Herro ended with 34 points (12-20 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Knicks.
Herro had his best performance of the young season by a wide margin, putting up season-high marks in points and assists while tying his best output in the rebounding category. The Heat have endured a rough start to the season on the offensive end of the floor, but Herro has been putting up strong numbers, averaging 22.3 points per game and shooting an impressive 43.2 percent from deep through four contests.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Will play Wednesday
Rotowire
Herro (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
As expected, Herro is good to go for the regular season after sitting out the preseason finale for rest purposes. Herro has struggled to stay healthy in the early stages of his career, but he's averaged at least 20 points, five rebounds and four assists in three straight campaigns.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Herro is out for Friday's preseason game versus the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro will sit out Miami's preseason finale alongside most of the team's starters. The 24-year-old guard should be good to go for the Heat's regular-season opener against Orlando on Oct. 23.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Scores 19 points vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Herro finished Wednesday's 120-111 preseason win over the Hawks with 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 23 minutes.
Herro had his highest scoring output of the preseason Wednesday despite playing the second leg of a back-to-back. He's coming off a 2023-24 campaign during which he averaged a career-high 20.8 points per game along with 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.7 steals over 33.5 minutes. However, Herro appeared in just 42 games (40 starts) due to multiple injuries, and his health will be a major factor in the Heat's quest to return to the NBA Finals after failing to make it past the first round of last year's Eastern Conference playoffs.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Solid outing in preseason debut
Rotowire
Herro amassed 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 15 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Herro impressed in his preseason debut after missing time due to a groin strain. The sharpshooter played only 15 minutes while tying Duncan Robinson (18 minutes) with a team-high 12 points. Herro is coming off one of his best statistical years, during which he averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from deep across 33.5 minutes per game. However, the 24-year-old played a career-low 42 regular-season games due to a litany of injuries -- most notably an ankle sprain, foot tendonitis and a hyperextended knee. Herro also has yet to eclipse 70 regular-season appearances in his five-year career.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Available Sunday vs. New Orleans
Rotowire
Herro (groin) is available and starting in Sunday's preseason game versus the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Herro will return to game action after sustaining a groin strain that held him out of Tuesday's preseason-opening win against the Hornets. The sharpshooter was able to put up shots without an issue during Friday's shootaround, though it is unlikely he will receive a full workload during his preseason debut.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Practices Friday
Rotowire
Herro (groin) was active during Friday's practice and put up shots afterwards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro is dealing with a groin strain that held him out of Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets. While the sharpshooter is not 100 percent, he is expected to be fully available for Opening Night against the Magic. Herro's next chance to feature during the preseason will come Sunday versus the Pelicans.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Dealing with groin strain
Rotowire
Herro won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets due to a right groin strain.
Herro is coming off an injury-plagued 2023-24 campaign, during which he made a career-low 42 regular-season appearances. Per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, the hope is that it's a minor injury and Herro will be back on the court soon. However, Herro has never played in more than 67 regular-season games in a season, so this is still a concerning update. The Heat have five preseason games before starting the regular season against the Magic on Oct. 23.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Ends season plagued by struggles
Rotowire
Herro ended Wednesday's 118-84 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 15 points (6-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes.
Herro was forced to embrace a more prominent role on offense due to the absences of Jimmy Butler (knee) and Terry Rozier (neck) in the series against the Celtics. While the numbers were decent across the board, he struggled badly in terms of efficiency and shooting percentages. Over the five games of the series, Herro made just 38.5 percent of his shots from the field and 34.9 percent of his three-pointers. He averaged 16.8 points per game, but that was not enough to lift Miami to victory against the team with the best record in the NBA.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Poor shooting effort in Game 3
Rotowire
Herro finished with 15 points (5-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 104-84 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Herro had a rough outing Saturday, as he had a tough time when matched up against Jaylen Brown, and he finished the game with more field-goal attempts than points scored. That's not an encouraging performance from a player that needs to steps up offensively, particularly with Jimmy Butler (knee) sidelined. Through three games in the current series against the Celtics, Herro has gone 16-for-42 from the field while failing to surpass the 15-point mark twice.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Leads offensively in double-double
Rotowire
Herro posted 24 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first round.
