"Herro sustained an injury to his ribs in mid-January against the Boston Celtics and hasn't played since. That came after he had already missed the beginning of the season, and to date, he's played in only 11 games for the Heat, which has affected Miami's season for the worse, as they have played mediocre basketball for much of the year."
"So while Herro remains on ice for the time being, there is cause for hope considering that Erik Spoelstra recently revealed that Herro will be back, which, for the Heat's playoff chances, bodes well for them. That said, it is not how many points Herro puts up upon his return that should be his focus. Instead, with the expected offseason changes for the Heat, Herro must prioritize something greater."
"All Herro has to do is stay on the floor; that's it. Can he help the Heat offensively? Of course, he can. Despite only playing in 11 games this season, Herro's production has been consistent and solid. He's averaging 21.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game, second only to Norman Powell as far as points per game are concerned."
No precise timeline exists for Tyler Herro's return as the Heat use the All-Star break for recovery. He suffered a rib injury in mid-January and has not played since, totaling only 11 games this season after missing the opener. Herro averages 21.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists, and Miami's offense is demonstrably better with him available. Erik Spoelstra indicated Herro will return, which helps playoff chances. With likely offseason roster changes and trade speculation, consistent health and availability are more important than scoring output to secure his role and leverage.
