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.

Herro is out for Friday's preseason game versus the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

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: 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.
