Tyler Herro Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Magic vs Heat game on Oct 4, 2025 with our National Basketball Association injury report.Apr 12, 2025
Sitting out Sunday
Herro won't play in Sunday's game versus the Wizards due to rest purposes, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will sit out Sunday's regular-season finale due to the Heat already being locked into the 10th seed in the Eastern Conference. Davion Mitchell will likely start in his absence. Herro should be able to return for Wednesday's Play-In game against the Bulls.
Apr 11, 2025
Officially good to go
Herro (thigh) is available for Friday's game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with a right thigh contusion. The star guard has scored at least 20 points in each of his last 10 outings.
Apr 10, 2025
Expected to play Friday
Herro is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans due to a right thigh contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is expected to make his third straight appearance Friday despite dealing with a right thigh contusion. Herro has been displaying incredible efficiency across his last 10 outings, posting 54.0/45.5/94.0 shooting splits.
Apr 10, 2025
Goes for 30 points Wednesday
Herro closed Wednesday's 119-111 loss to the Bulls with 30 points (13-26 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The Heat need Herro to be at his best ahead of the Play-In Tournament, and the All-Star guard is certainly ending the regular season on an excellent note. This was the fourth time he reached the 30-point mark over his last seven appearances, and Herro is averaging an excellent 29.0 points per game while shooting 42.2 percent from three over that span. He might not deliver a lot in other categories, but Herro should remain a valuable fantasy alternative as long as he continues to shoot the ball at this rate of volume and efficiency.
Apr 8, 2025
Hits for 20 in Monday's win
Herro accumulated 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 117-105 win over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old also committed seven turnovers in his return from a one-game absence due to a thigh bruise, his worst showing in that category since Feb. 5, but they didn't cost the Heat. Herro has scored 20-plus points in eight straight appearances, averaging 27.8 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 boards, 2.9 threes and 1.4 steals over that stretch while shooting 56.9 percent from the floor and 48.9 percent from beyond the arc as Miami heads toward the Play-In Tournament.
Apr 7, 2025
Will play against Philadelphia
Herro (thigh) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing Saturday's game against the Bucks with a right thigh contusion, the All-Star guard will return Monday and should be able to handle his normal workload. With Bam Adebayo (back) not playing, Herro should see a boost in usage against Philadelphia. Over his last seven outings, Herro has averaged 28.9 points, 5.6 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 36.3 minutes while shooting a scorching 48.8 percent from downtown.
Apr 6, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Herro (thigh) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
After missing Saturday's game against the Bucks due to a thigh contusion, Herro is in danger of missing a second straight game Monday against Philadelphia. If the talented scorer is ruled out again, the Heat will likely turn to the backcourt trio of Davion Mitchell, Alec Burks and Terry Rozier to help shoulder the load.
Apr 5, 2025
Won't play vs. Milwaukee
Herro (thigh) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is dealing with a right thigh contusion, which will keep him sidelined for Saturday's matchup against Milwaukee. The Heat will likely turn to Davion Mitchell, Terry Rozier and Alec Burks to shoulder the load in the backcourt.
Apr 4, 2025
Iffy to face Milwaukee
Herro is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks due to a right thigh contusion.
ANALYSIS
The right thigh contusion is a new injury for Herro, who hasn't missed an outing since March 5. If the All-Star is sidelined against Milwaukee, Alec Burks, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez are candidates for a bump in minutes. Herro has been spectacular in his last five appearances, averaging 30.6 points, 5.8 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers and 1.4 steals across 36.0 minutes per contest. He has shot 55.3 percent from the field and 44.1 percent from beyond the arc in that five-game span.
Apr 4, 2025
Goes off for 35 points
Herro posted 35 points (12-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block in 37 minutes during Thursday's 110-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been outstanding in recent weeks and is ending the campaign on a sizzling note. This was the third time he reached the 30-point plateau over his last five outings, and Herro seems to have turned the page over since recording an eight-point dud against the Rockets on March 21. In his last seven games since that woeful showing versus Houston, Herro is averaging 28.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game while shooting an impressive 48.8 percent from three-point range.
Apr 3, 2025
Leading scorer in road win
Herro accumulated a game-high 25 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 124-103 victory over Boston.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard scored at least 20 points for the sixth straight game, and it's no coincidence that the Heat have won all six. Herro is averaging 27.8 points, 5.8 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.7 steals during that surge while shooting 58.0 percent from the floor and 47.2 percent (17-for-36) from beyond the arc, but with Miami all but locked into the Play-In Tournament, he might get rested for a game or two as the team closes out the regular season.
Apr 1, 2025
Struggles from deep Monday
Herro had 27 points (9-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro posted an impressive stat line across the board, but his struggles from beyond the arc won't go unnoticed, as the sharpshooter missed all six of his three-point attempts. It was just the third time this season he didn't connect on a single three-pointer while attempting six or more. He's shooting a mere 34.2 percent from deep since the All-Star break, and while he's still averaging 23.4 points per game over that span, an uptick in the three-point efficiency would go a long way toward boosting his fantasy upside.
Mar 28, 2025
Explodes for 36 points Thursday
Herro notched 36 points (13-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Despite reaching the 20-point mark in four of his previous six outings before Thursday's contest, Herro had been struggling with his shot a bit and didn't look in the same rhythm he had earlier this season. This was a much-needed performance for the All-Star guard, though, and he was wildly efficient after missing just four of his 17 attempts from the floor. He's averaging 21.6 points per game since the beginning of March, but there's no question this outing was something he needed to get his confidence back.
Mar 26, 2025
Comes close to double-double
Herro totaled 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 112-86 victory over Golden State.
ANALYSIS
It shouldn't surprise anyone to see Herro reaching the 20-point plateau when analyzing the kind of season he's had in 2024-25. However, and while he's aiming to finish the campaign on a strong note, Herro's numbers have been trending in the wrong direction since the All-Star break. He's averaging 20.5 points per game in March and 22.1 ppg since the break compared to the 23.9 points per contest he delivered in the first half of the campaign.
Mar 24, 2025
Scores 29 points Sunday
Herro registered 29 points (11-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 122-105 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Herro has recorded the 20-point mark in three of his last four outings, but perhaps more importantly, he was able to bounce back from the eight-point effort he delivered in the loss to Houston on Friday. Herro is averaging 20.8 points per game over his last 10 games, but he's been struggling from beyond the arc after making just 31.6 percent of his threes over that span.
Mar 23, 2025
Good to go Sunday
Herro (hip) is available for Sunday's game against Charlotte, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will shake off a questionable tag due to a left hip contusion. The star combo guard will look to bounce back from an eight-point performance in Friday's loss to the Rockets, during which he shot 3-for-11 from the field. Over his last five outings, Herro has averaged 16.8 points, 4.2 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers across 33.2 minutes per contest.
Mar 22, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Herro (hip) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
After a poor performance in Friday's loss to the Rockets, Herro popped up on the injury report for the Heat on Saturday. The talented scorer is dealing with a left hip contusion, which could ultimately rule him out Sunday against Charlotte. If Herro is ruled out, Miami will likely turn to Davion Mitchell, Terry Rozier and Alec Burks to help shoulder the load in the backcourt.
Mar 20, 2025
Scores 29 points in tight loss
Herro ended Wednesday's 116-113 loss to Detroit with 29 points (10-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro bounced back from a relatively cold stretch, as he had failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last three appearances while making just 44.4 percent of his shots over that span, with an impressive outing Wednesday. Herro has reached the 20-point plateau in seven of his 10 appearances this month, so even if he's had a few subpar outings, he remains a key player for Miami on offense. Across those 10 games, Herro is averaging 20.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals per contest.
Mar 16, 2025
Struggles with shot Saturday
Herro amassed eight points (3-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Saturday's 125-91 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Herro posted his worst scoring output of the season Saturday, and although this was a game in which the entire Heat team looked overmatched, Herro simply never got it going. He'll aim to bounce back against the Knicks on Monday, as he was averaging a solid 21.7 points per game in March before this disastrous performance.
Mar 15, 2025
Fills stat sheet Friday
Herro contributed 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 103-91 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The Heat suffered a 12-point loss and struggled as a team offensively, but Herro was one of the few Miami players who ended up delivering a solid stat line across the board. Herro recorded at least two tallies in each of the six major categories and remains the go-to player on offense for the Heat, especially in games where Bam Adebayo isn't at his best -- as was the case Friday. It's worth noting that Herro has scored at least 20 points in five of his seven appearances since the beginning of March.
Mar 13, 2025
Leads team in scoring
Herro provided 31 points (13-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 42 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro's efficient shooting from the field helped him record a team-high 31 points despite coming up short in Wednesday's loss. The 25-year-old guard has struggled with his outside shot as of late, converting just 29.3 percent of his 8.2 three-point attempts per contest.
Mar 11, 2025
Puts up 21 points in loss
Herro closed Monday's 105-102 loss to the Hornets with 21 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro didn't have it going from beyond the arc, but other than that, he posted a decent scoring line and managed to surpass the 20-point plateau for the third straight contest, always hovering between 21 and 22 points in that span. He's only making 35 percent of his threes in that three-game stretch, so there's still room for improvement for Herro, who's having an excellent season. He's averaging 23.4 points, 6.6 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game since the All-Star break, but he's doing it while shooting only 42.9 percent from the floor and 31 percent from three-point range.
Mar 10, 2025
Cleared to play Monday
Herro (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will play a third straight game while battling through a head cold. His illness hasn't impacted his playing time, as he's averaged 38.0 minutes per game over his last two outings. Herro's shooting efficiency has taken a noticeable dip since the All-Star break, as he's shot 41.9 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from three in that span.
Mar 9, 2025
Likely to play Monday
Herro (illness) is probable for Monday's game against Charlotte, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is expected to suit up for his third consecutive contest while he deals with a head cold. The sharpshooter has averaged 23.7 points, 7.1 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.8 three-pointers across 36.2 minutes per game in nine outings since the All-Star break.
Mar 9, 2025
Stuffs stat sheet despite loss
Herro registered 21 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 114-109 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been filling out the stat sheet left and right over his last few contests, and he managed to build off the 22-point, six-rebound, seven-assist performance he notched against the Timberwolves on Friday in the first leg of this back-to-back set. Herro has surpassed the 20-point mark in all but one of his last six appearances, and he should remain one of the most reliable and productive offensive weapons for the Heat as long as he stays healthy.
Mar 8, 2025
Likely to play against Chicago
Herro (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Herro is expected to make his second straight appearance Saturday despite dealing with a cold. Herro logged 39 minutes in Miami's most recent outing, so he is unlikely to operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available.
Mar 8, 2025
Fills stat sheet in tight loss
Herro recorded 22 points (9-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals across 39 minutes during Friday's 106-104 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Bam Adebayo was the best player for the Heat in this game, and even though Herro didn't have his best shooting performance, he still posted a solid line across the board. Herro has surpassed the 20-point mark in four of his last five outings and is averaging 24.0 points, 7.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game while shooting 31.9 percent from three-point range in eight contests since the All-Star break.
Mar 7, 2025
Cleared to play Friday
Herro (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will return to game action after missing Wednesday's loss to Cleveland due to the illness. The All-Star combo guard has averaged 24.3 points, 7.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 three-pointers across 35.7 minutes per game in seven outings since the All-Star break. He has shot only 41.7 percent from the field and 29.7 percent from beyond the arc in that seven-game span.
Mar 7, 2025
Expected to play Friday
Herro (illness) is warming up with the intention to play in Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Herro is officially listed as questionable Friday after missing Miami's previous contest due to an illness but is expected to suit up against Minnesota. If Herro is officially upgraded to available, he should reclaim his starting spot from Terry Rozier.
Mar 6, 2025
Iffy against Minnesota
Herro (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Herro is in danger of missing his second straight outing Friday due to an illness. If Herro is downgraded to out again, Terry Rozier will likely continue to start.
Mar 5, 2025
Ruled out Wednesday
Herro (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been arguably the Heat's best player this season, but he won't be available Wednesday due to an illness. Miami will likely pivot to Alec Burks and Terry Rozier to help shoulder the load in the backcourt.
Mar 5, 2025
Added to injury report
Herro is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Cleveland with a head cold, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was a very late addition to the injury report and was not present at the morning shootaround, so that doesn't bode well for his status. Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Jaime Jaquez (ankle) have already been ruled out and Davion Mitchell (quadriceps) is questionable, so the Heat may need to rely heavily on Alec Burks and Terry Rozier in the backcourt.
Mar 3, 2025
Posts 22 points in defeat
Herro accumulated 22 points (8-24 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and seven assists across 41 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 overtime loss to New York.
ANALYSIS
After going off for 40 points last week against the Bucks, Herro's scoring totals have settled into the 20-point range. Herro's success beyond the arc is directly tied to his fortunes, and he's converted just 23.7 percent of his three-point attempts over his last four games.
Mar 1, 2025
Leads Miami in scoring Friday
Herro finished Friday's 125-120 win over the Pacers with 29 points (11-25 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one block across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro led Miami in scoring Friday, logging his fourth 24-plus-point performance over his last five appearances. The sixth-year guard has also racked up seven or more assists in four of those five outings. The All-Star has averaged 26.4 points, 7.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 three-pointers and 1.0 steals across 26.6 minutes per game in that five-game span, though he has shot only 41.9 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from downtown.
Feb 27, 2025
Double-doubles in blowout win
Herro logged 24 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 131-109 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Herro carried the Heat on offense but also delivered excellent numbers as a playmaker, reaching double-digit dimes for the second time over his last three outings. The star guard is averaging 25.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game since the end of the All-Star break.
Feb 24, 2025
Will play Monday
Herro (shoulder) is available for Monday's matchup against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will shake off a probable tag due to right shoulder soreness and suit up Monday. The All-Star is coming off a 40-point performance during Sunday's loss to Milwaukee, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 27.4 points, 6.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 37.4 minutes per contest. However, he has shot only 25.0 percent from beyond the arc in that five-game span.
Feb 24, 2025
Probable against Atlanta
Herro is probable for Monday's game against Atlanta due to right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Herro erupted for 40 points (12-27 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 13-14 FT), seven rebounds and 11 assists over 40 minutes Sunday, but walked away from the game with a mild shoulder tweak. For now, the expectation is that Herro will be in the lineup for the second leg of this back-to-back set.
Feb 23, 2025
Matches season high with 40 points
Herro (shoulder) recorded 40 points (12-27 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 13-14 FT), seven rebounds and 11 assists over 40 minutes during Sunday's 120-113 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Albeit in a losing effort, Herro was spectacular while matching his season high with 40 points and falling just one assist shy of his season best Sunday. The star guard has taken over as Miami's clear-cut top scoring option in the aftermath of the Jimmy Butler trade, with Herro averaging 27.1 points, 7.0 assists, 5.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 37.2 minutes over his last seven games. However, Herro is shooting just 28.4 percent from three-point land during this span, so he may not be finding as many open looks from deep following Butler's departure.
Feb 23, 2025
Will play Sunday
Herro (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro has been upgraded from probable to available and will make a fourth straight appearance after missing a Feb. 10 contest against Boston. On Friday, Herro posted 28 points, seven assists, three rebounds and one block in 40 minutes during a 120-111 win over the Raptors.
Feb 22, 2025
Likely to play Sunday
Herro is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Bucks due to right shoulder soreness.
ANALYSIS
Herro is expected to make his fourth straight appearance Sunday despite dealing with a nagging shoulder injury. The star guard hasn't logged fewer than 30 minutes since Jan. 7, so he is unlikely to operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available.
Feb 22, 2025
Goes for 28 points in win
Herro amassed 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 40 minutes during Friday's 120-111 overtime win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Herro was coming off a 40-point masterpiece in the Heat's final game before the All-Star break, and the star shooting guard had another impressive outing in his return to the hardwood Friday. Herro, who participated in the 2025 All-Star Game, has scored 23 or more points in four of his last six outings and continues to have an impressive campaign. He's averaging 23.8 points per game while shooting 45.3 percent from the floor in 22 outings since the beginning of January.
Feb 21, 2025
Available Friday in Toronto
Herro (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, but that won't prevent him from being on the floor Friday for Miami. The rising star is having arguably his best season in the NBA with the Heat, averaging career-high numbers in points (23.9), rebounds (5.5) and assists (5.5) while shooting a career-high 46.5 percent from the floor.
Feb 20, 2025
Probable for Friday
Herro (shoulder) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Herro popped up on the injury report Thursday as he is dealing with soreness in his right shoulder. However, he's listed as probable, so he'll likely be on the floor Friday in Toronto. The reigning 3-Point champion is averaging a career-high 23.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, shooting a career-high 46.5 percent from the floor to go along with 38 percent from beyond the arc.
Feb 16, 2025
Hits two threes in All-Star Game
Herro registered six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and one assist over 7:57 of court time during Kenny's Young Stars' 41-32 loss to Chuck's Global Stars.
ANALYSIS
Herro won the 3-Point Contest on Saturday, and he was able to carry that over to the first round of the All-Star Game Tournament. His efforts weren't enough to help Team Kenny advance to the finals, but Herro will now turn his attention towards the final stretch of the regular season. The Heat will begin a three-game road trip against the Raptors on Friday.
Feb 15, 2025
Crowned 3-Point Champ
Herro defeated Golden State's Buddy Hield in the final round of Saturday's Starry 3-Point Contest, winning for the first time in his career and dethroning Damian Lillard.
ANALYSIS
Herro had a challenging path to winning the 3-Point Contest on Saturday in San Francisco, as he had to square off against some of the best three-point shooters in the league, from two-time 3-Point Contest champion Damian Lillard to Buddy Hield, Cameron Johnson, Norman Powell, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham and Darius Garland. However, the Heat star was red-hot in this contest, putting up 24 points in one round down the stretch and ultimately outlasting Hield, who had homecourt advantage, and Garland. The Kentucky product will now play in his first All-Star appearance on Sunday before getting back to work with Miami, where he's having arguably the best year of his career, averaging career-high numbers in points (23.9), rebounds (5.5) and assists (5.5) while shooting 38 percent from beyond the arc.
Feb 14, 2025
Ties season scoring high
Herro recorded a game-high 40 points (15-30 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard didn't get enough help to push a shorthanded Miami squad into the win column -- only three other Heat players even scored in double digits, led by Kel'el Ware's 17 -- but Herro still tied his season scoring high in a heroic solo effort. He's produced at least 30 points in three of his last eight appearances, averaging 23.1 points, 7.1 assists, 5.8 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch.
