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.
