Herro posted 14 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one block over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to Milwaukee.
Herro was held scoreless in the first and third quarters, and he finished with just 14 points for a second consecutive contest. He remained on a minutes restriction off the bench, and it will be interesting to see if he continues to operate with restrictions during Thursday's game against Philadelphia. The star guard impressed in his return from a 15-game absence due to a rib injury during Friday's win over the Hawks, though he has shot just 10-for-32 from the field over his last two appearances. Despite struggling with efficiency in those two outings, he still dished out six assists in each of them.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Suits up in back-to-back
Rotowire
Herro finished with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 136-120 win over the Grizzlies.
Herro put together an efficient performance relative to his time on the floor. It's a positive all-around showing after the Heat guard missed 15 games in a row due to a ribs injury. The fact that he was available for both games in a back-to-back set upon his return to the lineup is a positive sign. He may be on pace to rejoin the starting lineup soon.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Drops 24 points in return
Rotowire
Herro (ribs) finished with 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes off the bench in Friday's 128-97 win over the Hawks.
Herro returned to the hardwood following a 15-game absence due to a right costochondral injury to the ribs and operated under a minutes restriction. The star guard got off to a strong start, scoring 16 of his 24 points in the first half before ending as the game's leading scorer. Given his lengthy absence, Herro could continue to come off the bench for a few more games while the Heat look to manage his minutes carefully. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's game against Memphis, as he could be a candidate to sit out the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back set.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Probable for Friday
Rotowire
Herro (ribs) is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Presumably, Herro responded well to practice on Thursday. Herro has missed the past 15 games for Miami, so it's fair to expect restrictions when he's cleared to return. It's worth mentioning that Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it will be interesting to see if a maintenance day is considered Saturday.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Close to returning
Rotowire
Herro (ribs) is expected to practice Thursday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro has been out for 15 straight games due to a right costochondral injury to his ribs, but he's finally nearing a return to game action. More light on the star guard's status should arrive either following the session or when Miami releases its next official injury report Thursday, but Herro can be tentatively labeled as questionable for Friday's contest in Atlanta for now. His eventual presence could push Kasparas Jakucionis out of the Heat's rotation entirely.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Not traveling for road trip
Rotowire
Herro (ribs) is not traveling with the Heat for their two-game road trip, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports Thursday.
With Herro not accompanying the team on their road trip, it's safe to assume he won't be playing Friday in Boston or Sunday in Washington. The Heat have not provided any positive updates on Herro, so for now, he should be considered doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Jazz.