Feb 13, 2025
Scores 14 points in return
Herro amassed 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 115-101 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Herro returned following a one-game absence, and while he was unable to post the same numbers he's had throughout the season, at least he looked healthy enough to suit up and handle his regular workload. Herro should be available to play Thursday against the Mavericks in Miami's final game before the All-Star break.
Feb 12, 2025
Says he'll play Wednesday
Herro (illness) said he'll play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will shake off a questionable tag and return to action after missing Monday's loss to the Celtics due to an illness. Over his last eight appearances, Herro has averaged 22.1 points, 8.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 37.0 minutes per game. However, he's yet to play with Andrew Wiggins, who made his Heat debut versus Boston.
Feb 12, 2025
Intends to play Wednesday
Herro (illness) is warming up with the intention to play in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
It would appear to put Herro on the right side of the questionable tag with an illness Wednesday. However, the Heat will likely wait until the star guard goes through pregame warmups before officially updating his game status.
Feb 11, 2025
Questionable for Wednesday
Herro (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Herro remains day-to-day after being forced to sit Monday against the Celtics. Davion Mitchell started in his place Monday, finishing with four points, four assists and three rebounds in 23 minutes. It's likely that Miami waits to see how Herro looks at the morning shootaround before a decision is made.
Feb 10, 2025
Not playing Monday
Herro (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is dealing with a stomach bug, the same ailment that has also scratched Jaime Jaquez from Monday's game. Herro's absence provides an opportunity for newcomers Andrew Wiggins and Davion Mitchell to take on increased roles in Miami's gameplan alongside Terry Rozier, Duncan Robinson and Haywood Highsmith. Herro's will look to progress enough in his recovery to return Wednesday against the Thunder.
Feb 10, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Herro (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Herro was a very late addition to the injury report which isn't a good sign for his status. If Herro is unable to play Monday, he'll have two more chances to play this week prior to the All-Star break. Terry Rozier and Davion Mitchell could be asked to step up if Herro is held out Monday evening.
Feb 6, 2025
Puts up 30 points in win
Herro had 30 points (11-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 108-101 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Herro reached the 30-point plateau for the first time since Jan. 27 in a win over the Magic, and he finished just three rebounds and three assists away from recording a triple-double. The most consistent player on the Heat roster this season, Herro is averaging 23.6 points, 7.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 0.8 steals per game over his last 10 contests.
Feb 5, 2025
Teases triple-double in loss
Herro produced 23 points (5-15 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 10-11 FT), eight rebounds and nine assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 133-124 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old guard tied Bam Adebayo for the team scoring lead while coming up just short of his second career triple-double. Herro has taken on a much bigger distribution role for the Heat of late -- he's dished at least eight dimes in five of the last six games, averaging 22.0 points, 8.7 assists, 4.8 boards and 3.0 threes over that stretch to help make up for some shaky shooting (39.3 percent from the floor and 28.6 percent from long distance). While a Jimmy Butler trade could shake up Miami's rotation, Herro seems to be locking down the starting point guard job regardless of any potential roster additions.
Feb 2, 2025
Season-low 11 points in victory
Herro amassed 11 points (4-16 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 105-103 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro delivered a season-low 11 points while struggling to find his rhythm from beyond the arc. However, the 25-year-old did dish out eight assists in the victory. The All-Star has went through a bit of a rough stretch shooting the rock over his last five outings, during which he has shot 40.2 percent from the field and 28.8 percent from three-point range. Herro has still averaged 21.8 points, 8.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 37.2 minutes per contest in that five-game span.
Jan 30, 2025
Leads Miami in loss
Herro finished Wednesday's 126-106 loss to the Cavaliers with 22 points (9-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal across 34 minutes.
ANALYSIS
The star guard out of Kentucky filled the stat sheet while tying Terry Rozier for the team-high mark in points, albeit in a losing effort. Herro has taken huge steps forward through 45 regular-season appearances in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has racked up 32 outings with 20 or more points. Herro has scored 20-plus in nine of his last 10 outings, and he has averaged 25.9 points, 6.6 assists and 5.5 rebounds across 36.1 minutes per contest in that 10-game span.
Jan 28, 2025
Hands out 12 assists
Herro totaled 30 points (12-28 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, 12 assists and one block across 48 minutes during Monday's 125-119 double-overtime victory over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Herro recorded a career-high 12 assists in the win for his eighth career game with double-digit dimes. Jimmy Butler is suspended through the trade deadline for Miami and he's likely played his last game with the team, so Herro could see his fantasy value trend upwards for the foreseeable future.
Jan 25, 2025
Game-high 25 points Saturday
Herro had 25 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-97 victory over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Herro led both teams in scoring Saturday and tied Jalen Wilson for most assists in the contest. Herro has logged at least seven dimes in three straight outings and has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight appearances. Since the start of January, Herro has averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds over 35.4 minutes per game.
Jan 24, 2025
Leads team with nine assists
Herro (groin) provided 21 points (6-19 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and nine assists over 32 minutes during Thursday's 125-96 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
After missing his first game of the season in Tuesday's loss to Portland, Herro paced the Heat with nine assists and four three-pointers while falling a lone point shy of the team lead in the scoring column. With Jimmy Butler's (suspension) future with the Heat up in the air, Herro has taken over as Miami's top scoring option as he pushes for his first career All-Star recognition in 2024-25. Across his last seven appearances, Herro has averaged 26.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 4.3 three-pointers while shooting 41.7 percent from downtown.
Jan 23, 2025
Good to go Thursday
Herro (groin) is available for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will return to action after missing his first game of the year in Tuesday's loss to Portland. The star guard has recorded three outings with 30-plus points in his last five appearances, during which he has averaged 27.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 4.4 threes while shooting 55.1 percent from the floor in 34.8 minutes per contest.
Jan 22, 2025
Probable for Thursday
Herro (groin) is probable for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
After missing his first game of the season Tuesday against Portland, Herro is on track to return Thursday. Terry Rozier started in his absence Tuesday, but wasn't able to generate much offensively. During the month of January, Herro has compiled averages of 24.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.8 three-pointers.
Jan 21, 2025
Won't play against Portland
Herro (groin) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss his first game of the season Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to right groin soreness. Terry Rozier and Alec Burks are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Herro's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with Milwaukee.
Jan 21, 2025
Questionable for Tuesday
Herro is questionable for Tuesday's game versus Portland due to right groin soreness.
ANALYSIS
Herro was a very late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his status. He's been hot in January so far, posting averages of 24.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.8 three-pointers. If he's unable to play, Terry Rozier and Jimmy Butler would likely soak up a lot of usage, and Jaime Jaquez could be more involved as well.
Jan 18, 2025
Drops team-high 22
Herro amassed 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 133-113 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old guard produced his fifth straight game with 20-plus points and sank multiple threes in the seventh straight, and it's encouraging that Herro didn't see a significant drop in usage with Jimmy Butler back in the lineup. Through 10 games in January, Herro is averaging 24.7 points, 5.5 boards, 4.4 assists and 4.0 threes, and he figures to be the Heat's top outside scoring threat once a trade partner for Butler is finally found.
Jan 16, 2025
Continues to flourish
Herro finished with 34 points (12-18 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Herro's efficient shooting helped him record a team-high 34 points during Wednesday's loss. Although Jimmy Butler (suspension) could return to action in Miami's next outing, Herro's production shouldn't suffer greatly, as he has been able to maintain his prolific scoring on impressive efficiency with or without Butler in the lineup.
Jan 14, 2025
Comes close to triple-double
Herro finished with 32 points (9-20 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 109-98 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro posted a second straight 32-point performance Monday and also finished just three assists away from a triple-double. The star guard, who's making a strong case to earn an All-Star nod, has been very prolific in recent weeks. He's averaging 23.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game across eight January appearances while shooting 37.3 percent from three-point range.
Jan 12, 2025
Top scorer in victory Saturday
Herro had 32 points (11-22 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 119-98 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Herro recorded a game-high mark in points while sinking five-plus triples for the 10th time this season. The sixth-year pro has emerged as the clear top option for the Heat this season, and he delivered a stellar performance following a four-game stretch in which he shot only 38.2 percent from the field. In seven outings during January, Herro has averaged 22.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists while shooting 43.5 percent from the field in 35.6 minutes per contest.
Jan 10, 2025
Another stellar showing
Herro racked up 23 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 97-92 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Herro surpassed the 20-point mark just for the second time over his last five games, but a relatively subpar stretch shouldn't erase how good the star guard has been this season. He's averaging 21.2 points per game while shooting 42.2 percent from the floor since the beginning of January. Putting things into perspective, that's his lowest scoring average on a per-month basis this season.
Jan 7, 2025
Good to go against Golden State
Herro (knee) is available and in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left knee contusion. The 24-year-old guard is averaging 23.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 37.2 minutes across his last 10 outings.
Jan 7, 2025
Questionable for Tuesday
Herro is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Herro played 49 minutes during Monday's overtime loss to the Kings and may have to sit out the second half of Miami's back-to-back set, which would be a huge blow to a squad already playing without Jimmy Butler (suspension). If Herro is sidelined, Terry Rozier, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez will all see increased usage.
Jan 7, 2025
Goes for 26 points Monday
Herro finished with 26 points (11-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 49 minutes during Monday's 123-118 double-overtime loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The Heat fell short Monday in what turned out to be an epic double-overtime thriller against a surging Kings team, but Herro notched another impressive stat line. The star guard, who's making a strong case to be selected to the 2025 All-Star Game, has now scored more than 25 points in four of his last six games while posting career-best figures in several caregories.
Jan 3, 2025
Scores 17 points Thursday
Herro amassed 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes during Thursday's 128-115 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro saw the end of his four-game streak with at least 20 points in a game where the Heat struggled to get things going offensively. However, one low-scoring outing (for his standards) shouldn't generate any sort of worry in fantasy managers. Herro is having a career-best season in 2024-25 and is averaging 24.6 points per game since the beginning of December.
Jan 2, 2025
Nails five triples in victory
Herro notched 32 points (11-22 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and four assists over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 119-108 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro was Miami's leading scorer during Wednesday's win over New Orleans. The 24-year-old guard has developed into one of the NBA's best outside shooters, converting 41.0 percent of his 9.7 three-point attempts per contest. Herro's 123 three-pointers made this season rank fourth in the entire league.
Dec 29, 2024
Tossed from Sunday's game
Herro was ejected late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against Houston, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro got into an altercation with Amen Thompson with less than a minute to go in regulation, and the duo were thrown out of the game along with Terry Rozier and Jalen Green. Herro will end his night with 27 points, nine assists and six rebounds over 37 minutes.
Dec 29, 2024
Comes close to triple-double
Herro produced 28 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds and 10 assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 120-110 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Herro surpassed the 25-point mark for the first time since a Dec. 20 loss to the Thunder, and he remains extremely productive as a scoring weapon since he's scored 20 or more points in seven of his last eight contests. Herro also finished just three boards shy of recording a triple-double. He's already delivering enough value across all fantasy formats with a career-best season as a scorer, but adding solid numbers in other peripheral categories will only boost his upside even further.
Dec 26, 2024
Hits game-winning shot Thursday
Herro registered 20 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), ;three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 89-88 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro paced Miami on Thursday with a team-high 20 points, which was second-most in the game behind Orlando's Jalen Suggs (29). Herro helped propel the Heat's 17-point comeback and provided the exclamation point when he hit an 18-foot jumpshot with just 0.5 seconds left to play. Since and including Dec. 1, Herro has averaged 24.1 points on 47.9 percent shooting (including 39.3 percent from three on 9.7 3PA/G), 6.3 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 35.1 minutes per game.
Dec 23, 2024
Nearly records second triple-double
Herro registered 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and one block over 39 minutes during Monday's 110-95 victory over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Herro was one assist shy from registering the second triple-double of his NBA career, with his first taking place during the 2022-23 regular season. Herro wasn't the most efficient from the field Monday, and while his streak of 20-plus points in a game stopped at five games, his nine assists were his second-most of the season. Since and including Dec. 1, Herro has averaged 24.5 points on 48.0 percent shooting, 6.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists across 35.4 minutes per game.
Dec 21, 2024
Keeps impressive run alive
Herro contributed 22 points (7-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro didn't have the most efficient performance from a shooting perspective, but the six-year guard continues to play a pivotal role on offense for Miami. Enjoying an uptick in his usage rate with Jimmy Butler (illness) sidelined, Herro scored at least 20 points for the fifth game in a row. He's also achieved this feat nine times over his previous 11 appearances amid what has been a career-best season for the former Kentucky standout.
Dec 21, 2024
Posts double-double
Herro racked up 28 points (11-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
The Heat had to spend most of the game without Jimmy Butler (illness) and Bam Adebayo also missed time during the second half due to a cut above his left eye, meaning Herro was forced to carry the team offensively over prolonged stretches. The star guard, who's having a career-best season in 2024-25, delivered and stepped up, though. This was Herro's fourth straight game with at least 20 points, and he's reached that mark in 17 of his 25 appearances this season.
Dec 17, 2024
Struggles from deep
Herro finished Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Pistons with 23 points (9-25 FG, 4-17 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 41 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro had one of his worst shooting games of the season Monday while also recording his fewest assists since Nov. 2. Still, the 24-year-old guard is converting 41.3 percent of his 10.1 three-point attempts per contest this season and is averaging 4.8 assists.
Dec 13, 2024
Another 20-point performance
Herro ended Thursday's 114-104 victory over the Raptors with 23 points (9-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the games between Dec. 2 and Dec. 8, and it seems he's picking things right where he left them off. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his previous eight appearances and has reached the 30-point plateau three times in that span. Herro is having a career-best season and is averaging a robust 24.2 points per game in 2024-25.
Dec 8, 2024
Catches fire in third quarter
Herro chipped in 34 points (10-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 122-113 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Herro caught fire in the third quarter Sunday, scoring 19 of his game-high 34 points during this period to help power the Heat past Cleveland. The star guard has been the top scoring option in Miami's offense throughout the first quarter of the season, and over his last 11 outings, he's averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 4.0 three-pointers in 36.0 minutes per game. Herro's impact may not be as pronounced in the defensive categories, but he should remain a stable source of points, threes and assists going forward while handling the ball even more in the first unit with Terry Rozier still riding with the second unit.
Dec 3, 2024
Inefficient 19 points Monday
Herro produced 19 points (6-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 108-89 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Herro served as one of Miami's top scoring options in the absence of star swingman Jimmy Butler (knee), tying with teammate Jaime Jaquez Jr. for a team-high 19 points, but his showing also required 19 field-goal attempts to attain. The 24-year-old star combo guard has now scored at least 18 points in each of his last 14 appearances for the Heat, however, averaging 24.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 4.2 three-pointers in 37.0 minutes per game during this period. If Butler remains out of action for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers, Herro will figure to handle the heavy lifting on offense with an increase in ball-handling and playmaking responsibilities once again.
Dec 2, 2024
Misses key three in loss
Herro ended with 31 points (9-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
While Herro's three-pointer to tie the game came up short, his superb line was a fantasy bonanza with solid results in every major category. Herro's six drilled threes were impressive, and his upside definitely resides beyond the arc, where he attempts almost 10 shots per game at a conversion crate of 41.9 percent.
Nov 30, 2024
Scores 23 points
Herro logged 23 points (8-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 121-111 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Herro has scored at least 20 points in all but four of his 13 appearances in November, and he's been the most consistent scoring threat for the Heat over the last few weeks. He's averaging 24.0 points per game while shooting a solid 40.8 percent from beyond the arc in November.
Nov 27, 2024
Scores 18 in 40 minutes
Herro produced 18 points (5-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to play a massive role for the shorthanded Heat, and he's now seen at least 38 minutes in four of his last six games. During that stretch, Herro has posted third-round value in nine-category formats, averaging 23.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 4.2 three-pointers.
Nov 19, 2024
Solid showing Monday
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 17, 2024
Lights it up from deep in defeat
Herro closed Sunday's 119-110 loss to Indiana with 28 points (8-18 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro dominated offensively in Sunday's contest, leading all players in threes made while leading the Heat in scoring in a near-30-point performance. Herro has connected on at least seven threes in two of his last three outings and has connected on at least two shots from deep in every outing this year. Herro has contributed at least 25 points in six contests.
Nov 15, 2024
Scores 20 points vs. Indiana
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.
ANALYSIS
Herro wasn't the most 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.
Nov 14, 2024
Playing through shoulder bruise
Herro is listed as available for Friday's game versus the Pacers despite having a right shoulder contusion.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 12, 2024
Season-high 40 points in loss
Herro notched 40 points (14-27 FG, 10-17 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and four steals across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Herro caught fire from beyond the arc while setting an NBA Cup record with 10 made threes. He also set a season high in both points and steals in the loss. The sharpshooter has been spectacular in the 2024-25 campaign, during which he has averaged 24.9 points, 5.3 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 0.7 steals across 33.5 minutes per game in 10 regular-season outings. Herro has shot 50.9 percent from the field and 47.9 percent from downtown thus far.
Nov 11, 2024
Drops game-high 26 in win
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 9, 2024
Season-high 11 assists
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Nov 8, 2024
Listed as available for Friday
Herro is dealing with a lower back contusion but is listed as available for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
This is a new injury for Herro, but it appears minor. He has not missed a game this season and is on a hot streak, scoring at least 27 points in three of his last four appearances. During that stretch, Herro has averaged 26.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 31.0 minutes per game.
Nov 7, 2024
Catches fire against Suns
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.
ANALYSIS
On a night where 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.
Nov 5, 2024
Strong production in narrow loss
Herro amassed 27 points (9-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
This was Herro's second-highest point total of the season and the third time he's surpassed 20 points through six games. Despite the inconsistent production, Herro is averaging 21.8 points per game, which would be a career-high mark.

Goes for 34 points in loss
Herro ended with 34 points (12-20 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro had his best performance of the young season by a wide margin, putting up season-high marks in points and assists while tying his best output in the rebounding category. The Heat have endured a rough start to the season on the offensive end of the floor, but Herro has been putting up strong numbers, averaging 22.3 points per game and shooting an impressive 43.2 percent from deep through four contests.
Oct 23, 2024
Part of first unit
Herro will start Wednesday's regular-season opener against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will open the 2024-25 campaign at the shooting guard spot for the Heat. The 24-year-old will be flanked by Terry Rozier, Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic and Bam Adebayo against the Magic. Herro averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last season.
Oct 22, 2024
Will play Wednesday
Herro (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro is good to go for the regular season after sitting out the preseason finale for rest purposes. Herro has struggled to stay healthy in the early stages of his career, but he's averaged at least 20 points, five rebounds and four assists in three straight campaigns.
