"He evidently earned it, starting all of his 67 games in 2022-23, putting together similar numbers on slightly less usage before suffering a season-ending hand injury in the postseason. He battled injury again in 2023-24, where he was sidelined for 40 games, before parlaying his growth as a shotmaker into the best season of his career last year. Herro averaged 23.9 points on 60.5 percent true shooting, being named a first-time All-Star."
"For the better part of the last two games, Herro was in complete control offensively. He tallied 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting against Atlanta on Friday before following up with 14 points with six dimes against Memphis. Most importantly, the seventh-year guard looked comfortable off the bench - similarly to when he was the league's best bench guard a half-decade ago. Herro was ignitable and was put in contexts where he was allowed to be the primary engine and develop rhythm."
Tyler Herro moved from Sixth Man of the Year to a 2022-23 starter, then missed time with a postseason hand injury. He endured additional absences in 2023-24 before breaking out into an All-Star season, averaging 23.9 points on 60.5 percent true shooting. This season has been interrupted by ankle, toe and rib injuries, limiting him to 13 games. He returned with eased minutes from coach Erik Spoelstra and produced efficient performances in blowout wins. Coming off the bench, Herro has demonstrated the ability to ignite offense, create rhythm and operate as the primary scoring engine while defensive and playmaking concerns remain.
