas Sabonis, the 11th pick in the 2016 draft who had just finished his rookie season in OKC. The Thunder, a year earlier, had acquired Oladipo and the pick that became Sabonis from the Magic in exchange for Serge Ibaka. Thunder general manager Sam Presti had essentially swapped Ibaka for a four-time All-Star in George. One year after Kevin Durant bolted from Bricktown to The Bay, Presti had brought in another star to pair with Russell Westbrook, the reigning MVP. There was risk in acquiring George, who had one year left on his contract, but if all went according to plan, the reward was far greater. Ideally, George's arrival would convince Westbrook to re-up with the Thunder, with Westbrook in turn persuading George to do the same. And that's exactly what happened. A year after the Thunder traded for him, George agreed to a four-year deal with the Thunder, leaving the Lakers hanging. George was an All-Star in two seasons with the Thunder — both of which ended in disappointing first-round playoff exits. 'That's a bad shot.' George finished third in MVP voting in 2018-19. Advertisement Oladipo was a breakout star in Indianapolis. He made third-team All-NBA in 2017-18 and was named the league's Most Improved Player. He repeated as an All-Star the next season — his two All-Star appearances coinciding with his first two seasons as a Pacer. Sabonis finished second in Sixth Man of the Year voting in 2018-19, his second season with the Pacers. By 2019-20, Sabonis was an All-Star. NBA Finals 2025: OKC Thunder vs Indiana Pacers matchup breakdown. Who has the edge? The Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2) watches his basket fall as the Clippers' Paul George (13) defends at Paycom Center on Dec. 21, 2023. George was traded to Los Angeles after two seasons with the Thunder, landing SGA in Oklahoma City. Like the Thunder, the Pacers were bounced in the first round of the playoffs in the first two years post-Paul George trade. Advertisement Then came the seismic summer of 2019. George was on the move again — a trade out of Oklahoma City that was just as stunning, maybe more so, than the one that brought him in. The Thunder, with the leverage of a brewing George-Kawhi Leonard dalliance, received five first-round picks, two pick swaps, Danilo Gallinari and a promising young guard named Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Clippers. Trading for George, and then trading him away, had netted the Thunder a future MVP. Meanwhile, after parts of five seasons in Indiana, the Pacers flipped Sabonis to the Kings for Haliburton. For Indiana, George led to Oladipo and Sabonis, and Sabonis to Haliburton. Advertisement For OKC, Oladipo and Sabonis led to George, and George to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a pick that produced another All-Star in Jalen Williams and who knows what else to come. Trading away George — and Sabonis, for that matter — is the throughline that connects Oklahoma City and Indiana. A line that can be traced from a 2018 trade to the 2025 NBA Finals.