Oct 17, 2024
Won't play Friday
Herro is out for Friday's preseason game versus the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will sit out Miami's preseason finale alongside most of the team's starters. The 24-year-old guard should be good to go for the Heat's regular-season opener against Orlando on Oct. 23.
Oct 16, 2024
Scores 19 points vs. Atlanta
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 13, 2024
Solid outing in preseason debut
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 13, 2024
Available Sunday vs. New Orleans
Herro (groin) is available for Sunday's preseason game versus the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will make his return to game action after sustaining a groin strain that held him out of Tuesday's preseason-opening win against the Hornets. The sharpshooter was able to put up shots without an issue during Friday's shootaround, though it is unlikely he will receive a full workload in his return to preseason action.
Oct 11, 2024
Practices Friday
Herro (groin) was active during Friday's practice and put up shots afterwards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is dealing with a groin strain that held him out of Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets. While the sharpshooter is not 100 percent, he is expected to be fully available for Opening Night against the Magic. Herro's next chance to feature during the preseason will come Sunday versus the Pelicans.
Oct 7, 2024
Dealing with groin strain
Herro won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets due to a right groin strain.
ANALYSIS
Herro is coming off an injury-plagued 2023-24 campaign, during which he made a career-low 42 regular-season appearances. 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.
May 2, 2024
Ends season plagued by struggles
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.
ANALYSIS
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 Association.
Apr 28, 2024
Poor shooting effort in Game 3
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.
ANALYSIS
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 in that span.
Apr 24, 2024
Leads offensively in double-double
Herro posted 24 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 assists, five rebounds and one steal over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 111-101 win over Boston in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
ANALYSIS
Herro stepped up big for Miami in a bounce-back win in Game 2, leading all players in the contest in threes made and assists while leading all Heat players in scoring in an impressive outing. Herro set a season-high in assists for any Miami player this year, tying the second-most dimes by a Heat player in a playoff game in team history. Miami will need Herro to continue to step up offensively, especially with Jimmy Butler (knee) inactive.
Apr 19, 2024
Wills team to victory
Herro accumulated 24 points (8-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 112-91 Play-In Game victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Herro was the star of the show in this one, and while he didn't have a great shooting night by any means, he had a more controlled approach after knocking down nine of 27 attempts from the field Tuesday against the 76ers. The Kentucky product did much more than score in the win, falling just one assist shy of a triple-double. The Heat will need more performances like this from Herro heading into the team's opening-round series against the Celtics.
Apr 18, 2024
Leads Heat in scoring in loss
Herro registered 25 points (9-27 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and nine assists over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 105-104 Play-In Game loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Herro might have needed 27 shots to score 25 shots, but the uptick in usage rate happened since Jimmy Butler suffered a knee injury in the first quarter, which limited him considerably, and Bam Adebayo had a rough matchup with Joel Embiid. Herro has reached the 20-point mark in four of his last six outings, and considering Butler will miss Friday's win-or-go-home matchup against the Bulls, he should be in line for another heavy usage rate vs. Chicago.
Apr 14, 2024
Stuffs stat sheet in win Sunday
Herro ended Sunday's 118-103 victory over the Raptors with 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 29 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro delivered a solid outing Sunday and finished just two dimes away from a double-double, playing a prominent role on offense as the Heat wrapped up their regular season with a comfortable win over the Raptors. Herro's workload in the Play-In matchup against the 76ers on Wednesday could be determined by the availability of Terry Rozier (neck), but he should find himself in the starting lineup either way. Herro has scored 17 or more points in his six appearances this month.
Apr 10, 2024
Available for Wednesday's game
Herro (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against Dallas, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro saw plenty of work in Tuesday's win over Atlanta, tallying 33 points, five rebounds and four assists in 48 minutes. He's appeared in only three matchups since returning from a 20-game absence due to a foot injury, and he suggested Tuesday that he could sit Wednesday. He'll suit up against Dallas, but it's possible the Heat choose to manage his workload Wednesday and in their final two regular-season games.
Apr 10, 2024
Uncertain against Dallas
Herro suggested Tuesday that the Heat may plan on sitting him out for Wednesday's game versus the Mavericks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro logged 48 minutes and scored a team-high 33 points in Tuesday's double-overtime win over the Hawks. While the 23-year-old guard didn't suffer any injury, Miami could opt to sit him out for the second leg of their back-to-back Wednesday after recently returning from a 20-game absence due to a foot injury.
Apr 9, 2024
Enters starting lineup
Herro will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Terry Rozier (neck) and Duncan Robinson (back) are out for Miami, so it's not a surprise to see Herro get the starting nod. He's likely to see a ton of usage in a fast-paced game against the Hawks Tuesday night.
Apr 7, 2024
Leads from deep in 20-point game
Herro chipped in 21 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro led all Heat players in threes made to go along with a handful of rebounds and ending as one of four players with 20 or more points to provide a needed spark on the Miami second unit. Since his return from a 20-game absence due to right medial foot tendinitis, Herro recorded at least 17 points and five rebounds in two straight outings off the bench.
Apr 6, 2024
Turns in gem off bench in return
Herro (foot) tallied 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six assists and five rebounds across 25 minutes in Friday's 119-104 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Aside from uncharacteristically poor free-throw shooting and a lack of defensive production, Herro's line was about as solid as fantasy managers could have hoped, considering that he was on a minutes limit while coming off the bench in his return from a 20-game absence due to right medial foot tendinitis. The Heat likely have him earmarked for the starting role at shooting guard that went to Duncan Robinson on Friday, but it may take another game or two for Herro to recapture a spot on the top unit while he regains full conditioning following the lengthy layoff.
Apr 5, 2024
Will play off bench Friday
Herro (foot) will play Friday against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will make his return following a 20-game absence due to right foot medial tendinitis, but he's expected to operate off the bench and be limited against Houston, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Across 38 appearances this season, Herro has averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.
Apr 5, 2024
Officially questionable for Friday
Herro (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last 20 games due to right foot medial tendinitis, but the Heat have been optimistic that he'll return to action Friday. The team will presumably monitor how he feels in the hours leading up to tipoff before determining his status, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him face a minutes restriction if he's available. However, Herro's impending return should allow him to build up ahead of the playoffs.
Apr 4, 2024
Could return Friday
There is "optimism" that Herro (foot) could return to action for Friday's game against the Rockets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been sidelined since Feb. 23 due to a right foot issue, but the guard is traveling with the Heat on their three-game road trip and could get the green light to suit up versus Houston. His potential return would be a big boost for Miami, and it appears that he'll have a decent window to get in plenty of reps before the playoffs.
Apr 3, 2024
Another absence coming
Herro (foot) won't play in Thursday's game versus the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro's absence streak will extend to 20 games Thursday while dealing with a right foot injury. The 23-year-old guard's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Houston.
Apr 1, 2024
Will remain sidelined Tuesday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been dealing with a foot injury in recent weeks and will be unavailable for a 19th consecutive game Tuesday. It's not yet clear when he'll return to action, but his next chance to do so will be Thursday against the 76ers.
Mar 30, 2024
Remains out Sunday
Herro (foot) is out to face the Wizards on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to deal with a nagging foot injury and is set to miss an 18th consecutive contest. Herro's next chance to play will come against the Knicks on Tuesday,
Mar 28, 2024
Remains out Friday
Herro (foot) won't play in Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro's absence streak will extend to 16 games Friday due to right foot tendinitis. However, the 23-year-old guard is ramping up toward a return, with Sunday's matchup with Washington being his next chance to take the floor.
Mar 28, 2024
Ramping up, still no timetable
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Herro (foot) has progressed to the next stage of his rehab and is beginning to ramp up his conditioning, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was present and getting shots up during the media portion of Thursday's practice, but his status for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers remains unclear. The sharpshooter has missed 15 straight games due to right foot tendinitis, so even if he gets the green light soon, he will likely be limited for at least a few games to avoid a setback. However, it sounds like Herro is on track to be 100 percent by the time the Play-In Tournament begins, which begins April 16.
Mar 25, 2024
Remains out
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed 15 straight games due to right foot tendinitis. He's due for another evaluation soon, and he'll have a few more days to rest before his next chance to suit up, which comes Friday versus Portland.
Mar 16, 2024
Out at least another week
Herro (foot) received a platelet-rich plasma injection Friday on his right foot and will re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has already missed Miami's last 10 contests with a right foot injury and is now set to be sidelined for at least another week. Duncan Robinson will likely continue to start in his absence. There is still optimism that Herro can return to action before the end of the regular season.
Mar 13, 2024
No return timetable
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Wednesday that Herro, who remains out due to right foot tendinitis, doesn't have a return timetable, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro hasn't played since Feb. 23, but Spoelstra said the shooting guard is "doing everything he needs to do," so it doesn't sound like a setback occurred. However, Herro will likely remain out for at least a few more games, barring a return to practice. Following Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Miami begins a four-game road trip, which starts Friday in Detroit and ends March 20 in Cleveland. It's unclear if Herro will travel with the team during that trip.
Mar 12, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Herro (foot) will be inactive Wednesday against Denver, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has not played since Feb. 23 due to right foot tendonitis, with his next opportunity to take the court coming Friday versus Detroit. Being ruled out more than 24 hours in advance of Wednesday's contest does not indicate that a return is imminent, however.
Mar 9, 2024
Another absence coming
Herro (foot) Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald in Sunday's game versus the Wizards, Anthony reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro's absence streak will extend to eight games Sunday due to right foot tendinitis. While there is no timetable for his return, Herro's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Denver.
Mar 6, 2024
Out next two games
Herro (knee) isn't traveling with the team for their next two games against the Mavericks on Thursday and the Thunder on Friday, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss his sixth and seventh straight games during Miami's next back-to-back due to left knee soreness. Duncan Robinson should continue to start in his absence. Herro's next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with Washington.
Mar 4, 2024
Won't play Tuesday
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday will mark Herro's fifth consecutive game on the sidelines, and with Miami's next two coming as a Thursday-Friday, back-to-back set, it wouldn't be shocking to see Herro miss at least one more game moving forward. Duncan Robinson will continue to benefit in Herro's absence.
Mar 2, 2024
Downgraded to out
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss a fourth straight game due to a hyperextended left knee. An MRI revealed no structural damage, and he's been listed as questionable for Miami's last two games, so it appears Herro will be back sooner rather than later. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus the Pistons.
Mar 1, 2024
Iffy against Utah
Herro (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Herro is in danger of missing his fourth straight matchup Saturday due to a hyperextended left knee. If Herro is ruled out yet again, Duncan Robinson will likely remain in the starting lineup.
Feb 29, 2024
Remains out for Thursday's game
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to deal with a hyperextended left knee and will be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup. However, he recently underwent an MRI that revealed no structural damage. His next chance to suit up will be Saturday against the Jazz, while Terry Rozier, Caleb Martin and Delon Wright could see additional playing time Thursday.
Feb 28, 2024
Questionable for Thursday
Herro (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the past two games for Miami, and his minutes have been absorbed by Terry Rozier, Caleb Martin and Delon Wright. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Thursday, but we'll have a better idea on his status following shootaround.
Feb 27, 2024
Remains out Tuesday
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is dealing with a hyperextended left knee and will miss a second consecutive game, but an MRI showed no structural damage. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Denver, while Terry Rozier (knee), who's been cleared to suit up following a four-game absence, should soak up most of Herro's missing minutes versus Portland.
Feb 26, 2024
Ruled out Monday
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro and Terry Rozier (knee) have both been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Jimmy Butler (suspension), Nikola Jovic (suspension), Thomas Bryant (suspension) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) on the sidelines. Herro's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Portland, while Duncan Robinson, Delon Wright and Jaime Jaquez are candidates for increased roles versus Sacramento.
Feb 25, 2024
Questionable for Monday
Herro (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Herro hyperextended his left knee during the fourth quarter of Friday's win over the Pelicans, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available against Sacramento. If he's sidelined, Duncan Robinson and Terry Rozier (knee) are candidates to see increased playing time.
Feb 24, 2024
Traveling with team
Herro (knee) is traveling with the team on their west coast trip, which begins with Monday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro had an injury scare on his left knee at the end of Friday's win over New Orleans. However, the 23-year-old guard appears to have avoided a serious injury, and his traveling with the team is a good sign of his availability against Sacramento.
Feb 24, 2024
Injured in Friday's win
Herro suffered a knee injury and had to leave Friday's win over the Pelicans. He said after the contest: "I think structurally everything was good. No major, even minor damage. I think everything is good. It kind of just scared me more than anything," Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
This game certainly wasn't hurting for drama, as there was a scuffle between the two teams along with what initially looked to be a nasty injury to Herro, but apparently the player isn't as concerned as things initially may have seemed. The Heat are off until Monday, giving Herro extra time to heal if indeed it is a minor issue. Herro did chip in 15 points and six rebounds in 31 minutes before departing.
Feb 23, 2024
Good to go against New Orleans
Herro (foot) is available for Friday's gamme versus the Pelicans, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with a right foot injury. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 assists and 4.8 rebounds in 32.4 minutes across his last five outings.
Feb 22, 2024
Questionable for Friday
Herro is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a right foot injury, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro appeared in each of Miami's final five games before the All-Star break, but he's dealing with a foot issue following the layoff. If he's unable to suit up, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez could see increased run for the Heat.
Feb 12, 2024
Scores 24 points in loss
Herro produced 24 points (10-21 FG, 4-12 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes during Sunday's 110-106 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Herro posted his second consecutive game with 24 points, and the sharpshooter has reached the 20-point plateau in back-to-back games for the first time since mid-January. Herro is averaging 19.3 points per game while shooting 40.6 percent from three-point range since the beginning of January, and he should remain a key cog in Miami's offensive scheme due to his ability to stretch the floor and knock down shots from beyond the arc.
Feb 8, 2024
Stuffs stat sheet in win
Herro ended with 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds and seven assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-104 win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro led the Heat in scoring in this win over the Spurs and was deadly with his shot, both from inside the arc but also from three-point range. Herro also delivered a much-needed bounce-back performance, as he reached the 20-point plateau for the first time since Jan. 19. He's averaging 17.7 points while shooting 46.8 percent from the field in his three games this month.
Feb 7, 2024
Returns with 14 points Tuesday
Herro closed Tuesday's 121-95 win over the Magic with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists in 26 minutes.
ANALYSIS
After missing the prior game due to migraines, Herro was one of seven Heat players to score in double digits Tuesday. The fifth-year guard has drained multiple three-pointers in 12 straight contests, averaging 18.2 points, 5.3 boards, 3.8 assists and 3.4 threes over that stretch. His streak of games with at least one made trey stands at 23.
Feb 6, 2024
Will play Tuesday
Herro (migraine) will play Tuesday against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro has been upgraded from probable to available and will play after being a late scratch ahead of Sunday's loss to the Clippers. It's been a struggle for Herro since the Terry Rozier addition, averaging just 16.1 points on 38.3 percent shooting over his last seven appearances.
Feb 5, 2024
Probable for Tuesday
Herro (head) is probable for Tuesday's game against Orlando, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was a late scratch for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a migraine, but he's trending towards a return against Orlando. With Herro expected back, Josh Richardson will likely head back to the bench for Miami.
Feb 4, 2024
Ruled out for Sunday's game
Herro (headache) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro was listed in Miami's initial starting lineup for Sunday's game but was replaced by Josh Richardson due to a headache. Herro was ruled out minutes before tipoff, and Richardson should see increased run. Herro's next chance to play will be Tuesday against Orlando.
Feb 4, 2024
Not starting Sunday
Herro has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a headache and won't start, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Just a few minutes after Herro was listed in the starting lineup, he was downgraded to questionable due to a headache. Josh Richardson will replace Herro in the starting lineup, but it remains unclear if the latter will be able to play at all.
Feb 1, 2024
Teases triple-double Wednesday
Herro recorded 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The 16 combined boards and dimes were his highest total since Nov. 3, when the fifth-year guard came one assist short of his second career triple-double. Herro hasn't reached 20 points in six straight games, and he'll try to find another gear in February after averaging 18.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.4 threes and 0.8 steals through 15 games in January.
Jan 30, 2024
Drains five threes Monday
Herro racked up 17 points (5-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 34 minutes during Monday's 118-105 loss to Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year guard continues to rain in threes. Herro has recorded multiple made three-pointers in nine straight games, averaging 19.4 points, 5.3 boards, 3.8 treys and 3.2 assists over that stretch, and so far the addition of Terry Rozier to the Heat lineup hasn't impacted his role or volume.
Jan 26, 2024
Drains five threes in loss
Herro accumulated 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 143-110 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
The fifth-year guard has looked good since missing a game in mid-January due to a minor shoulder issue. Herro has drained multiple threes in seven straight games since rejoining the lineup, averaging 20.0 points, 5.9 boards, 3.6 threes and 3.1 assists over that stretch. New backcourt partner Terry Rozier is less distribution-minded than Kyle Lowry was, and while it's not yet clear if Herro will assume more of those duties, his six assists Thursday did lead the Heat.
Jan 21, 2024
Leader from deep in double figures
Herro contributed 12 points (4-14 FG, 4-11 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 105-87 loss to the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro led all players in Sunday's contest in threes made while ending as one of four Heat players with a double-digit point total in a losing effort. Herro has connected on four or more threes in 14 games, including in four of his last five contests. Herro has reached double figures in scoring in all but two games this year.
Jan 21, 2024
Officially available
Herro (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro sheds his injury designation of a right shoulder sprain without missing a contest. The 24-year-old has averaged 22.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists on 19.0 shots and 46.1 percent shooting across his last four games.
Jan 20, 2024
Expected to play Sunday
Herro is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Magic due to a right shoulder sprain.
ANALYSIS
Despite dealing with a shoulder injury, Herro is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest. The 23-year-old guard is averaging 21.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.8 minutes across his last five appearances.
Jan 20, 2024
Goes for 25 points in loss
Herro chipped in 25 points (10-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 109-108 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Herro has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last four games since missing the Jan. 12 loss to the Magic, and for the fifth time in the current month alone. Herro has managed to remain a reliable scoring weapon for the Heat despite sharing the offensive load with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, and even if he's sometimes deployed as a third option, he's averaging 19.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in nine January contests.
Jan 16, 2024
Notches second double-double
Herro chipped in 29 points (11-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Monday's 96-95 overtime win over Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Herro registered his second double-double of the season, with his first coming Nov. 3 against the Wizards. He was second on the team in scoring behind Jimmy Butler and second in rebounding behind Bam Adebayo. Herro has scored 20-plus points in three of his last four games, although he is shooting 39.4 percent from the field in January.
