"If the Heat were going to emerge as a competitive team in the Eastern Conference this season, things were almost going to have to fall perfectly for the team. That means they needed to get off to a strong start, they needed to remain healthy, and they needed a few unexpected young players to take big strides in their development."
"Herro is expected to miss a couple of months after undergoing a foot/ankle procedure. Some projections have him missing roughly a month of the season. That equals out to about 15ish games. Without the best offensive player in the lineup, it's hard to imagine how the Heat is going to offset this loss and get off to a strong start."
Tyler Herro underwent a foot/ankle procedure and is expected to miss a couple of months, with some projections estimating roughly a month (about 15 games). The Heat needed a near-perfect combination of a strong start, health, and breakout development from young players to compete in the Eastern Conference. Losing Herro significantly reduces any outside chance of that outcome and intensifies existing offensive concerns after last season's bottom-10 offensive rating. The earlier loss of Duncan Robinson further weakens perimeter scoring. Norman Powell could partially offset the absence, but uncertainty remains and a longer absence could make the season quickly deteriorate.
