CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Terry Rozier’s pregame warmup routine was all done, the final touches on his shooting regimen wrapped up.
Before trotting off, the Charlotte Hornets guard fulfilled a request, stopping to take time to mingle with a young fan sporting a pinstriped No. 1 jersey bearing the name of the team’s star point guard LaMelo Ball. Rozier put his John Hancock on the uniform and posed for a keepsake cell phone picture, undoubtedly creating an unforgettable memory for the boy.
It’s a wonder that Rozier didn’t grab a broom and dustpan first so he could sweep the court on the Spectrum Center floor, too. He’s seemingly been asked to do nearly everything else for the Hornets this season and his workload has only increased since Ball’s season-ending ankle surgery.
