Dozier appeared in NBA action each season from 2018-2023, but totaled just 121 games in those six seasons. Spending most of his NBA time with the Denver Nuggets, Dozier appeared in 97 games for Denver across three seasons.
Some of Dozier's best career moments came in the 2020 NBA Playoffs when he played rotation minutes at times for a Nuggets group that made it to the Western Conference Finals.
