Heat Announce Tyler Herro News on Sunday

As the Heat prepare for Monday’s game against the New York Knicks, Miami provided a promising injury update on Herro. The team announced that Herro returned to practice, along with big man Bam Adebayo, marking a key step forward in their respective recoveries.

“Heat now say that Herro and Adebayo did participate in practice today,” wrote Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.

Additionally, during his media availability, Herro spoke to reporters and shared the latest on his timeline, saying he expects to return within the next one to two weeks. “It felt great to be in the drills,” Herro said, reflecting on his first full practice since undergoing ankle surgery in September (h/t Winderman).

Herro’s return could be a turning point for Miami. With his ability to create off the dribble, the Heat’s offense could reach another level, especially in close games where shot-making matters most. If he stays healthy, Miami has the pieces in place to contend for a top-six seed in the East.

This season marks Herro’s seventh with the Heat, continuing a steady rise since being drafted 13th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. He earned All-Rookie honors in his debut season and quickly became a fan favorite for his confidence and clutch shooting.

In 2022, he won Sixth Man of the Year after averaging over 20 points per game off the bench, then transitioned into a full-time starter the following season. Now entering his prime, Herro has a chance to lead Miami’s next chapter and build on a career that includes an All-Star nod and multiple deep playoff runs.