Jan 15, 2024
Leads form deep in return
Herro racked up 21 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 104-87 victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Herro returned after missing the previous game with a shoulder injury, leading all Heat players in threes made while ending as one of two players with 20 or more points in a winning effort. Herro has connected on four or more threes in 11 games this year, scoring 20 or more points in all of those contests. He has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his last five outings.
Jan 14, 2024
Good to go Sunday
Herro (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will return to action following a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury. Kyle Lowry (hand) is also available, while Kevin Love (knee) and Jimmy Butler (toe) are out. Over his last 11 appearances, Herro has averaged 22.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.
Jan 13, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Herro is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Hornets due to a shoulder injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Friday's win over the Magic, and it sounds as if he might miss out again. If that's the case, then Duncan Robinson could be in line to make another start at shooting guard.
Jan 12, 2024
Downgraded to out
Herro (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his first game since Dec. 16. Jimmy Butler (toe) and Kyle Lowry (hand) are also out, so Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez should continue to see increased roles versus Orlando. Herro's next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus Charlotte.
Jan 12, 2024
Downgraded to doubtful
Herro (shoulder) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful and will likely miss his first game since Dec. 16. Jimmy Butler (toe) and Kyle Lowry (hand) are also doubtful, so it's unclear what Miami will do at point guard, but Caleb Martin (ankle) is expected to suit up for the first time since Dec. 25.
Jan 11, 2024
Deemed questionable for Friday
Herro is questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic due to a shoulder injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro presumably tweaked his shoulder in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder but was still able to play 36 minutes. If Herro is ruled out, Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson are candidates to receive increased playing time.
Jan 9, 2024
Bounces back with 28 points
Herro posted 28 points (10-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and three rebounds across 34 minutes in Monday's 120-113 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
After being held to nine points on 4-for-17 shooting from the field in the Heat's 113-97 loss to the Suns on Friday, Herro rediscovered his shooting touch following a two-day layoff. He finished as the Heat's high scorer on the night, and he and center Bam Adebayo could continue to remain the team's go-to options for the foreseeable future while jimmy Butler (toe) is without a definitive target date for his return. Kyle Lowry (hand) also exited Monday's contest early and didn't return, so Herro could end up seeing more on-ball opportunities Wednesday versus the Thunder if Lowry is unable to play.
Jan 4, 2024
Leads team with 21 points
Herro ended with 21 points (7-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Herro hit four three-pointers in the win, effectively negating an otherwise mediocre shooting performance. The Heat struggled with shooting for the first three quarters but held a huge rally in the fourth led by Duncan Robinson. Herro's usage will remain high while Jimmy Butler (foot) is absent from the starting lineup.
Dec 31, 2023
Drops 25 points in defeat
Herro amassed 25 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Herro wasn't shy about shooting the rock Saturday, as he attempted a team-high 22 field-goal attempts. In that context, his 25 points wasn't ultra impressive, but the fifth-year guard helped keep the game close after Jimmy Butler departed with a foot injury in the third quarter. Herro has played six contests since returning from an ankle injury that resulted in an 18-game absence, and he's scored at least 22 points in every outing since his return. During the six-game stretch, he's averaged 26.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 3.5 triples and 1.0 steals over 35.2 minutes.
Dec 29, 2023
Shines against Warriors
Herro posted 26 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-102 victory over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Herro led the way for the Heat in this surprisingly comfortable win over Golden State, and he has embraced the role of being Miami's primary offensive weapon with Jimmy Butler (calf) sidelined. Herro is averaging 26.2 points per game since returning from an ankle injury on Dec. 18.
Dec 23, 2023
Explodes for 30 points
Herro supplied 30 points (11-21 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 122-113 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Herro embraced a more prominent role on offense with Jimmy Butler (calf) sidelined, and he was instrumental in lifting Miami to victory here. He returned from injury just three games ago but has been massive for the Heat, scoring at least 25 points in each of those contests and shooting a blistering 50 percent from three-point range.
Dec 21, 2023
Leads team to win Wednesday
Herro produced a game-high 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
With Jimmy Butler (calf) getting the night off, Herro stepped up and led the Heat in scoring in just his second game back from a nearly six-week absence due to an ankle injury. The fifth-year guard has hit for at least 25 points in back-to-back games since his return, and while he's suited up for only 10 contests so far in 2023-24, Herro is averaging career highs in points, assists, steals, field-goal percentage and three-point percentage as he looks to take his game to the next level.
Dec 19, 2023
Top scorer in return from injury
Herro chipped in 25 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 112-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Herro returned for the first time since Nov. 8 while dealing with a right ankle sprain, jumping right back into action as a starter while leading all Heat players in scoring along with a team-high-tying steals mark. Herro has tallied at least 25 points in five games this season, his first such performance since scoring 30 points Nov. 1 against Brooklyn.
Dec 18, 2023
Starting inreturn
Herro is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Herro will debut with the starters for his first game action since Nov. 8. Duncan Robbinson will shift to the bench, even with Kyle Lowry (soreness/rest) out Monday. Herro has averaged 20.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 75 games as a starter dating back to the beginning of last season.
Dec 17, 2023
Available Monday
Herro has been removed from the injury report in advance of Monday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Herro a set to return from an 18-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Kyle Lowry (rest/soreness) has been ruled out for Monday's game, so Miami won't quite be at full strength, but Herro and Bam Adebayo (hip) will both return from extended absences. The re-introduction of Herro's workload will be worth monitoring, as Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez and Josh Richardson will likely each see a slight reduction in usage.
Dec 14, 2023
Targeting return next week
Herro (ankle), who has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Chicago, is targeting a return Monday against the Timberwolves or Wednesday against the Magic, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to deal with a right ankle sprain that has sidelined him for multiple weeks, and he's been ramping up his work behind the scenes. While he'll remain sidelined for Saturday's rematch against the Bulls, he hopes to return sometime in the first half of next week.
Dec 14, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Herro (ankle) is out for Thursday's game versus the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Herro's absence streak will extend to 17 games Thursday due to a right ankle sprain. While he has been participating in individual drills, the 23-year-old guard has yet to log a full-contact practice. Herro's next chance to suit up is Saturday's rematch with Chicago.
Dec 13, 2023
Nearing return
Herro (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, but he could return within the next week, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss his 16th straight matchup Wednesday, but he's been participating in individual drills recently and could return to game action soon. The Heat haven't offered a definitive timetable for Herro's return, so things are still blurry, and fantasy managers should proceed with caution. Following Wednesday's contest, Miami ends Week 8 with back-to-back home games versus Chicago on Thursday and Saturday. Herro will presumably remain out for those games, barring another update, so Monday's matchup versus Minnesota could be a potential return date.
Dec 12, 2023
Still out
Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been participating in individual drills but will miss his 16th straight game Wednesday. Given it's the second half of a back-to-back set, Herro can be considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup versus the Bulls as well. In Herro's absence, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin continue to thrive in elevated roles.
Dec 10, 2023
Remains out
Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup in Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Herro hasn't played since Nov. 8 due to a right ankle sprain. He's returned to individual drills, but it's unclear when Herro will be cleared for full-contact practices. Until that happens, he can be considered doubtful, at best. In Herro's absence, Duncan Robinson has stepped up at shooting guard.
Dec 7, 2023
Won't play Friday
Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last month due to a right ankle sprain and appears to be making some progress in his recovery since he got some shots up last week. However, there hasn't been an indication that he's been cleared for full-contact practices and is unlikely to be in the mix to return to game action until that occurs. Duncan Robinson (groin) should continue to handle an increased role for as long as Herro is sidelined.
Dec 5, 2023
Won't travel to Toronto
Herro (ankle) won't travel to Toronto for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro hasn't played since spraining his right ankle Nov. 8 versus Memphis. He was spotted getting shots up last week and is due for another evaluation soon. However, until he's cleared for full-contact practices, Herro can be considered doubtful, at best. Duncan Robinson has thrived as a starter in Herro's absence and should continue getting plenty of looks on a nightly basis.
Nov 28, 2023
Likely out at least one more week
Herro (ankle) was seen putting up shots at Monday's practice but remains at least a week away from returning to game action, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. "It's trending in the right direction," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said regarding the status of Herro, who had his sprained right ankle re-evaluated over the weekend.
ANALYSIS
Though Herro looks as though he's been cleared to resume light on-court work, he'll need to mix into contact drills at practice before a more definitive target date for his return will come into focus. If Herro is able to practice with his healthy teammates at some point later this week, he get the green light to play at some point next week during the NBA In-Season Tournament. Duncan Robinson has been serving as the Heat's primary starting shooting guard during Herro's absence, though Robinson missed Miami's last two contests with a thumb injury.
Nov 27, 2023
Won't play Tuesday
Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro shed his walking boot last week but hasn't yet been cleared to return to game action. He's been dealing with a Grade 2 ankle sprain since early November, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to get back on the court. Once his ankle is healed, the 23-year-old will presumably need to work on his conditioning.
Nov 20, 2023
Sheds walking boot
The Heat announced Monday that Herro (ankle) is no longer in a walking boot, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel
ANALYSIS
Herro was diagnosed with a Grade 2 ankle sprain in early November and isn't yet ready to return, but it's encouraging that he's no longer in a boot. However, he'll presumably have to resume on-court activities and work on his conditioning before he's in the mix to return to game action.
Nov 9, 2023
Set to miss multiple weeks
Herro suffered a Grade 2 ankle sprain in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies and will be re-evaluated in a few weeks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
An MRI done Wednesday showed that Herro's initial fear was correct in that he will miss a few weeks of action. Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson should see extended minutes in his absence. Herro will likely target the end of November for his return date.
Nov 8, 2023
Multi-week absence feared
Herro (ankle) said "It's probably a couple of weeks" regarding the severity of his injury Wednesday,Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro left Wednesday's contest and didn't return after just eight minutes of action. He sprained his right ankle and is set for an extended absence. While he's sidelined, expect Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Bam Adebayo to see more usage in the starting five. At the shooting guard spot, Duncan Robinson, Josh Richardson and Dru Smith are likely candidates for expanded roles.
Nov 8, 2023
Out for remainder of game
Herro suffered a right ankle sprain in Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies and won't return.
ANALYSIS
Herro exited Wednesday's contest with 0:55 remaining in the first quarter after tallying six points, two assists, one rebound and one steal in eight minutes. Josh Richardson and Duncan Robinson will likely see increased minutes in his absence. Herro's status for Saturday's matchup with Atlanta is uncertain.
Nov 4, 2023
Nearly notches triple-double
Herro finished with 24 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 121-114 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro led Miami in points, rebounds and assists while finishing just one dime shy of a triple-double. The sharpshooting guard was an efficient 4-for-7 from beyond the arc, and he's now knocked down at least four triples in four of his six games this season. Herro has taken his game up another level during the early part of the campaign, averaging 25.8 points, 5.7 boards, 5.0 assists, 3.8 three-pointers and 1.2 steals while shooting 45.1 percent from deep and 45.3 percent overall from the field through six games.
Nov 2, 2023
Lights it up from deep to lead team
Herro logged 30 points (12-23 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 109-105 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Herro led all players in Wednesday's contest in scoring and threes made while posting his second straight game with 30 or more points. Herro has been one of Miami's top three-point shooters this season, connecting on four or more threes in three of his five outings. Through five games, Herro is averaging 26.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists over 38.6 minutes per contest.
Oct 31, 2023
Explodes for 35 points
Herro racked up 35 points (12-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 122-114 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro is enjoying an excellent start to the season, surpassing the 20-point mark in his last three outings and reaching the 35-point plateau here by virtue of his efficiency. One could have thought he got more looks on offense against the Timberwolves due to the absence of Jimmy Butler, who was rested, and the Heat were without Bam Adebayo (hip) on Monday, but it seems Herro's role as one of Miami's go-to players on offense in inherent to the presence of the team's two stars. Herro has attempted at least 20 shots in each of his four outings this season.
Oct 29, 2023
Goes for 22 points Saturday
Herro registered 22 points (8-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 40 minutes during Saturday's 106-90 loss to Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Herro is enjoying an excellent start to the season and has scored 20-plus points in each of his last two outings. The uptick in usage rate is related to the absence of Jimmy Butler, who was rested against the Timberwolves, but even if Butler returns to face the Bucks on Monday, Herro should still play a prominent role on offense. After all, he has attempted at least 20 shots in each of his three outings this season.
Oct 27, 2023
Leads offense from deep in defeat
Herro closed Friday's 119-111 loss to the Celtics with 28 points (10-19 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro led all Heat players in scoring, threes made and assists while finishing as one of two Miami players with 25 or more points in Friday's loss to Boston. Herro struggled shooting in Wednesday's regular-season opener against Detroit but managed to bounce back against the Celtics to record season-high marks in scoring, rebounds, assists and shots made.
Oct 20, 2023
Good to go
Herro (thigh) is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Rockets, Jackson Gatlin of Locked on Rockets reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Wednesday's preseason game with a minor contusion, but the Heat were likely being extra cautious. Herro will have plenty on his plate with Jimmy Butler (dental work) sitting out again.
Oct 18, 2023
Won't play Wednesday
Herro is out for Wednesday's preseason game versus the Nets due to a left thigh contusion, Will Manso of Local 10 Miami reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Herro suffered his injury, but the Heat are likely just being cautious during the preseason. His next chance to suit up is Friday's preseason matchup with the Rockets.
Oct 16, 2023
Strong from deep in preseason win
Herro tallied 30 points (11-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six assists and three rebounds over 31 minutes in Sunday's 132-124 preseason win over Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Herro showed his in-season form during Sunday's preseason win over the Grizzlies, leading all players in the game in scoring while connecting on a team-high mark from three in his first 30-point outing of the preseason. Herro has averaged 26.0 points, 4.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds over two exhibition games for the Heat.
Oct 15, 2023
Not listed on injury report
Herro (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's preseason contest against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Herro didn't play Friday for rest purposes, but he should be back in action Sunday. On Tuesday, Herro posted 22 points, five rebounds and three assists during a 113-109 preseason win over the Hornets.
Oct 12, 2023
Won't play Friday
Herro won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Spurs, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro doesn't appear to be dealing with an injury, so it seems likely that he isn't making the trip to San Antonio for rest purposes. His next chance to play during the preseason will be Sunday against Memphis.
Oct 10, 2023
Leading scorer in win
Herro scored 22 points (9-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in Tuesday's 113-109 preseason victory over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Herro wasn't all that efficient from the field but he was the leading scorer in Tuesday's game. He's coming off an offseason surrounded by trade rumors while continuing to recover from a hand injury he sustained in Game 1 of the first round of last year's playoffs against the Bucks. Herro started in all 67 regular season games last season after primarily coming off the bench in his first three years in the league and will be tasked with being a reliable third option behind Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
Oct 2, 2023
Needed offseason to get healthy
Herro said Monday that he wasn't ready to return from his hand injury until a month after the 2022-23 season was over despite being active for Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro broke the middle and ring fingers on his right hand while diving for a loose ball right before halftime of Game 1 versus Milwaukee in the opening-round series of last season's playoffs. After undergoing surgery, it was reported that Herro would have a chance to return if the Heat made the NBA Finals. Given Miami was the eighth seed, it seemed likely that Herro's season was over. However, the Heat went on an improbable run, sparking speculation of Herro's potential return. With Miami on the brink of elimination, Herro was cleared for Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets, but he never saw any action. It's not surprising to hear the 23-year-old say he wasn't fully cleared, as his availability was likely a display of gamesmanship on Miami's part. Herro was also included in trade talks all offseason, but Miami never made a move. That's all in the rearview mirror now. Herro is slated to handle a similar role as last season when he started all 67 of his appearances and averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebound
Jun 13, 2023
Doesn't play despite being cleared
Herro (hand) didn't play in Monday's Game 5 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered a hand injury that required surgery in Game 1 of Miami's opening-round series versus Milwaukee and missed nearly the entire postseason. He was cleared to suit up for Game 5, but head coach Erik Spoelstra opted to keep the shooting guard on the bench. The Kentucky product signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension in October last year, so he figures to be an integral part of the Heat's rotation for years to come.
Jun 12, 2023
Good to go Monday
Herro (hand) is available for Game 5 against the Nuggets on Monday, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been upgraded from questionable to available Monday, as expected. The 23-year-old guard will make his return after injuring his right hand in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against Milwaukee. It's unclear what Herro's role will be, but it is safe to assume that he will come off the bench if he sees any action.
Jun 12, 2023
Upgraded to questionable
Herro (hand) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Herro was initially ruled out for Monday's matchup, but he'll now be in the mix to suit up as the Heat attempt to avoid elimination. Coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Herro hadn't been cleared to return to game action, so it's possible he faces some restrictions if he's deemed available Monday.
Jun 11, 2023
Unavailable for Game 5
Herro (hand) has been ruled out for Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Monday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro remains sidelined as he recovers from his right-hand surgery on April 21 despite some optimism surrounding a potential return. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Herro is yet to be cleared to play, so the 23-year-old may not be able to return even if Miami avoids elimination in Game 5.
Jun 8, 2023
Ruled out for Game 4
Herro (hand) has been ruled out for Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets on Friday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday that Herro hadn't yet been cleared to play, and the 23-year-old will officially be unavailable for another game as the Heat attempt to even the series. Herro's next opportunity to suit up will be Monday in Denver, but Spoelstra's recent comments cast some doubt on his availability for the remainder of the series.
Jun 8, 2023
Expected out for Game 4
Herro (hand) is "not clear to take that next step" in his ramp-up process towards playing, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. He is expected to be out for Friday's Game 4 against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
While Herro hasn't officially been ruled out, coach Erik Spoelstra seemed far from optimistic about the guard's chances. At this point, it seems possible he won't be able to return at any point in the Finals.
Jun 6, 2023
Ruled out for Game 3
Herro (hand) has been ruled out for Game 3 of the NBA Finals versus Denver on Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
There was speculation that Herro could return for either Game 2 or 3, but he's experienced soreness and swelling in his surgically repaired hand that delayed his return timeline. The shooting guard has been fully participating in Miami's recent practices, but it remains to be seen if he'll be cleared for game action at any point in the series.
Jun 6, 2023
Will do full-contact drills Tuesday
Herro (hand) remains day-to-day and hasn't been cleared for game action yet, but Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said the shooting guard will go through another full-contact workout Tuesday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been participating in all portions of Miami's practices recently, but he was still experiencing soreness and swelling in his surgically repaired right hand as of Monday. There's been conflicting reports surrounding his potential availability since the Finals began, but there hasn't been anything definitive saying he's close to being cleared for game action. The Heat will have to release their initial injury report for Game 3 sometime Tuesday afternoon, but Herro's official availability presumably won't be known until a few hours ahead of Wednesday's 8:30 p.m. ET tipoff.
