Heat's Tyler Herro: Could return Friday

The Heat have optimism that Herro (foot) could return to action for Friday's game against the Rockets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Friday marks the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Heat have yet to release an official injury report following Thursday's 109-105 loss to the 76ers. Herro has been sidelined since Feb. 23 due to a right foot medial tendinitis, but the guard is traveling with the Heat on their three-game road trip that begins Friday and could get the green light to suit up versus Houston. His potential return would be a big boost for Miami, and if available Friday, Herro looks like he'll have a full week to get in reps before the Heat begin their playoff run.
