While the team didn't announce contract terms, his agent told
multiple outlets last week that the sides agreed to a four-year
extension worth a maximum eligible amount of $97 million.
"In his two seasons with the Hornets, Terry Rozier has been an
instrumental part of our team," said Mitch Kupchak, Charlotte's
general manager, in a news release. "Terry is a highly
competitive, tough and talented player that has continually
improved all aspects of his game. He has provided leadership and
an infectious work ethic that has been a tremendous benefit to
our younger players."
Rozier, the 16th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Boston
Celtics, averaged 20.4 points for the Hornets last season. He
also tallied 4.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game in his second
season in Charlotte.
After four years with the Celtics included 30 total starts,
Rozier became a key cog in Charlotte and has averaged more than
34 minutes per game in two seasons with the team, including 132
starts.
"Ever since I got to Charlotte, the fans and the organization
have embraced me," Rozier said, "I am excited to remain with the
Hornets for the long term and I can't wait to see what my
teammates, coaches, the organization and I can accomplish in the
coming years. I am grateful for the trust everyone has put in me
and I cannot wait to get back to work for this upcoming season."
