The Miami Heat will be squaring off with the Boston Celtics down at least one key player, with the team announcing that it will sit guard Tyler Herro for Game 4 against the Celtics in their Eastern Conference finals series with Boston on Monday.
Herro sustained what is being described as a groin injury in the second half of Game 3 on Saturday, and exited the game early. With five other teammates listed on the injury report as questionable apart from the Heat guard, health for Miami has become a critical element to watch. Jimmy Butler, in particular, also exited Game 3 with knee inflammation but is expected to play in Game 4 per multiple sources.
“This is the time of the year everybody wants to play,” said Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra on Monday of Herro’s absence via USA TODAY’s Jeff Zillgitt.