Jun 5, 2023
Still experiencing soreness
Herro (hand) is still experiencing soreness and swelling after shooting, Ros Gold-Onwude of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was reportedly pushing to return for Sunday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, but he's still feeling sore while following through his shooting motion. He's been participating in all portions of practice, but he wants to make sure he's fully healthy and won't mess with the rhythm of the team upon his return. Although Herro isn't rushing to return to action, it wouldn't be surprising to see him available at some point during the NBA Finals.
Jun 3, 2023
Unavailable for Game 2
Herro (hand) won't play in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Though there had been rumors swirling that Herro could come back for Game 2, the guard will be held out at least one more game as he continues to recover from a hand surgery that stemmed from an injury dating back to the first round of the playoffs. His next chance to play will come Wednesday for Game 3 in Miami, a date that has previously been marked for a potential return.
Jun 1, 2023
Aiming to return for Game 2
Herro (hand) has a possibility of returning for Sunday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed practically the entirety of Miami's playoff run after undergoing right hand surgery due to an injury he suffered in Game 1 of the Milwaukee series. If the 22-year-old guard is unable to return for Game 2, he is expected to suit up for Game 3 barring a setback. Herro started in all 67 of his appearances this season, so he could replace Max Strus or Caleb Martin in the starting lineup upon his return.
May 29, 2023
Could return for Game 3
Herro (hand) is ramping up his basketball activities and is targeting a return for Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat last disclosed that Herro had been cleared for non-contact work May 23, but this latest update provides a clearer timetable for his return. The team will monitor his activity closely over the next week or so and should gain a better idea of when he'll be cleared for game action based on how he responds to workouts of increased intensity.
May 23, 2023
Cleared for non-contact work
Herro (hand) was cleared to resume non-contact basketball work Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro underwent surgery April 21, and he was expected to miss at least six weeks. June 2 would mark six weeks from the surgery, and Game 1 of the NBA Finals is scheduled for June 1. While a return can't be ruled out should Miami win one of the next four potential games of the Eastern Conference Finals, Chiang reports that those close to the situation consider it unlikely. Despite the positive update, there's still no definitive timetable for Herro's return to game action.
May 15, 2023
Still no basketball activities
Herro (hand) isn't shooting or dribbling yet and has been ruled out for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Boston on Wednesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro broke the middle and ring fingers on his right hand while diving for a loose ball before halftime of Game 1 versus Milwaukee. He underwent surgery a few days later and was expected to miss at least six weeks, leaving open the possibility of a return if Miami were to advance deep into the playoffs. Surprisingly, the Heat have done just that, but it appears Herro still isn't close to game action. Head coach Erik Spoelstra declined to give an update beyond Game 1, but barring a return to full-contact practices, it's safe to assume Herro won't be suiting up anytime soon.
Apr 21, 2023
Undergoes successful surgery
Herro underwent successful open reduction and internal fixation surgery on the third and fourth metacarpal of his right hand Friday and is expected to miss at least six weeks.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered his hand injury in Game 1 against Milwaukee diving for a loose ball. With the NBA Finals starting on June 1, it seems unlikely that the eighth-seed Heat would make a long enough run for Herro to any more postseason action. Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Victor Oladipo saw increased minutes in his absence in Game 2.
Apr 18, 2023
Will undergo surgery Friday
Herro (hand) said Tuesday that his surgery is Friday, and he expects to miss 4-to-6 weeks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro broke the middle and ring fingers on his right hand while diving for a loose ball right before halftime of Sunday's Game 1 win over Milwaukee. Per Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic, head coach Erik Spoelstra has already ruled the dynamic shooting guard out for the remainder of the playoffs, but given Herro's timetable, he may have a chance to return if Miami advances to the NBA Finals. Either way, Herro should be able to resume basketball activities this summer and should be full go for next season. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Victor Oladipo are the primary candidates for increased run with Herro out of the picture.
Apr 16, 2023
Out 4-6 weeks
Herro (hand) is expected to miss approximately 4-6 weeks, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Erik Spoelstra said during Sunday's postgame press conference that Herro would be unavailable for the remainder of the playoffs, but Haynes' report suggests that the shooting guard could return at some point if the Heat make a deep playoff run. The 23-year-old broke the middle and ring fingers on his right hand shortly before halftime during Sunday's Game 1 win over Milwaukee. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Victor Oladipo could see increased run in Herro's absence.
Apr 16, 2023
Out for remainder of playoffs
Herro (hand) has been ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro broke his right hand shortly before halftime during Sunday's win over the Bucks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round, and the injury will keep him out for the rest of the year. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Victor Oladipo are candidates to see increased run for the remainder of the playoffs.
Apr 16, 2023
Won't return due to broken hand
Herro won't return to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Bucks on Sunday due to a broken right hand.
ANALYSIS
Herro sustained his injury diving for the ball late in the first half Sunday, and although he remained in the game in the closing seconds before halftime, he'll be unavailable down the stretch. It also seems likely that he'll be forced to miss additional time given his diagnosis. In his absence, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent are candidates to see increased run.
Apr 11, 2023
Strong offensively in playoff loss
Herro recorded 26 points (12-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt), six rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 116-105 play-in game loss to Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Herro led the Heat players in shots made while posting the second-highest point total in a strong offensive performance in Tuesday's defeat. Herro has tallied at least 25 points and five rebounds on 14 occasions this year.
Apr 9, 2023
Set to play Sunday
Herro (quadriceps) is available to play Sunday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Friday's game against the Wizards due to the injury, but he will participate in the season finale. However, head coach Erik Spoelstra said Adebayo and other starters will see a reduced workload, per Will Manso of Local 10 Miami. As such, don't expect Herro to log heavy minutes in this one, with Victor Oladipo, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent all in line to see additional playing time as a result.
Apr 8, 2023
Iffy for Sunday
Herro (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Friday's game due to a bruised right quad and is at risk of missing a second consecutive tilt. Considering the Heat have nothing to play for Sunday, it wouldn't come as a surprise to see Herro in street clothes once again. If that's the case, Victor Oladipo (elbow), Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson could all see expanded roles.
Apr 7, 2023
Ruled out against Washington
Herro (quadriceps) won't play in Friday's game versus the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been downgraded from questionable to out with a right quadriceps contusion for the second leg of Miami's back-to-back Friday. With Miami locked into seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, he may also sit out Sunday's game versus Orlando. Victory Oladipo will likely see increased minutes in Herro's absence.
Apr 7, 2023
Questionable Friday
Herro is questionable for Friday's game against Washington due to a right quadriceps contusion.
ANALYSIS
Herro has played in every game since the All-Star break, but he's dealing with a quad issue ahead of Friday's matchup. If he's sidelined, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent could see increased run.
Apr 7, 2023
Pours in five triples
Herro notched 24 points (7-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 129-101 victory over Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Herro was hot early, ending with a team-high 24 points in the comfortable victory. Despite moving into the starting lineup this season, Herro has been unable to take his game to the next level. He remains a solid mid-round asset, although managers would have been hoping for a little more in terms of peripheral production. The Heat are still a mathematical chance of avoiding the play-in tournament, meaning they will likely roll their main guys out there again Friday. As a key piece for the Heat, Herro should subsequently be active in all formats.
Mar 29, 2023
Dominant in defeat
Herro logged 33 points (13-21 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 106-92 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Although Miami was unable to pick up the win Tuesday, Herro matched his fifth-highest scoring total of the season while also topping 20 points for a third consecutive game. The 23-year-old will attempt to remain productive in the second half of the back-to-back set Wednesday against the Knicks, especially if Jimmy Butler (neck) is sidelined for a second consecutive game.
Mar 26, 2023
Another 20-point game
Herro closed with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Herro was efficient from the field and scored at least 20 points for a second straight game. He also recorded multiple steals for the first time since March 8 and for the 13th time this season. The fourth-year guard hasn't missed a game in March, posting 19.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 34.8 minutes across his past 13 appearances.
Mar 23, 2023
Drains four treys Wednesday
Herro amassed 22 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro has scored at least 20 points in six of his 12 appearances during the current month and remains a reliable scoring weapon for the Heat, and he has been particularly sharp from three-point range of late. He's drained two or more threes in each of his last 11 games while shooting 41.9 percent from beyond the arc in that span.
Mar 14, 2023
Pops for 18 in Monday's win
Herro amassed 18 points (5-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Seven different Heat players scored in double digits on the night, but only Jimmy Butler provided more than Herro's 18. The fourth-year guard is having a solid March, averaging 19.0 points, 5.5 boards, 4.3 assists and 3.1 threes over eight games.
Mar 11, 2023
Impresses against Cleveland
Herro registered 25 points (8-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 38 minutes during Friday's 119-115 victory over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Herro reached the 20-point mark for the fourth time over his last five outings and was particularly deadly from three-point range, making five of his seven attempts from beyond the arc. The sharpshooter is averaging 20.0 points per game while shooting 46.7 percent from deep in six March contests.
Mar 9, 2023
Goes for 22 points in loss
Herro notched 22 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 104-100 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Herro bounced back from an awful showing Monday to record his third 20-point game over Miami's last four contests. Herro's fantasy value lives and dies with his scoring figures, and while he remains a productive player who should be rostered in all formats, the inconsistencies limit his upside a bit. He has failed to reach the 15-point mark in four of his last eight appearances.
Mar 7, 2023
Struggles from field Monday
Herro accumulated 13 points (5-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 130-128 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Herro ended with more field goal attempts (14) than points scored (13) for the fourth time over his last seven outings, and there's no question those inconsistencies are hurting his upside. He should remain Miami's third-best scoring weapon behind Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, but he's making just 38.7 percent of his shots since the All-Star break, and that's worrisome for fantasy managers.
Mar 4, 2023
Drops 29 points in loss
Herro had 29 points (11-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 122-120 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro was overdue for a strong showing, as he scored a combined 19 points in his previous two games. Kyle Lowry has missed 11 games and counting due to a knee issue, so we can expect Herro to keep picking up the slack in the playmaking department.
Mar 2, 2023
Scores 11 in defeat
Herro supplied 11 points (4-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and six assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-96 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been available for Miami's four games following the All-Star break after missing the team's final two matchups prior to the layoff. However, he's had mixed results since returning to action. He dropped 33 points in a loss to the Hornets on Saturday but has been held below 15 points in his other three outings, averaging 16.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.5 minutes per game since the All-Star break while shooting just 33.3 percent from the floor during that time. Better days should be ahead for the 23-year-old once he rediscovers his shooting stroke.
Feb 27, 2023
Cleared for action
Herro (ribs) is available for Monday's matchup against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Herro will suit up Monday despite initially being listed as questionable with a right rib contusion. After a subpar performance in his first game following the All-Star break, Herro exploded for 33 points during Saturday's loss to Charlotte and should garner his usual workload versus Philadelphia.
Feb 27, 2023
Participates in shootaround Monday
Herro (ribs) participated in Monday's shootaround, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is questionable for Monday's game against Philadelphia due to a right rib contusion, but his presence for Miami's morning shootaround is encouraging. The 23-year-old was dominant during Saturday's loss to the Hornets, posting 33 points, seven rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block in 41 minutes.
Feb 26, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Herro is questionable for Monday's matchup against the 76ers due to a right rib contusion.
ANALYSIS
Herro was lights out during Saturday's loss to the Hornets, posting 33 points on 6 of 12 shooting from deep, but he appears to have picked up an injury during the contest as well. If he's sidelined, Victor Oladipo, Max Strus, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin are all candidates for increased roles.
Feb 26, 2023
Shines despite loss
Herro logged 33 points (10-23 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 108-103 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Miami suffered a demoralizing defeat Saturday, but Herro led the team in scoring and provided a strong fantasy performance after recording his second 30-point performance of the month. The nature of Herro's streaky game will lead him to have some poor performances here and there, but his role as a reliable scoring weapon for the Heat is not under any question. He's averaging 23.6 points per game in seven February contests.
Feb 24, 2023
Available Friday
Herro (knee) is available for Friday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Herro said Thursday that he'd be ready to play Friday against the Bucks, and he's officially been cleared to suit up after initially being listed as probable. He missed Miami's final two games before the All-Star break due to his knee contusion but has averaged 23.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 40.4 minutes per game over five appearances in February.
Feb 23, 2023
Officially listed as probable
Herro is officially listed as probable for Friday's game against the Bucks with a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed the final two games before the All-Star break due to the knee contusion, but he told reporters Thursday that he's good to go for Friday's contest, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. However, while it's still likely the reigning Sixth Man of the Year suits up, it appears the team wants to see him go through warmups before officially clearing him for game action. Herro is averaging 23.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 40.4 minutes across his past five appearances.
Feb 23, 2023
Healthy coming out of break
Herro (knee) said Thursday that he is good to go for Friday's game versus Milwaukee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is set to play Friday after missing the two previous games before the All-Star break with a left knee contusion. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year's return will likely send Max Strus back to the bench. Herro is averaging 23.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 40.4 minutes across his last five appearances.
Feb 14, 2023
Remains out Wednesday
Herro (knee) is out for Wednesday's matchup at Brooklyn, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
A bruised left knee will keep Herro out of the Heat's final game before the All-Star break, meaning his next chance to return is Feb. 24 against the Bucks. That said, he was selected Tuesday for the three-point contest, so he'll presumably participate in that event. For Wednesday's game, Kyle Lowry (knee) and Victor Oladipo (knee) also remain shelved, so coach Erik Spoelstra will likely continue handing more minutes to Max Strus, Gabe Vincent, Caleb Martin and Jamaree Bouyea.
Feb 13, 2023
Unavailable Monday
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was downgraded from questionable to doubtful ahead of Monday's matchup, so it isn't very surprising that he'll be unable to suit up. Victor Oladipo (ankle) will remain out Monday, so Gabe Vincent and Max Strus are candidates to see increased run.
Feb 13, 2023
Now listed as doubtful
Herro (knee) is doubtful for Monday's matchup against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Herro was initially listed as questionable with a left knee contusion, but he's been downgraded to doubtful Monday morning. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year was recently a regular on the injury report due to a back contusion, so the knee issue is a new injury and appears likely to sideline Herro for at least one contest. He's one of a handful of the Heat regulars on the injury report, so it's currently unclear who'll be part of head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation against the first-place Nuggets.
Feb 12, 2023
Iffy for Monday
Herro is questionable for Monday's contest against Denver due to a left knee contusion.
ANALYSIS
Herro was recently on the injury report due to a lower back contusion, but he's now listed with a knee bruise. The severity of the issue is unclear, but the dynamic guard was able to score 23 points and played 47 minutes during Saturday's overtime win over Orlando. Herro is one of a handful of Heat players listed on the injury report, so it's currently unclear what their rotation will look like versus the Nuggets.
Feb 12, 2023
Scores 23 points on 23 shots
Herro had 23 points (10-23 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 47 minutes during Saturday's 107-103 overtime win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Despite being listed as probable ahead of the contest with a back contusion, Herro suited up and played all but six minutes in the narrow win. Though he finished as the Heat's scoring leader, Herro wasn't particularly efficient from distance and provided little in the way of peripheral statistics. He's typically been doing a better job of supplementing his scoring with production elsewhere; he's averaging 23.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.8 three-pointers over his last five outings.
Feb 11, 2023
Available Saturday
Herro (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will play in the second game of a back-to-back despite a back contusion. He's scored in double figures across seven straight games, averaging 21.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 36.9 minutes.
Feb 11, 2023
Handed probable tag
Herro will likely play in Saturday's game against Orlando with a lower back contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was added to the injury report Saturday afternoon with a lower back bruise. Although he is listed as probable, his status still warrants attention from fantasy managers considering Saturday's tilt is the tail end of a back-to-back set.
Feb 11, 2023
Sniffs triple-double in win
Herro amassed 31 points (11-20 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 97-95 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Herro was Miami's best player by a wide margin Friday and ended just one rebound and two assists away from recording a triple-double, but he already managed to surpass the 20-point mark for the fourth time in his last six games. Herro struggled during January but seems to be turning things around of late, averaging 23.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game in four February contests.
Feb 5, 2023
Struggles late after hot start
Herro ended with 24 points (10-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro had a great first half all around, knocking down eight of 14 field goal attempts for 18 points to go along with four boards and three assists. The point guard had a miserable second half, however, going just 2-of-10 from the floor for six points as the Heat fell to Milwaukee on the road. Despite his late struggles, Herro still finished second on the team in both points (24) and assists (6) and has scored 24 or more points in three of his last four contests.
Jan 29, 2023
Leads from deep in 20-point game
Herro finished Sunday's 122-117 loss to the Hornets with 24 points (9-21 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro buried a team-high mark from three en route to finishing as one of two Heat players with 20 or more points Sunday. Herro has connected on five or more threes in 10 games this season.
Jan 25, 2023
Sealed victory with steal
Herro ended Tuesday's 98-95 victory over Boston with nine points (4-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro shot poorly all night but was able to rack up six dimes and grab two steals, including one at the very end to seal the win over Boston. After a handful of solid shooting performances in a row, this was just another one of those off nights for the streaky guard. He's still averaging 20.5 points per game this season, as well as career highs in rebounds (5.8) and assists (4.4).
Jan 22, 2023
Leader from deep to lift offense
Herro provided 26 points (10-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 100-96 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro led the team in points and threes made, finishing second in rebounds and assists en route to a near double-double performance. Herro has scored 25 or more points on 12 occasions this season.
Jan 21, 2023
Goes for 16 points Friday
Herro had 16 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes during Friday's 115-90 loss to Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Herro had a better performance than in his two previous games, but he continues to struggle with his shot and can't seem to find a way to score from beyond the arc. Since returning from a three-game absence earlier this month, Herro has gone 1-for-17 from deep while failing to score more than 16 points in any of past three contests. He's only averaging 16.8 points per game while shooting 27.3 percent from three in January.
Jan 17, 2023
Struggles with shot in return
Herro supplied 15 points (7-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 121-113 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
It was a somewhat shaky return to action for the fourth-year guard, who had missed four of the last five games due to an Achilles issue. With Kyle Lowry (knee) still not 100 percent either, Herro could wind up seeing a bump in usage if he's able to stay in the lineup himself and regain his form. Prior to the Achilles injury surfacing in early January, Herro had been averaging 25.4 points, 5.4 boards, 5.1 assists, 4.6 threes and 1.4 steals over a 10-game stretch to close out December and head into the new year.
