Date set for Heat guard Tyler Herro's season debut

Tyler Herro will make his season debut for the Miami Heat on Monday, presuming he doesn’t experience an unexpected setback, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports (via X).

Herro has been sidelined since September, when he underwent surgery to alleviate posterior impingement syndrome in his left ankle. Monday’s game against the Mavericks has been viewed as his targeted return date for the last week or so, as he returned to practice with the Heat.

Herro is coming off the first All-Star appearance of his career and will look to resume his place at the head of Miami’s offense, which looks dramatically different than a year ago.

The Heat are currently 11-6, following their win against the Sixers on Sunday, and have won 9 of their last 11 games.
