Herro amassed 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 106-89 win over the 76ers.
Jimmy Butler returned from a four-game absence to lead Miami to victory, with Herro supplying some secondary offense. It's the first time since Nov. 2 that the 24-year-old guard has failed to score at least 20 points, but Herro hasn't slowed down from beyond the arc -- he's drained multiple three-pointers in 12 straight appearances to begin the campaign and is shooting 45.2 percent from long distance on a career-high 9.7 attempts a game, leading to personal bests of 24.2 points and 4.4 threes a contest.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Scores 20 points vs. Indiana
Rotowire
Herro provided 20 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 124-111 win over the Pacers.
Herro wasn't efficient from the field Friday -- particularly from long range -- but he managed to score at least 20 points for a sixth straight game and finished as the Heat's second-leading scorer behind Bam Adebayo (30). Part of Herro's inefficiency is likely due to the fact that he's playing through a right shoulder contusion, which will be something to monitor heading into Sunday's rematch against Indiana. Herro and Adebayo will continue to be Miami's one-two punch on offense while Jimmy Butler (ankle) is sidelined.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Playing through shoulder bruise
Rotowire
Herro is listed as available for Friday's game versus the Pacers despite having a right shoulder contusion.
It's unclear when Herro suffered his shoulder contusion, but it won't cause him to miss any time. The 24-year-old guard has had a strong start to the season and should continue to be Miami's top option on offense with Jimmy Butler (ankle) sidelined.

Herro contributed 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Sunday's 95-94 victory over the Timberwolves.
With Jimmy Butler (ankle) unavailable, Herro stepped up and led the charge for the Heat. The 24-year-old guard has scored 24 or more points and drained at least four three-pointers in four straight games, averaging 26.3 points, 5.8 assists, 5.5 boards and 4.5 threes during that stretch while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor and 47.4 percent (18-for-38) from beyond the arc.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Season-high 11 assists
Rotowire
Herro chipped in 24 points (10-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt), seven rebounds and 11 assists across 40 minutes during Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets.
Herro recorded season highs in assists and rebounds while scoring at least 24 points for a third straight game. During that stretch, he's averaged 26.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 36.3 minutes per game. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the contest early, and if he's forced to miss time, Herro would likely take over as Miami's go-to offensive player.

Rotowire
Herro contributed 28 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to Phoenix.
On a night when the other four Heat starters shot 14-for-46 (30.4 percent) from the field, Herro needed to step up offensively. He did just that, collecting a team-high 28 points while tying for the team lead in assists. Herro's off to a strong start in 2024-25, averaging 22.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 31.2 minutes on 50/46/82 shooting splits.

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.

Herro will return to game action after sustaining a groin strain that held him out of Tuesday's preseason-opening win against the Hornets.

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.
