Heat SG Tyler Herro clears health and safety protocols, 'available' vs. Knicks
After clearing the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Tuesday , it now appears that Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro could be making his return to the court for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks.
The Heat (30-17) enter the home contest against the Knicks nursing a half-game lead over the Chicago Bulls (29-17) for first place in the Eastern Conference. Chicago will host the Toronto Raptors (23-22) on Wednesday night.
Herro was placed in the health and safety protocols one week ago and has missed Miami's last three games. The third-year pro is second on the team in scoring — averaging a career-high 20.7 points per game — and third on the squad in assists per game (4.0), which is also a career-best.
The University of Kentucky product has registered a .430/.388/.876 shooting line through 38 games this season, including 10 starts.
