Anxious Heat fans awaiting the return of Tyler Herro will have to stay on standby for a little longer, according to the latest update from Miami coach Erik Spoelstra.
Ahead of Sunday’s Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Spoelstra confirmed Herro, who has been out since April 16 with a broken right hand, remains without a return timeline, but stopped short of ruling the guard out for another game. Spoelstra also shot down an ESPN report released prior to the Heat’s 104–93 Game 1 loss to the Nuggets on Thursday stating there was a “possibility” the 23-year-old could return for Game 2.
“His status has not changed yet, I’m not trying to be elusive about that,” Spoelstra told reporters on Saturday. “I don’t know where that report came out that he was playing in Game 2. All we’re focused on right now is his process, continuing to do work and get prepared.