Jan 16, 2023
Back in starting lineup
Herro will start Monday's game against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed three straight and four of Miami's past five games due to Achilles soreness, but he was omitted from the injury report for Monday's game and will officially return to the starting lineup against Atlanta. Over his past 12 appearances, the fourth-year guard has averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.
Jan 15, 2023
Isn't listed on injury report
Herro isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's matchup against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed three straight and four of Miami's past five games due to an Achilles issue. It's unclear if the dynamic guard will be limited at all during his return to action, but it's certainly encouraging to see him absent from the injury report. In 12 appearances before his recent absences, Herro had averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.
Jan 14, 2023
Downgraded to out Saturday
Herro (Achilles) will miss Saturday's game versus the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro was listed as questionable on the initial injury report Friday after being ruled out on the initial injury report before Thursday's game, so there appears to be some progress toward his return. However, that won't come Saturday, marking Herro's third consecutive absence. The sharpshooter's next opportunity to retake the floor arrives Monday in Atlanta.
Jan 13, 2023
Questionable Saturday
Herro (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's game against Milwaukee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last two games due to left Achilles soreness, but it's somewhat encouraging that he's deemed questionable for Saturday's matchup rather than being immediately ruled out once again. If he's sidelined for a third consecutive matchup, Victor Oladipo, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent should continue to see increased run.
Jan 11, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Herro (Achilles) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to deal with a sore left Achilles, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be available for Saturday's rematch against Milwaukee, but Victor Oladipo, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent should continue to see increased run for the Heat on Thursday.
Jan 10, 2023
Downgraded to out
Herro (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be sidelined for at least one game due to left Achilles soreness, which popped up during Sunday's loss to the Nets. The extent of the situation remains unclear, but Herro's next chance to suit up will come Thursday against the Bucks. Kyle Lowry (knee) is also out, so Gabe Vincent (knee), Victor Oladipo and Max Strus are all candidates for major roles against Oklahoma City.
Jan 9, 2023
Questionable Tuesday
Herro is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to left Achilles soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered a non-contact right leg injury late in Sunday's loss to the Nets, and he's apparently dealing with an Achilles injury. While it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Tuesday, it's somewhat encouraging that he's listed as questionable given the injury was a non-contact incident. If he's unavailable against Oklahoma City, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent (knee) are candidates to see increased run.
Jan 8, 2023
Suffers injury in loss
Herro limped off the floor with an apparent knee injury on the final play of Sunday's 102-101 loss to the Nets, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered a non-contact injury in the final seconds of Sunday's game. He recorded 24 points, four rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes before limping off the floor. Herro's status for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder is uncertain.
Jan 8, 2023
Will play Sunday
Herro (back) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Friday's win over the Suns due to back spasms, but he's been cleared for action and will presumably draw another start Sunday. Before his absence, Herro had scored at least 20 points in 12 of his previous 17 contests, averaging 24.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals during that stretch.
Jan 7, 2023
Questionable Sunday
Herro (back) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Back spasms forced Herro to miss Friday's win over the Suns, and his status needs to be monitored ahead of Sunday. If Herro sits again, Max Strus would presumably draw another start.
Jan 6, 2023
Ruled out Friday
Herro (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro and Caleb Martin (quadriceps) have both been ruled out, so Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith have been inserted into the starting lineup. Herro's back spasms surfaced earlier Friday, but the severity of the issue is unclear. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday against the Nets.
Jan 6, 2023
Late addition to injury report
Herro has been added to the injury report for Friday's game versus the Suns as questionable due to back spasms.
ANALYSIS
Herro doesn't have a history of back issues, so this is another injury to keep an eye on. The budding guard's status should be updated again closer to the 10 PM ET tipoff, with one of Max Strus, Victor Oladipo or Gabe Vincent likely to replace him in the starting five if he can't suit up.
Jan 3, 2023
Posts efficient effort from deep
Herro finished with 23 points (7-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 110-100 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro made only two of six shot attempts from two-point range, but he was much more efficient from beyond the arc, where he went 5-for-9. The sharpshooter also knocked down all four of his free-throw tries and made an impact on the boards with seven rebounds. Herro has been very productive in the latter category of late -- he's averaged 8.7 boards over his past three contests to raise his season average to 6.1, which is on pace for a career-high mark.
Jan 1, 2023
Breakout season continues in win
Herro posted 29 points (10-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Herro was at it again Saturday, leading the Heat with 29 points while adding production across the board. After an eight-game injury absence, he has now played in 19 straight games. Over the past month, he has been a top-20 player, quietly blowing away his preseason ADP. The Heat are no strangers when it comes to injuries, meaning Herro is almost always going to be called upon to be the dominant scorer. While this could be viewed as a bit of a sell-high opportunity, managers may simply want to hold on and enjoy the ride.
Dec 31, 2022
Game-high 26 points in loss
Herro notched 26 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 124-119 loss to Denver.
ANALYSIS
Herro struggled to get things going in the first half, knocking down just one of six shot attempts for two points while adding five boards and three assists. He wasted no time in righting that ship after the break, going 5-of-6 from the field for 14 points in the third quarter before adding another 10 in the final period for a game-high 26 points on the night. The Miami point guard also dished out a team-high 10 assists in the contest to notch his sixth double-double of the season.
Dec 29, 2022
One assist shy of double-double
Herro chipped in 18 points (6-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 112-98 victory over the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Herro led the Heat in assists and also posted a solid contribution as a scorer despite the fact that he wasn't very efficient. He's on a run of seven straight games with double-digit points and has stepped up when the team has needed him the most, as Herro is averaging 25.1 points while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 42.5 percent from deep in that seven-game stretch.
Dec 24, 2022
Stays hot from deeo
Herro totaled 28 points (10-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 111-108 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro failed to hit the game-tying three Friday. However, he has made 31-of-63 three-point attempts over his last five games. Herro is averaging 38.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 39.8 minutes over that span.
Dec 21, 2022
Goes for 19 with seven dimes
Herro chipped in 19 points (7-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 42 minutes during Tuesday's 113-103 loss to Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Herro couldn't reach the 20-point mark and had a rough performance from three-point range, but he still ended up as one of Miami's most reliable players in this loss. Herro has had some insanely good performances this month but has struggled a bit with consistency, although his role as one of Miami's go-to players on offense won't change in the near future. He's averaging 2.49 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game in December.
Dec 17, 2022
Strong performance against Spurs
Herro posted 21 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 111-101 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro wasn't sharp from the field, but he still cleared the 20-point mark while also delivering value thanks to his contributions in other categories. He was bound to cool off after putting up 35 and 41 points in his previous two appearances respectively, but he remains an elite offensive weapon for the Heat when available. He's having a career-best season from a scoring perspective and is currently surpassing the 21-points-per-game mark for the first time ever.
Dec 17, 2022
Cleared to play Saturday
Herro (ankle) will take the floor Saturday versus the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro seemed destined to be available after holding a similar probable designation numerous times before suiting up. He should handle his usual minutes and spot in the starting five in a juicy matchup versus a Spurs team allowing a league-high 120.4 points per game.
Dec 16, 2022
Probable for Saturday
Herro is listed as probable for Saturday due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
The Heat tend to pile on the injury report, and Saturday's is no exception. Herro joins every other Heat player on the ledger for this one. He's been consistently listed as probable in past contests and has played in essentially all of them, so there shouldn't be much to worry about regarding his status.
Dec 16, 2022
Explodes for 41 points in win
Herro ended Thursday's 111-108 victory over the Rockets with 41 points (13-20 FG, 10-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro had more usage with two starters out in Kyle Lowry (rest) and Bam Adebayo (ankle), and this resulted in his best scoring mark of the campaign. Herro has reached the 35-point mark in back-to-back contests and is now averaging 26.1 points per game across eight December contests.
Dec 15, 2022
Good to go Thursday
Herro (ankle) will play in Thursday's game against Houston, Jackson Gatlin of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be expected to take on more usage with Kyle Lowry (rest) and Bam Adebayo (ankle) inactive for the contest. Joining Herro in the starting lineup are Max Strus, Jimmy Butler, Caleb Martin and Udonis Haslem.
Dec 15, 2022
Probable at Houston
Herro (ankle) is probable for Thursday's matchup against the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Though Herro is expected to play, he's still part of Miami's 12-man injury report. Coach Erik Spoelstra is leaning on Herro heavily during this stretch. The guard hasn't seen fewer than 34 minutes in a game since Nov. 23, and he's averaging 21.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 38.1 minutes across the last 10 games.
Dec 15, 2022
Drops 35 points, hits game-winner
Herro posted 35 points (12-23 FG, 9-17 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 110-108 victory over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Herro's only shot attempts in the first half came from beyond the arc where he went 6-of-9 for 18 points. He got off to a slow start after the break, going 1-of-6 from the field in the third quarter before hitting five of eight shot attempts for 12 points in the fourth, including a game-winning 19-foot pullup jumper with just five seconds to go. The Miami guard led the game in scoring with 35 points while also hitting game and season-high nine threes on the night. It was Herro's third time this season reaching the 30-point mark.
Dec 14, 2022
Starting Wednesday
Herro (ankle) is in the starting five Wednesday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will resume his normal starting duty despite nursing a sore left ankle. Herro is averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game this year.
Dec 13, 2022
Listed probable Wednesday
Herro is considered probable for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Herro has consistently drawn the probable label of late, so his tag shouldn't be anything to worry about. Herro should maintain his spot in the starting five and log his usual minutes Wednesday, barring a late change in his status.
Dec 12, 2022
Starting Monday
Herro (ankle) is starting Monday's contest against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro will officially make his 10th straight showing for Miami. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 20.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists across 34.3 minutes per game throughout his first 19 appearances this season.
Dec 11, 2022
Listed as probable
Herro (ankle) is probable for Monday's matchup against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to be listed as probable but hasn't missed a game since Nov. 21. Since then, he's averaged 20.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.
Dec 10, 2022
Good to go
Herro (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Herro was listed as probable heading into the game. He has been a regular on the injury report lately, but has still managed to log 37 or more minutes in seven straight contests. Thus, look for him to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Dec 9, 2022
Likely to play Saturday
Herro is probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Herro has played 37 or more minutes in seven straight contests despite being listed on the injury report leading up to nearly every one of those contests. He should be expected to handle a full workload unless Miami decides to give him the night off.
Dec 8, 2022
Active and starting
Herro (ankle) will play and start Thursday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro was previously listed as probable for the contest, so his availability was to be expected. With Kyle Lowry resting, more usage should be available for Herro, making him extra appealing in daily formats
Dec 7, 2022
Probable for Wednesday
Herro (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Clippers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to be listed as probable due to a lingering ankle injury that cost him two weeks in mid-November, but he's suited up for seven straight contests since. During that stretch, he's posting 20.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists in 37.3 minutes, including a 34-point performance his last time out.
Dec 7, 2022
Tallies game-high 34 points
Herro totaled 34 points (12-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 116-96 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Herro shot efficiently from the field and reached the 30-point threshold for the first time since Oct. 29 against Sacramento. He's now recorded at least one steal in three straight matchups and is averaging 23.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.2 steals over his last five games.
Dec 6, 2022
Starting Tuesday
Herro (ankle) is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will resume his normal starting role despite nursing an ankle injury. The guard has averaged 18.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.7 assists across his past six matchups.
Dec 6, 2022
Probable Tuesday
Herro is listed probable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Herro is listed as probable for a third straight game and has partaken in each of the last two. Barring a late downgrade in his status, he should do so again Tuesday in the second game of a back-to-back set. He also figures to be relied on a bit more offensively in this one with Jimmy Butler (rest) sitting out.
Dec 5, 2022
Double-doubles in loss Monday
Herro racked up 23 points (8-20 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 101-93 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Herro recorded his fourth double-double of the season, dropping at least 22 points for the third straight game. Coming off an injury-related absence, Herro is finally beginning to look like the player managers had been hoping for this season. As long as he can remain healthy, Herro should be able to cruise along at top-80 speed the rest of the way.
Dec 5, 2022
Good to go
Herro (ankle) is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Herro was added to the team's injury report as probable due to a left ankle sprain, and he's since been listed in the starting lineup. He's averaging 17.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 7.0 assists over his last five matchups.
Dec 4, 2022
Gets probable tag for Monday
The Heat list Herro as probable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies with a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Herro might not be fully recovered from the left ankle sprain that caused him to miss eight straight games during a two-week stretch in November, but the issue isn't likely to sideline him as Miami kicks off a four-game week. He's suited up in each of Miami's last five contests, averaging 17.4 points, 7.0 assists, 6.4 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in 36.8 minutes per contest.
Dec 3, 2022
Big first half in win
Herro finished Friday's 120-116 overtime win over Boston with 26 points (10-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 39 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro scored 18 of his 26 points in the first half, going 7-for-11 from the field and hitting four of six three-point attempts. He was listed as probable for Friday's game due to an ankle injury but still started and logged typical floor time. He's had consecutive strong shooting performances after struggling from the field in the three previous games. For the year, he's made 44.1 percent of his shot attempts and 36.1 percent of his three-point tries, similar to his career averages.
Dec 2, 2022
Active and starting
Herro (ankle) will play and start Friday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will take the floor Friday in Boston. He is joined by Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, Cody Martin and Bam Adebayo in the starting five.
Dec 1, 2022
Probable Friday
Herro (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to land on Miami's extensive injury report due to his ankle issue, but he'll likely be able to play through the injury once again Friday after appearing in the last four games. Over those four outings, he's averaged 15.3 points, 8.0 assists and 6.8 rebounds in 36.3 minutes per game.
Nov 30, 2022
All-around showing in loss
Herro posted 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 134-121 loss to Boston.
ANALYSIS
Herro finished second on the team in scoring, leading Miami in assists while finishing one dime shy of notching a double-double. Herro has tallied at least 20 points, five assists and five rebounds in two games this season.
Nov 30, 2022
Starting Wednesday
Herro (ankle) is in the starting lineup Wednesday against Boston.
ANALYSIS
Herro was tabbed questionable heading into the matchup with an ankle injury, but it's now safe to say that the guard will resume his starting normal role. Herro has averaged 13.0 points, 7.7 assists and 7.7 rebounds across his past three performances.
Nov 29, 2022
Questionable for Wednesday
Herro is considered a question mark for Wednesday's game versus the Celtcis due to an ankle issue, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has played in the last three contests, but it appears an ankle issue could prevent him from giving it a go Wednesday. Herro missed eight games earlier in the month with an ankle issue, so there could be some additional concern if the problems are related. More information on Herro's status should be forthcoming Wednesday.
Nov 27, 2022
Huge outburst in win
Herro recorded 11 points (3-13 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 106-98 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Herro recorded his first triple-double of the 2022-23 campaign by showcasing his passing skills and securing 10 of his 11 rebounds on the defensive end. He didn't quite have his usual shooting touch in this one and has struggled from the field of late, converting on only 13 of his last 46 attempts over three games.
Nov 27, 2022
Starting against ATL
Herro (ankle) is starting against the Hawks on Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed eight straight games earlier this month and while he continues to feel the effects of the injury, that won't stop him to start for the third contest in a row. He most recently posted 11 points, 10 assists and five rebounds across 39 minutes in a win over the Wizards on Friday.
Nov 27, 2022
Looks set to play Sunday
The Heat have upgraded Herro (ankle) from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing eight consecutive games due to a sprained left ankle, Herro returned to the lineup Wednesday and has suited up in both of the Heat's last two contests. He most recently played 39 minutes in Friday's 110-107 win over the Wizards en route to finishing with 11 points, 10 assists, five rebounds and one block in the victory, but Herro apparently hasn't completely moved past the ankle issue. Even so, Herro looks like he'll be able to play through the injury once again Sunday, barring a setback during warmups.
Nov 26, 2022
Questionable at Atlanta
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has played two games since returning from an eight-game absence. He's struggled shooting, going just 10-for-33 from the field, but he's combined for 13 assists. He joins five other Heat players as questionable.
Nov 26, 2022
Posts double-double in victory
Herro tallied 11 points (4-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds and one block in 39 minutes during Friday's 110-107 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro struggled mightily with his efficiency as he tried to take over the scoring load with Jimmy Butler (knee) out. While he was unable to get much going for himself, Herro created plenty of looks for his teammates, especially Bam Adebayo, who finished with 38 points.
Nov 25, 2022
Playing Friday
Herro (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed eight straight games before returning for Miami's last game, in which he played 29 minutes. He entered Friday's contest as questionable due to lingering pain in his ankle but was given the green light to suit up Friday. With the Heat missing Jimmy Butler (knee), expect Herro to obtain a higher-than-normal usage rate.
Nov 24, 2022
Questionable Friday
Herro is considered a question mark for Friday's game versus the Wizards due to an ankle issue, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been dealing with an ankle issue for a while and sat out eight straight games before returning Wednesday. Herro played 29 minutes in that contest, and his designation may be due to soreness after using it extensively following the lengthy layoff. An official word on his status should surface on game day.
Nov 23, 2022
Likely to return Wednesday
Herro (ankle) said that he plans to play in Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last eight games due to a left ankle sprain. If Herro is able to play Wednesday, he will likely replace Max Strus or Nikola Jovic in the starting lineup.
Nov 22, 2022
Could return Wednesday
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
After an eight-game absence, Herro is on the verge of a return. Once available, his presence will be a welcome boost for a Heat team dealing with a myriad of injuries. Fantasy managers should expect a minutes restriction in Herro's first game back.
Nov 21, 2022
Out again Monday
Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is slated to miss an eighth straight game due to an ankle injury. He's one of numerous Heat players who'll be sidelined again, so Miami figures to feature another limited lineup against the Timberwolves. Herro's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against Washington.
Nov 19, 2022
Will not play Sunday
Herro (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss another game due to a sprained ankle and joins a slew of Heat players already listed out for Sunday. However, with Sunday's being the first leg of a back-to-back set Herro could be being held out precautionarily. Kyle Lowry, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent (knee) will take on the bulk of the backcourt minutes for Miami Sunday.
Nov 18, 2022
Could return Sunday
Herro (ankle) could rejoin the Heat in time for Sunday's contest versus the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel repots.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss Friday's game against the Wizards, and a return Sunday for Herro would mark a two-week absence overall. It's unclear if he would be under any minutes restriction as he gets back into shape. The staff will certainly take any playing time he can offer at this point, with the depth chart littered with injuries across the board. When healthy, Herro is averaging 19.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 37.5 percent from deep and 46.8 percent from the field overall.
