The Heat will be without guard Tyler Herro when they tip off Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Thursday night, but it may not be long until Miami has the key contributor back in the rotation.
After Heat coach Erik Spoelstra ruled Herro out for Game 1 on Wednesday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that there’s a “possibility” the 23-year-old could return as soon as Game 2 on Sunday night. The Heat plan to give the 2022 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, who’s been nursing a fractured hand since Miami’s first-round series against the Bucks, a few more days of rest before testing out the injury ahead of Sunday’s tilt.
