From inside the Heat locker room the very night Terry Rozier got injured a very unlikely hero was formed…
Erik spolsetra: Hey man I need to ask you for a favor
Unexpected hero: anything for you man
ES: I need to ask you to come out of retirement to help our team
UH: Man I just planned a trip to Barbados. Are we seriously doing this?
ES: We just lost our boy Terry Rozier. We need you.
UH: I’ll think about and I’ll get back to you soon
ES: Thanks man. I hope you join us
Also in the locker room:
Nikola Jovic: Man you had an amazing game today Tyler
Tyler Herro: I guess I did. You had a nice one too tho
NJ: 8 points isn’t that much tho
TH: you got 9 rebounds tho
NJ: you’re right. I can’t believe Terry went down.
TH: yeah. I guess patty mills will take his spot
NJ: probably

One week later
News reporter: Well we have breaking news from our studio in Los Angeles
NR: The struggling Heat have signed veteran Kemba Walker for a minimum one year contract. The Heat have been struggling since Terry Rozier got injured with a 0-3 record since then.
ES: Hey man thanks for signing with us
KW: Yeah I just wanted to go to Barbados. I was gonna sign anyway
ES: We could’ve used you then
KW: yeah but I NEEDED that vacation
ES: Ok. There’s this new barbecue place that just opened. I’ll take you there
KW: Bet. Make sure they have extra coleslaw for me
ES: You know you’re not getting any. That stuff is all mine
KW: You see you got it all wrong. That coleslaw is mine
ES: Fine. I get the steak fries tho