Nov 17, 2022
Ruled out Friday
Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to deal with a sprained left ankle and will be sidelined for a sixth consecutive matchup. Max Strus should continue to take on a starting role for Miami, while Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent have seen increased run off the bench recently.
Nov 15, 2022
Not traveling with team
Herro (ankle) didn't travel with the team to Toronto for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to an ankle injury. Wednesday's matchup begins a four-game road trip for Miami, so unless Herro joins the team halfway through it seems plausible that he'll remain sidelined until Nov. 23 when the Heat return home to face Washington. In his absence, Max Strus figures to continue operating as a starter, while Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent remain candidates for increased roles off the bench.
Nov 14, 2022
Out Monday
Herro (ankle) is out for Monday's contest against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Herro will officially miss his fourth straight contest due to an ankle injury. Max Strus will likely remain in Miami's starting lineup while the likes of Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent also should continue to see increased opportunities. Herro's next chance of returning comes Wednesday in Toronto.
Nov 13, 2022
Questionable versus Phoenix
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Monday night's contest against Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been dealing with an ankle injury that has kept him sidelined for the last three games. The 22-year-old is having a solid start to the year averaging 19.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per night. If he's unable to go, expect to see increased action from Gabe Vincent and Duncan Robinson.
Nov 12, 2022
Out Saturday
Herro (ankle) is out Saturday against the Hornets
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss a third game Saturday. Max Strus should remain with the starters, while Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin are candidates to see more run again.
Nov 11, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Herro is at risk of missing a third straight game due to a sprained left ankle. Max Strus will presumably remain in the lineup if Herro is out again.
Nov 10, 2022
Remains out Thursday
Herro (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss a second straight game as he continues to recover from a left ankle injury. As a result, Max Strus figures to draw another start in his absence. Herro's next chance to return to the court will be for Saturday's rematch with Charlotte.
Nov 9, 2022
Questionable Thursday
Herro (ankle) is questionable to play in Thursday's matchup with the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed his first game of the season Monday due to a left ankle sprain that also has him questionable for Thursday's game. If the reigning Sixth Man of the Year returns, it likely means that Max Strus returns to the bench.
Nov 7, 2022
Out Monday
Herro (ankle) is out for Monday's contest against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be forced to miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury. Max Strus will likely be the favorite to start in Herro's place while more opportunities should be available for the likes of Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent. Herro's next chance to return comes Thursday against the Hornets.
Nov 6, 2022
Questionable for Monday
Herro is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a left ankle sprain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro might be in line to miss his first game of the season, and if that were to be the case, then it'd be a massive hit for the Heat offensively. Herro has scored 25-plus points in three of his last four games, and he's enjoying an excellent start to the season. He's averaging 19.6 points per game.
Nov 5, 2022
Stays hot in Indiana
Herro totaled 29 points (8-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Friday's 101-99 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro put together another strong offensive performance despite a less than impressive shooting performance. He needed 20 attempts from the field and nine from the charity stripe to reach 29 points. It was reassuring to see Herro find his teammates for buckets, as he had been held to just one assist over his last three contests leading up to Friday.
Nov 3, 2022
Hits game-winning three
Herro produced 26 points (12-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Herro played the role of hero on Wednesday night (no pun intended), knocking down a 27-foot three-pointer with just over two seconds left in fourth quarter to put the Heat up 110-107. The Miami point guard went 6-of-7 from the field in the final period while also collecting four of his 12 rebounds in the game, which tied Domantas Sabonis for a game-high. Herro's 26 points were also a game-high as he led the Heat to their fourth win of the season despite the absence of Jimmy Butler.
Nov 2, 2022
Absent from injury report
Herro (eye) isn't among the players listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro departed Tuesday's game versus the Warriors with an eye injury and could not return. After initially being deemed a question mark by coach Erik Spoelstra, it appears Herro has avoided any significant damage and will presumably take his usual spot in the lineup. Herro dropped a season-high 34 on Saturday and will aim to get back on track Wednesday following his early exit.
Nov 1, 2022
Status for Wednesday uncertain
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he's not sure if Herro (eye) will play in Wednesday's game against the Kings but mentioned that he is doing better than when he left the game, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro left Tuesday's game versus the Warriors with a left eye contusing. While it doesn't appear that the reigning Sixth Man of the Year will miss much time, the Heat may play it cautiously on the second night of a back-to-back. If Herro doesn't play Wednesday, Duncan Robinson, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent should all be in line for extended minutes in the backcourt.
Nov 1, 2022
Won't return Tuesday
Herro (eye) is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
An eye contusion will keep Herro out for the second half, and he'll finish the game with two points, one assist, one rebound, one steal and one block in 10 minutes. The Heat play again Wednesday, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's unavailable against the Kings. If that's the case, more minutes could be in store for Max Strus, Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent.
Nov 1, 2022
Ruled out Tuesday
Herro (eye) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Herro exited Tuesday's game after suffering a left eye contusion in the first half. In 10 minutes, he posted two points, one assist, one rebound, one block and one steal. Max Strus started in Herro's place in the second half. The Heat's next game is Wednesday against the Kings.
Nov 1, 2022
Questionable to return Tuesday
Herro was poked in the eye during Tuesday's game against the Warriors and is questionable to return due to a contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
If Herro doesn't return, he'll finish with two points, one assist, one rebound, one steal and one block in 10 minutes. The Heat play again Wednesday.
Oct 30, 2022
Puts up season-high 34 points
Herro ended with 34 points (13-22 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds over 35 minutes during Saturday's 119-113 loss to Sacramento.
ANALYSIS
Herro entered this game having scored 14 or fewer points in three of his previous four appearances, and the seven-point output (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt) he delivered against the Warriors was his worst outing of the campaign by a wide margin, but he bounced back admirably here and posted his season-best scoring mark -- though unfortunately, that wasn't enough for Miami to get the victory. Herro can be one of the best scorers in the league when he gets hot, but the inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis have plagued his game through seven appearances.
Oct 28, 2022
Inefficient night from field
Herro totaled seven points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Herro failed to crack double digits in the scoring column for the first time all season by virtue of shooting just 25.0 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc. The effort can probably just be chalked up to an off night against a tough opponent, and he'll aim to rebound against the Kings on Saturday.
Oct 25, 2022
Grabs 15 rebounds in loss
Herro registered 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 98-90 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Herro's tally of 15 rebounds but almost as surprising as Precious Achiuwa's 22-board performance, but it was because Herro is only 6-foot-5 and is not known around the league for his rebounding ability -- he's never averaged more than 5.0 rebounds per game in any of his previous three seasons. Rebounding stats aside, Herro has been amazing as a scorer thus far and has recorded at least 20 points in three of his first four outings of the campaign.
Oct 23, 2022
Registers well-rounded line in win
Herro ended with 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 22 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 victory over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Herro took only eight shots in the contest, converting half of them. He also went 5-for-5 from the line to finish with 14 points, and he made an impact in other areas as well, leading Miami with eight boards and tying for the team lead with six dimes. Herro has moved into a starting role for each of the Heat's first three games and has played well, averaging 20.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 three-pointers over 31.0 minutes.
Oct 21, 2022
Posts another 20-point outing
Herro notched 25 points (10-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 36 minutes during Friday's 111-104 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Herro tallied his second consecutive 20-point performance in Friday's loss to Boston, leading Miami in scoring and field goals made. In two games this season, Herro is averaging 24 points, six rebounds and two assists per contest.
Oct 20, 2022
Drains four treys in season opener
Herro registered 23 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Herro was expected to start the season as a bench option for the Heat, but he got the start in the campaign opener and ended up as one of the team's most productive players. Last season's Sixth Man of the Year should be a strong fantasy option regardless if he starts or comes off the bench going forward.
Oct 13, 2022
Hits five threes
Herro tallied 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four blocks, one assist one steal in Thursday's 120-103 win over the Pelicans in the preseason.
ANALYSIS
Herro impressed on both ends of the floor Thursday. His prolific outside shooting and impressive shot-blocking should give fantasy owners confidence that Herro is locked in this season. Last year's Sixth Man of the Year will likely begin the regular season in the Heat's starting lineup.
Oct 12, 2022
Set to start Wednesday
Herro is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro will start Wednesday after missing Monday's preseason matchup with the Rockets due to a knee injury. Herro will start in Max Stus' place Wednesday, but there is no indication that will hold regular season.
Oct 12, 2022
Good to go Wednesday
Herro is available for Wednesday's preseason game versus the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Monday's preseason matchup with the Rockets due to a knee injury but is set to play Wednesday. Last year's Sixth Man of the Year should be good to go for the team's regular-season opener on Oct. 19. Herro is still in line to come off the bench this season.
Oct 11, 2022
Back in action Tuesday
Herro practiced Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro, along with numerous teammates, didn't play in Monday's exhibition game against Houston. However, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year doesn't appear to be dealing with a significant injury and should be available for Miami's regular-season opener against the Bulls on Oct. 19.
Oct 10, 2022
Out Monday
Herro (knee) will miss Monday's preseason contest against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old guard logged a full practice Sunday, but Herro will remain on the sidelines Monday. The Heat have one more preseason contest remaining before beginning the regular season October 19 against Chicago.
Oct 9, 2022
Puts in full practice
Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Herro (knee) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed the Heat's last two preseason contests due to a knee issue, but he looks like he'll be good to go for Monday's exhibition against the Rockets after putting in a full practice. After inking a four-year, $120.96 million extension earlier this month, Herro could get the chance to make more starts in 2022-23, but he'll be in store for a 30-plus-minute role regardless of whether he works off the top unit or serves as a sixth man.
Oct 7, 2022
Remains out Friday
Herro (knee) will miss Friday's contest against the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be one of nine Heat players out in the matchup and will continue to heal up his knee suffered on Tuesday. His next opportunity to take the court will be Oct. 10 versus Houston.
Oct 6, 2022
Out Thursday
Herro is out for Thursday's preseason game against the Nets due to a knee injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro bumped knees Tuesday and will join Victor Oladipo (rest) on the sidelines for Thursday's game, and Gabe Vincent (knee) is questionable. Sunday, Herro signed a four-year, $130 million extension coming off his Sixth Man of the Year campaign.
Oct 5, 2022
Grabs 22 points
Herro scored 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT) with six rebounds, four assists and a steal in 26 minutes against the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Herro did a little bit of everything in this one, grabbing three rebounds and dishing out two assists in the first quarter, including one to Caleb Martin for a three-pointer to tie the game up. The point guard would only go 1-of-4 in the second quarter, though he did get to the line twice and make all four of his free throws. Herro added another six points in the third on 2-of-3 shooting from three before sitting for the entire fourth quarter.
Oct 4, 2022
Starting versus Minnesota
Herro will start at shooting guard Tuesday versus the Timberwolves, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro just signed a four-year, $130 million extension Oct. 2, and is now trying to secure a starting spot in Miami's rotation. Last year's Sixth Man of the Year will be competing with Max Strus, Victor Oladipo and Duncan Robinson for the starting shooting guard role.
Oct 2, 2022
Inks four-year extension with Miami
Herro and the Heat agreed Sunday on a four-year, $130 million contract extension, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 13th overall pick in 2019 has been a key piece for Miami over the last three seasons, which he capped off with a Sixth Man of the Year campaign in 2021-22. Herro appeared in 66 contests last season, averaging 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.7 made threes in 32.6 minutes per game. The Heat view the 22-year-old as a foundational player, and he may become a starter sooner than later. However, with Miami returning most of last year's roster, Herro will likely be a sixth man again this season.
Oct 2, 2022
Inks four-year extension with Miami
Herro and the Heat agreed to terms Sunday on a four-year, $130 million contract extension, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 13th overall pick in 2019 has been a key piece for Miami over the last three seasons, which he he capped off with a Sixth Man of the Year campaign in 2021-22. Herro appeared in 66 contests last season, averaging 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.7 made threes in 32.6 minutes per game. The Heat clearly view the 22-year-old as a foundational player, and at some point in the future it's very possible that he could move into a starting role. However, with Miami returning most of last year's roster, Herro will likely find himself in a similar position this season.
May 29, 2022
Good to go for Game 7
Herro (groin) will be available for Sunday's Game 7 against Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed the previous three games due to a groin injury, but he'll play through it as the Heat look to return to the NBA Finals for the second time in the last three years. It's very possible that Herro will be playing at well below 100 percent, so he'll be a fairly risky play in single-game DFS contests.
May 28, 2022
Questionable for Game 7
Herro (groin) is questionable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will continue to be listed as questionable while dealing with a significant groin strain. He's missed the past three games due to the injury, but the Heat were still able to force a Game 7. His availability could come down to a game-time call.
May 27, 2022
Officially out
Herro (groin) has officially been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 versus the Celtics, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While Herro has reportedly made progress in his recovery, he will ultimately be held out Friday. The absence will mark his third straight game missed. As a result, Duncan Robinson and Victor Oladipo figure to again be the prime beneficiaries in terms of minutes.
May 27, 2022
Expected to be out Friday
Herro (groin) is expected to be out for Friday's Game 6 against the Celtics, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will presumably miss a third straight game -- a tough blow for the Heat while down 3-2 on the road. In his absence, coach Erik Spoelstra will likely continue to give extra minutes to Duncan Robinson and Victor Oladipo.
May 27, 2022
Limited at shootaround
Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Herro (groin) is doing "everything he possibly can" to convince the coaching staff and trainers that he can play in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Games 4 and 5 and is officially listed as questionable for Game 6. Spoelstra added that Herro was limited during the team's morning shootaround, but his status likely won't become clearer until closer to tipoff. With their backs against the wall, it's not surprising to hear that Herro is testing his limits to suit up. The Sixth Man of the Year's presence -- even if limited -- would be a huge boost to a Miami offense that managed just 82 and 80 points, respectively, in Games 4 and 5.
May 26, 2022
Listed questionable for Game 6
Herro (groin) is questionable for Friday's Game 6 at Boston.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Game 4 and Game 5 -- both Heat losses -- due to the strained left groin he sustained during Game 3. With their backs against the wall, the Heat are hoping to get the Sixth Man of the Year back Friday, but it's far from a guarantee. With Herro out, the Heat managed just 82 and 80 points, respectively, in Games 4 and 5.
May 25, 2022
Out for Game 5
Herro (groin) will not play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is trying to work back from a relatively serious left groin strain and will miss his second game in a row. The injury reportedly has a typical recovery time of 2-to-4 weeks, so it wouldn't be surprising if Herro was out for the remainder of the series. Miami has just one day off before Game 6 on Friday.
May 24, 2022
Questionable for Game 5
Herro (groin) is listed as questionable for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Herro is reportedly dealing with a serious groin injury that would typically take 2-to-4 weeks to comeback from, but he's pushing to return for Game 5, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The Sixth Man of the Year was sidelined for Game 4's blowout loss after struggling through Game 3 and ultimately being benched due to the injury. Once again the Heat have numerous players listed on the injury report, but the only two that appear to be in jeopardy of actually being sidelined are Herro and Kyle Lowry (hamstring).
May 23, 2022
Won't play in Game 4
Herro (groin) will not play in Monday night's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was listed as questionable after departing Game 3, and his groin is still bothering him to the point that he'll be held out as the Heat play their fourth game in a seven-day span. Prior to sustaining the injury, Herro struggled through Game 3, finishing with eight points on just 4-of-15 shooting in 20 minutes of action. On a more positive note for Miami, both Kyle Lowry (hamstring) and Jimmy Butler (knee) are on track to be available for Game 4.
May 22, 2022
Questionable for Game 4
Herro (groin) is questionable for Monday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered what was initially reported as a quadriceps injury during Game 3 and was benched in favor of Victor Oladipo during the fourth quarter. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game that the medical staff didn't rule Herro out completely, but he still opted to roll with Oladipo simply because he was playing better, per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com. It doesn't sound like the groin issue is too serious, but the Heat will likely still wait until the last second to make a definitive statement on Herro's status for Game 4.
May 22, 2022
Dealing with quad injury
Herro suffered a quadriceps injury during Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro played just 20 minutes during the win and was benched in favor of Victor Oladipo during the fourth quarter. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game that he had no update on the severity of Herro's injury, but he did say that part of the reason he stuck with Oladipo was because of the injury, but it was also due to the fact that Oladipo was just playing better, per Friedell. It doesn't sound like the quadriceps issue is too serious, but it's certainly something worth monitoring ahead of Monday's critical Game 4.
May 18, 2022
Scores 18 points off bench
Herro accumulated 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 victory over Boston in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
ANALYSIS
Herro finished second on the team in scoring behind Jimmy Butler (41) and extended his double-digit scoring streak to eight games. During that stretch, the Sixth Man of the Year has averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.
May 12, 2022
Available Thursday
Herro (ankle) is available for Thursday's Game 6 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The Sixth Man of the Year will again play through an ankle sprain. He's averaging 15.6 points in the series but has seen a decreased scoring output in each game.
May 11, 2022
Questionable yet again
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 in Philadelphia, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to be listed as questionable, but he has yet to miss a game during the postseason. Barring a major setback, he'll likely be available once again. The Sixth Man of the Year has averaged 14.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 28.7 minutes across 10 postseason contests.
May 11, 2022
Quiet night offensively
Herro ended Tuesday's 120-85 win over the 76ers with 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 22 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro attempted fewer than 10 shots for just the second time during the postseason, but he still registered his sixth consecutive double-digit outing. Across 10 postseason appearances, the Sixth Man of the Year has averaged 14.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 28.7 minutes per game.
May 10, 2022
Good to go for Game 5
Herro (ankle) will be available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is one of several players who continues to be listed on the injury report, but there's been no indication that he's still dealing with any issues with his ankle. The Sixth Man of the Year will look to bounce back after an 11-point, 4-of-12 shooting performance in Game 4 on Sunday.
May 9, 2022
Questionable once again
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to be listed as questionable, but he has yet to miss a game during the postseason. The Sixth Man of the Year is averaging 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 rebounds across Miami's first nine playoff contests.
May 8, 2022
Available for Game 4
Herro (ankle) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro hasn't appeared to have any limitations due to his ankle injury. Over his first eight postseason appearances this year, he's averaged 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 28.9 minutes per game.
May 7, 2022
Questionable for Game 4
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 at Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been dealing with an ankle injury lately, but it hasn't slowed him down. In the series, he's averaging 19.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 29.7 minutes.
