""It was a long nine, 10 weeks or so [that I was out], but it went by fast," Herro said. "[The team has] been having a lot of fun, and just to be able to go out there and compete with them tonight was great.""
""It's amazing that he can come back and have that kind of rhythm, and that's only going to get better," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "When you face better defenses, you can see why we need that skill. You need as much skill and firepower as possible in this league. And it was just exciting to have him back.""
Tyler Herro returned to game action after roughly nine to ten weeks following ankle surgery and scored 24 points in his season debut, including a go-ahead floater that gave Miami a 106-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. Herro had ramped up conditioning with a planned late-November return and the timing coincided with Norman Powell sitting out (groin) and a back-to-back schedule. Coach Erik Spoelstra praised Herro's rhythm, skill and potential to improve against tougher defenses. Herro described the recovery span as long but fast and said competing with teammates felt great.
