Herro (groin) will be available for Sunday's Game 7 against Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Herro missed the previous three games due to a groin injury, but he'll play through it as the Heat look to return to the NBA Finals for the second time in the last three years. It's very possible that Herro will be playing at well below 100 percent, so he'll be a fairly risky play in single-game DFS contests.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Limited at shootaround
Rotowire
Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Herro (groin) is doing "everything he possibly can" to convince the coaching staff and trainers that he can play in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
Herro missed Games 4 and 5 and is officially listed as questionable for Game 6. Spoelstra added that Herro was limited during the team's morning shootaround, but his status likely won't become clearer until closer to tipoff. With their backs against the wall, it's not surprising to hear that Herro is testing his limits to suit up. The Sixth Man of the Year's presence -- even if limited -- would be a huge boost to a Miami offense that managed just 82 and 80 points, respectively, in Games 4 and 5.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Out for Game 5
Rotowire
Herro (groin) will not play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Herro is trying to work back from a relatively serious left groin strain and will miss his second game in a row. The injury reportedly has a typical recovery time of two to four weeks, so it wouldn't be surprising if Herro was out for the remainder of the series.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Questionable for Game 5
Rotowire
Herro (groin) is listed as questionable for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Herro is reportedly dealing with a serious groin injury that would typically take 2-to-4 weeks to come back from, but he's pushing to return for Game 5, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The Sixth Man of the Year was sidelined for the Game 4 blowout loss after struggling through Game 3 and ultimately being benched due to the injury. Once again, the Heat have numerous players listed on the injury report, but the only two that appear to be in jeopardy of actually being sidelined are Herro and Kyle Lowry (hamstring).

Heat's Tyler Herro: Won't play in Game 4
Rotowire
Herro (groin) won't play Monday in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
Herro was listed as questionable after departing Game 3, and his groin is still bothering him to the point that he'll be held out as the Heat play their fourth game in a seven-day span. Prior to sustaining the injury, Herro struggled through Game 3, finishing with eight points on just 4-of-15 shooting in 20 minutes of action. Hayes adds that Herro is hoping that resting the hamstring Monday will enable him to return for Wednesday's Game 5 back in Miami. On a more positive note for Miami, both Kyle Lowry (hamstring) and Jimmy Butler (knee) are on track to be available for Game 4.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Questionable for Game 4
Rotowire
Herro (groin) is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Monday.
Herro suffered what was initially reported as a quadriceps injury during Game 3 and was benched in favor of Victor Oladipo during the fourth quarter. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game that the medical staff didn't rule Herro out completely, but he still opted to roll with Oladipo simply because he was playing better, per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com. It doesn't sound like the groin issue is too serious, but the Heat will likely still wait until the last second to make a definitive statement on Herro's status for Game 4.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Dealing with quad injury
Rotowire
Herro suffered a quadriceps injury during Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
Herro played just 20 minutes during the win and was benched in favor of Victor Oladipo during the fourth quarter. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game that he had no update on the severity of Herro's injury, but he did say that part of the reason he stuck with Oladipo was because of the injury, but it was also due to the fact that Oladipo was just playing better, per Friedell. It doesn't sound like the quadriceps issue is too serious, but it's certainly something worth monitoring ahead of Monday's critical Game 4.