Herro stepped up big for Miami in a bounce-back win in Game 2, leading all players in the contest in threes made and assists while leading all Heat players in scoring in an impressive outing. Herro set a season high in assists for any Miami player this year, and he tied the second-most dimes by a Heat player in a playoff game in team history. Miami will need Herro to continue to step up offensively, especially with Jimmy Butler (knee) inactive.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Wills team to victory
Rotowire
Herro accumulated 24 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 112-91 Play-In Game victory over the Bulls.
Herro was the star of the show in this one, and while he didn't have a great shooting night by any means, he had a more controlled approach after knocking down nine of 27 attempts from the field Tuesday against the 76ers. The Kentucky product did much more than score in the win, falling just one assist shy of a triple-double. The Heat will need more performances like this from Herro heading into the team's opening-round series against the Celtics.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Paces team in scoring in loss
Rotowire
Herro registered 25 points (9-27 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and nine assists over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 105-104 Play-In Game loss to Philadelphia.
Although Herro needed 27 shots to score 25 shots, the uptick in usage rate happened largely due to Jimmy Butler suffering a knee injury in the first quarter, which limited him considerably, and Bam Adebayo had a rough matchup with Joel Embiid. Herro has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last six outings, and considering Butler will miss Friday's win-or-go-home matchup against the Bulls, Herro should be in line for another heavy usage rate against Chicago.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Stuffs stat sheet in win Sunday
Rotowire
Herro ended Sunday's 118-103 victory over the Raptors with 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 29 minutes.
Herro delivered a solid outing Sunday and finished just two dimes away from a double-double, playing a prominent role on offense as the Heat wrapped up their regular season with a comfortable win over the Raptors. Herro's workload in the Play-In matchup against the 76ers on Wednesday could be determined by the availability of Terry Rozier (neck), but he should find himself in the starting lineup either way. Herro has scored 17 or more points in his six appearances this month.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Available for Wednesday's game
Rotowire
Herro (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro saw plenty of work in Tuesday's win over Atlanta, tallying 33 points, five rebounds and four assists in 48 minutes. He's appeared in only three matchups since returning from a 20-game absence due to a foot injury, and he suggested Tuesday that he could sit Wednesday. He'll suit up against Dallas, but it's possible the Heat choose to manage his workload Wednesday and in their final two regular-season games.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Uncertain against Dallas
Rotowire
Herro suggested Tuesday that the Heat may plan on sitting him out for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Herro logged 48 minutes and scored a team-high 33 points in Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Hawks. While the 23-year-old guard didn't suffer any injury, Miami could opt to sit him out for the second leg of their back-to-back Wednesday after recently returning from a 20-game absence due to a foot injury.

Herro will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Terry Rozier (neck) and Duncan Robinson (back) are out for Miami, so it's not a surprise to see Herro get the starting nod. He's likely to see a ton of usage in a fast-paced game against the Hawks on Tuesday night.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Turns in gem off bench in return
Rotowire
Herro (foot) tallied 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six assists and five rebounds across 25 minutes in Friday's 119-104 win over the Rockets.
Aside from uncharacteristically poor free-throw shooting and a lack of defensive production, Herro's line was about as solid as fantasy managers could have hoped for, considering that he was on a minutes limit while coming off the bench in his return from a 20-game absence due to right medial foot tendinitis. The Heat likely have him earmarked for the starting role at shooting guard that went to Duncan Robinson on Friday, but it may take another game or two for Herro to recapture a spot in the starting unit while he regains full conditioning following the lengthy layoff.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Will play off bench Friday
Rotowire
Herro (foot) will play Friday against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro will make his return following a 20-game absence due to right foot medial tendinitis, but he's expected to operate off the bench and be limited against Houston, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Across 38 appearances this season, Herro has averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.
