College career

In his senior season at Spring Valley High School, he was named to the 2015 McDonald's All-American Boys Game roster and scored 14 points. He committed to South Carolina.[1] ESPN ranked him the 21st best recruit in his class. His father, Perry Dozier, was a basketball player for South Carolina in the 1980s.[2]

In his sophomore season, along with Magic guard Sindarius Thornwell, Dozier was an important part of South Carolina's improbable Final Four appearance. He scored 21 points against Marquette in the NCAA Tournament.[3] Dozier was named to the East Region All-Tournament Team. In the 77–73 loss to Gonzaga in the Final Four, Dozier had 17 points.[4] At the conclusion of his sophomore season, Dozier announced his intention to forgo his final two seasons of collegiate eligibility and declare for the 2017 NBA Draft.[5]

Professional career

Oklahoma City Thunder (2017–2018)

After going undrafted in 2017 NBA draft, Dozier signed with the Los Angeles Lakers for the 2017 NBA Summer League. He signed a contract with the Dallas Mavericks on August 8, 2017.[6] He was released on October 14, 2017, before agreeing to a two-way contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder two days later. Under the terms of the deal, Dozier split time between the Thunder and their NBA G League affiliate, the Oklahoma City Blue. Dozier would make his NBA debut on February 8, 2018, in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Boston Celtics (2018–2019)

On July 4, Dozier was included in the Philadelphia 76ers' Summer League team.[10]

Denver Nuggets (2019–2022)

On August 13, 2019, Dozier signed a one-year contract with the Denver Nuggets.[11] He was assigned to the Windy City Bulls for the start of the NBA G League season.[12] On January 11, 2020, Dozier had a game-high 32 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, two steals and one block in a 120–112 win over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.[13] In his Denver debut on January 15, Dozier finished with 12 points as he filled in for the injured Jamal Murray.[14] On June 30, the Denver Nuggets have converted his two-way contract to a multi-year NBA contract.[15]

On November 23, 2021, during a 100–119 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, Dozier tore his left ACL. The next day, it was confirmed that the tear was a season-ending injury.[16]

On January 19, 2022, Dozier was traded to the Boston Celtics in a three-team trade involving the San Antonio Spurs.[17] On February 10, 2022, Dozier was traded to the Orlando Magic, without appearing in a game for the Celtics.[18] He was waived by the Magic following the trade.[19]
