Tyler Herro, Miami Heat Not Expected To Agree To Extension

Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat are not expected to agree to an extension, according to NBA insider Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

Herro will make $31 million this season and $33 million next season in the final year of his deal.

“Tyler Herro is coming off an All-Star season and is definitely interested in extending with the Miami Heat, but there haven’t been substantive talks to his point and a deal is doubtful, sources say,” Windhorst wrote.

Herro will miss “around eight weeks” after undergoing surgery to alleviate posterior impingement syndrome in his left ankle. The 90-minute procedure was performed by Dr. Thomas San Giovanni and assisted by Heat team physicians Dr. Harlan Selesnick and Dr. Frantz Lerebours at Doctors Hospital Surgery Center in Miami.

For the Heat last season, Herro averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks in 77 games. He made his first All-Star team and shot 47.2% from the field, 37.5% from beyond the arc and 87.8% from the free-throw line.

Herro has career averages of 19.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks with the Heat. He won the 2021-22 Sixth Man of the Year Award. Miami selected Herro with the 13th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

The Heat lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the 2025 playoffs in four games. Jimmy Butler requested a trade and was traded to the Golden State Warriors in February.

Miami made the NBA Finals twice (2020, 2023) during the Butler era, losing both times. The franchise wants to save cap space for the 2027 free agent class.
