The Lakers have a 0-3 start into the 2022-23 season while shooting 25-of-118 from the 3-point range. According to ESPN Stats & Info, the 21.2% shooting from outside through the first three opening games is the second-worst among all teams in NBA history.

Rozier, 28, is averaging 23.5 points, 8.5 assists, and 7.0 rebounds through two games this year. He missed Sunday's game against the Atlanta Hawks with a sprained right ankle.

Including a 6-for-15 start this season, Rozier is a career 37.6 percent shooter from a 3-point zone.

Rozier, the 16th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft by the Boston Celtics, averaged 19.3 points (37.4% 3PT) for the Hornets last season.