May 7, 2022
Scores 14 points off bench in loss
Herro registered 14 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Friday's 99-79 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Herro was inefficient from the field, but besides Jimmy Butler, he was the only Heat player to score in double figures. The Sixth Man of the Year has scored in double figures in six of eight playoff appearances so far and has averaged 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.4 assists across 28.9 minutes during that stretch.
May 6, 2022
Expected to play
Herro (ankle) is expected to play Friday against the 76ers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will "warm up with the intention of playing", and that's practically a guarantee that he's available. In the first two games of the series, he averaged 21.5 points, 5.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 31.0 minutes.
May 5, 2022
Questionable for Game 3
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Herro doesn't seem to be dealing with a significant injury, though the Heat continue to list him as questionable. In the first two games of the series, he averaged 21.5 points, 5.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 31.0 minutes.
May 4, 2022
Available for Game 2
Herro (ankle) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro tweaked his ankle during Game 1, but he'll be fine for Game 2. Herro scored a team-high 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and dished out seven assists during Monday's Game 1 victory.
May 3, 2022
Questionable for Game 2
Herro is questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 due to a left ankle sprain, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro scored a team-high 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and dished out seven assists during Monday's Game 1 victory, but he apparently tweaked his ankle as well. The 23-year-old is one of five Heat players listed as questionable, so it's unclear what Miami's rotation will look like in Game 2.
May 3, 2022
Scores team-high 25 in win
Herro supplied 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and seven assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 106-92 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
With Miami shooting 9-of-36 from beyond the arc, Herro's three-point prowess and overall efficient shooting night was much needed. He also racked up a team-high seven assists without recording a turnover. The 23-year-old continues to gain valuable playoff experience for top-seeded Miami.
May 2, 2022
Will play in Game 1
Herro (illness) will be available for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed a practice last week due to a non-COVID illness, and while he was able to go through sessions Saturday and Sunday, the Heat opted to keep him on the injury report. With Monday's Game 1 tip less than two hours away, Herro has now been removed from the report along with Jimmy Butler, Max Strus, P.J. Tucker, Caleb Martin and Markieff Morris. Miami will still be without Kyle Lowry (hamstring), however.
May 1, 2022
Questionable for Game 1
Herro (illness) is questionable for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro practiced Saturday after sitting out Friday's session with a non-COVID illness, but he remains on the injury report for the series opener. The 22-year-old also said he's ready to play Monday, so he should be expected to suit up versus Philadelphia.
Apr 30, 2022
Says he'll play Monday
Herro (illness) practiced Saturday and said he's good to go for Monday's Game 1 against the 76ers, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro didn't participate in Friday's practice session due to a non-COVID illness, but he was back in action a day later. After averaging 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 28.4 minutes per game during the five-game set against Atlanta, Herro should be available to begin the second round.
Apr 29, 2022
Dealing with non-COVID illness
Herro didn't practice Friday due to a non-COVID illness, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was one of five rotational players that were sidelined for Friday's practice, but it's unclear if they're in jeopardy of missing Game 1 against the 76ers. Herro's status will likely become clearer when Miami releases its first injury report for Monday.
Apr 26, 2022
Bounces back when needed
Herro ended with 16 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 97-94 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Coming off a 1-for-8 performance in Game 4, Herro stepped up with both Jimmy Butler (knee) and Kyle Lowry (hamstring) out. While his overall series was a disappointment -- 12.8 points per game -- he figures to remain a key part of Miami's gameplan moving forward.
Apr 19, 2022
Struggles from field in win
Herro had 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-105 victory over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Herro just hasn't been himself in the playoffs so far, though it's only two games and he still has more than enough time to turn things around. Over his first two appearances in the postseason, Herro has scored a combined 21 points but has shot just 8-for-22 from the field, including a meager 1-for-8 from three-point range. The Heat are safe since they hold a 2-0 series lead over Atlanta, but there's no question they'd expect more from Herro when things get tougher, especially after he averaged a career-high 20.7 points per game in the regular season.
Apr 17, 2022
Available for postseason
Herro (knee) is off the Heat's injury report ahead of Sunday's Game 1 of the Heat's first-round playoff series against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
One week ago, Herro sat out the Heat's regular-season finale against the Magic due to left knee soreness, but he was likely just sitting out for precautionary purposes since Miami had already clinched the Eastern Conference's No. 1 overall seed. Herro's absence from the injury report prior to Game 1 implies that he'll face no restrictions Sunday. The NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award favorite wrapped up the regular season with averages of 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.7 three-pointers in 32.6 minutes per game over 66 appearances.
Apr 10, 2022
Ruled out Sunday
Herro is out Sunday against the Magic due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro had appeared in each of the last seven games, and he averaged 18.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 32.1 minutes per game during that time. Victor Oladipo and Duncan Robinson should see increased playing time Sunday, while it seems likely that Herro will be back in action to begin the playoffs.
Apr 9, 2022
Another strong performance
Herro ended Friday's 113-109 victory over the Hawks with 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 33 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro dished out at least nine assists for the fourth time this season and extended his double-digit scoring streak to 38 games. Over his last seven appearances, the third-year wing has averaged 18.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 32.1 minutes per game.
Apr 6, 2022
Explodes for season-high 35 points
Herro recorded 35 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 144-115 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Herro was lights out off the bench en route to a season-high 35 points, marking his eighth 30-plus point outing of the campaign. The likely Sixth Man of the Year will look to build off his stellar performance Friday against the Hawks.
Apr 4, 2022
Approaches triple-double
Herro compiled 18 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3PT, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, and eight assists in Sunday's 114-109 win over Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Herro was all over the court in 36 minutes off the bench. The third-year guard is up to 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game on the season while shooting a career-best 44.2 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from deep.
Apr 3, 2022
Big night off bench
Herro ended Saturday's 127-109 victory over the Bulls with 19 points (6-16 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes off the bench.
ANALYSIS
The third-year continues continues to anchor the second unit for the Heat. Herro hasn't failed to score in double digits since late December, and since the beginning of March he's averaging 21.9 points, 5.2 boards, 3.7 assists and 3.0 threes over 14 contests.
Mar 29, 2022
Solid performance in win
Herro contributed 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 123-100 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Herro played through a left knee sprain for a second consecutive game, but the issue didn't appear to bother him as he finished with at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists for an eighth time this season. He'll look to maintain his strong play during the Heat's upcoming gauntlet of games, which features five straight matchups against teams currently in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
Mar 28, 2022
Available Monday
Herro (knee) is available for Monday's game for Monday's game against Sacramento, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be able to play through a left knee sprain for a second consecutive game. He totaled 13 points, four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's loss to Brooklyn.
Mar 27, 2022
Questionable again Monday
Herro (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Herro played through a sprained left knee Saturday after missing the previous two games, and his availability remains up in the air for Monday's contest. The 22-year-old could be a game-time decision after being limited to 13 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes Saturday.
Mar 26, 2022
Suiting up Saturday
Herro (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against the Nets, according to espn.com.
ANALYSIS
Herro will not start Saturday, but he will be back in uniform after missing two games. It remains to be seen, though, whether or not he will handle his usual workload.
Mar 26, 2022
Will try to play Saturday
Herro (knee) "will warm up with the intent to play" in Saturday's game against the Nets, according to the Heat's official Twitter account.
ANALYSIS
Herro's availability for Saturday's matchup has not yet been determined, but he will attempt to give it a go after sitting out Miami's last two contests.
Mar 26, 2022
Questionable for Saturday
Herro (knee) is questionable for Saturday's contest against Brooklyn.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed each of Miami's past two games with a sprained right knee, but he has a chance to return for Saturday's home game against the Nets. If he's unable to play, more minutes would be available for Duncan Robinson, Max Strus and Caleb Martin (knee).
Mar 25, 2022
Out Friday
Herro (knee) is out Friday against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss a second straight game with a sprained knee, though the Heat won't be too shorthanded, as most players deemed questionable were cleared. Duncan Robinson, Max Strus and Caleb Martin could see extra minutes.
Mar 24, 2022
Questionable for Friday
Herro (knee) is listed as questionable Friday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro is one of several Heat regulars who are listed as 50-50 calls for Friday's game, which falls on the front end of a back-to-back. The Sixth Man of the Year frontrunner was held out of Wednesday night's loss to the shorthanded Warriors.
Mar 23, 2022
Ruled out vs. Warriors
Herro (knee) will sit out Wednesday against Golden State, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat continue to be extremely liberal with their injury reports night-to-night, as at least one key contributor is almost always missing. On Wednesday, it will be Herro, who snaps a streak of 13 consecutive games played. Consider the guard day-to-day heading into Miami's Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the Knicks and Nets.
Mar 22, 2022
Questionable Wednesday
Herro is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to a left knee sprain.
ANALYSIS
Herro's knee sprain is likely related to the same injury which made him miss four matchups from Feb. 7 to Feb. 25. Although deemed questionable, it's unclear if the guard will be able to suit him for the Heat on Wednesday. Though Herro is ultimately deemed unavailable, expect Max Strus to see an increased role versus the Warriors.
Mar 15, 2022
Leads all scorers in lopsided win
Herro racked up 29 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 105-98 win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Herro continued his gaudy scoring of late, scoring at least 20 points for the 10th time in his last 11 games. He is putting together easily the best season of his career and has to be considered a frontrunner to be named Sixth Man of the Year. His fantasy value is obviously propped up by his ability to score the basketball, something he has been able to do on high efficiency. While his defensive production is basically non-existent, he can chip in a few assists and boards on most nights, making him a clear-cut option in all formats.
Mar 13, 2022
Dazzles with 30 points
Herro amassed 30 points (8-19 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Herro stepped in with the second unit and remained in the game while Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent struggled to absorb Jimmy Butler's (toe) production. Herro is historically solid amid a Butler absence, and Saturday was no exception. He was red-hot from long-range, drilling six three-pointers in 10 attempts.
Mar 12, 2022
Excels off bench once again
Herro chipped in 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 117-105 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to be one of the best bench scorers in the league and delivered another impressive performance against a playoff-caliber opponent. The former Kentucky standout has scored at least 20 points in eight of his nine appearances since the league resumed following the All-Star break.
Mar 8, 2022
Lights out off bench
Herro posted 31 points (12-18 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 123-106 victory over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Herro tied his season-high in field-goals made and three-pointers made en route to a game-high 31 points off the bench. Since the All-Star break, he's averaged 25.9 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 32.9 minutes per game. During that seven-game stretch, he's shooting 54.0 percent from the field and 47.9 percent from deep. Even with Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler and Victor Oladipo available together for the first time all season, Herro was Miami's go-to guy in the second half of Monday's win and has but sealed up the Sixth Man of the Year award. He'll look to continue his strong play Wednesday against the Suns.
Mar 6, 2022
Posts excellent line in win
Herro accumulated 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Saturday's 99-82 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Although Victor Oladipo is nearing a return, it's doubtful it will impact Herro's usage that much. He's been a vital element of the offense all season, and the heat would be a few notes down in the standings without his contribution.
Mar 1, 2022
Scores 20 points off bench
Herro amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 112-99 victory over the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to shine as a second-unit scoring weapon for Miami and has scored at least 20 points in each of his last three outings. He's averaging 19.9 points per game since the start of 2022 while routinely coming off the bench, though he could use some improvement in terms of efficiency. He's making just 42.5 percent of his shots and 35.1 percent from deep during that aforementioned 19-game span.
Feb 24, 2022
Available Friday
Herro (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed four of the past five games, but the time off helped him get healthy, and he'll be back for the Heat's first game out of the break. Since the New Year, he's averaged 19.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 33.4 minutes.
Feb 16, 2022
Remains out Thursday
Herro (knee) is out Thursday against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Herro isn't dealing with any structural damage to his knee, but he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game heading into the All-Star break. Max Strus and Kyle Guy could see additional playing time against Charlotte.
Feb 14, 2022
Unavailable against Dallas
Herro has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a knee contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro returned to the court Saturday against the Nets but will now be sidelined for the third time in the last four games. Kyle Guy and Max Strus should see additional playing time Tuesday.
Feb 13, 2022
Drops 15 off bench Saturday
Herro scored 15 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT) while adding seven rebounds and an assist in 23 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 115-111 win over the Nets.
ANALYSIS
The third-year guard has a little trouble getting his shot to fall after missing the prior two games with a minor knee issue, but he still led the Heat's second unit in scoring on a night in which seven different Miami players scored in double digits. Herro's personal streak of games with 10 or more points is now at 18, stretching back to late December, and over his last eight appearances he's averaging 16.8 points, 4.6 boards, 3.5 assists and 2.0 threes.
Feb 12, 2022
Available Saturday
Herro (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
After a two-game absence with right knee soreness, Herro returns. He's scored in double digits in 17 straight games, with averages of 20.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 34.4 minutes during this stretch.
Feb 11, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Herro (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last two games due to a sore right knee but will have a chance to return to the court against Brooklyn. If he remains out, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent should continue to see increased run.
Feb 10, 2022
Out Thursday
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Pelicans, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss his second consecutive game after missing Monday's matchup against the Wizards. The guard's next chance to return to the floor will be Sunday against the Nets. Expect Max Strus and Gabe Vincent to see extended minutes off the bench against the Pelicans.
Feb 10, 2022
Now questionable Thursday
Herro (knee) was downgraded from probable to questionable for Thursday's game at New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Monday's matchup with the Wizards due to knee soreness and was initially expected to play Thursday, though his availability is now up in the air. Max Strus and Gabe Vincent could be more involved off the bench should Herro be unable to play versus the Pelicans.
Feb 9, 2022
Probable at New Orleans
Herro (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro is expected to return following a one-game absence due to right knee soreness. On the road this season, he's averaged 20.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 34.0 minutes.
Feb 7, 2022
Out Monday
Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will be sidelined Monday as he battles soreness in his right knee. The third-year pro did say that the issue isn't a long-term deal, but it may be something that lingers for a bit. In his absence, Duncan Robinson, Max Strus (quadriceps) and Caleb Martin (Achilles) are all candidates for increased usage.
Feb 7, 2022
Expects to sit out Monday
Herro (knee) indicated that he expects to miss Monday's game against the Wizards, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. "I'm probably going to be out [Monday], if I had to choose right now," Herro said at shootaround Monday morning. "Nothing longterm, hopefully. Just soreness in my knee and I'll be fine hopefully for the next game."
ANALYSIS
It's still possible that Herro could make some progress and suit up Monday, but that quote certainly implies that he's anticipating missing at least one game. Schedule-wise, sitting out would make some sense, as the Heat are off Tuesday and Wednesday before resuming play Thursday in New Orleans. For now, Herro remains listed as questionable, but he looks to be trending more toward doubtful.
Feb 6, 2022
Dealing with knee soreness
Herro is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards with right knee soreness.
ANALYSIS
Herro presumably picked up the injury during Saturday's win over the Hornets, when he had 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block in 29 minutes. If available Monday the 22-year-old should continue to be a key contributor off the bench for Miami.
Feb 4, 2022
Scores game-high 24
Herro boomed for 24 points (11-20 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Thursday's 112-95 victory over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro supplied a prominent and efficient effort. Thursday did mark a continuation of his recent cold-streak from beyond the arc, however. Herro has hit 37.8 percent of his threes this season, but is just eight-for-35 over his previous five games. Herro will look to flip that script, and is a boom candidate, Saturday against the Hornets.
Jan 30, 2022
Nightmarish shooting performance
Herro tallied 13 points (5-22 FG, 3-14 3Pt), six rebounds and four assists across 45 minutes Saturday in the Heat's 124-120 triple-overtime loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Herro, who recently missed three consecutive games while in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, made his return to action Wednesday. Though he converted 44 percent of his field-goal attempts and 44.4 percent of his three-point tries in his first two games back, the third-year guard's shooting regressed in a major way Sunday. He also turned the ball over five times in the loss, his most in a game since committing seven giveaways in a Dec. 8 win over Milwaukee. Despite the wretched performance, Herro remains in good shape to win the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award. He's averaging 20.3 points per game on the season, far and away the best mark among players who have primarily played off the bench.
Jan 27, 2022
Drops 21 in return
Herro contributed 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 victory over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Making his return from a three-game absence, Herro did not miss a beat, as he played 33 minutes off the bench and notched his fourth 20-point effort in his last five appearances. Dating back to the start of the month, Herro is averaging 21.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.7 threes in January.
Jan 26, 2022
Available against New York
Herro (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro's status doesn't come as a significant surprise since he cleared the league's health and safety protocols and was listed as probable after participating in Tuesday's practice session. Although the 22-year-old missed the last three games, he should be able to handle a relatively full workload Wednesday.
Jan 25, 2022
Set to return Wednesday
Herro is expected to return to action Wednesday against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro cleared COVID-19 protocols Tuesday morning, and shortly after coach Erik Spoelstra told the media that the guard is "feeling fine and ready to come back." The Heat are off Tuesday, so Herro will likely log some practice time before making his return to action Wednesday night. Herro missed the previous three games against Portland, Atlanta and the Lakers.
Jan 25, 2022
Clears COVID-19 protocols
Herro cleared the NBA's health and safety protocols and practiced Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro entered COVID-19 protocols Jan. 19 and was sidelined for the following three games. The Heat have yet to release their injury report for Wednesday's contest against the Knicks, which should provide more information on Herro's conditioning status. Either way, his removal from protocols is a step in the right direction, and he should be back on the court sooner rather than later.
Jan 19, 2022
Enters health and safety protocols
Herro was placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols and has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami will be without Herro and Kyle Lowry (personal) Wednesday, so the likes of Duncan Robinson, Max Strus, Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent will all be candidates for increased roles. However, the primary beneficiary will likely be Jimmy Butler, as he will have to operate as the primary playmaker. The Heat may also turn to Bam Adebayo -- who recently returned from a nearly two-month absence -- to initiate the offense from the high post. With that said, Miami has continued to overcome major losses in the most unexpected ways this season, so fantasy managers are implored to monitor the Heat closely to see who stands out during their latest wave of absences.
Jan 17, 2022
Leads team with 23 points
Herro produced 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 104-99 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Herro continued his solid play off the bench recently by leading the Heat offensively in their 28th victory of the season. The Kentucky product has reached the 16-point mark in each of his past 10 games while averaging 22.1 points during that span. Herro and the Heat will look to capture their second straight win against Portland on Wednesday.
Jan 13, 2022
Leads Heat off bench in win
Herro produced 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-91 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Herro started three games between Dec. 31 and Jan. 3, but he has been playing off the bench most of the season and has settled as one of the best, most productive second-unit players in the league. Aside from ending just one rebound away from a triple-double in this game, Herro extended his streak of games with at least 15 points to seven contests. He's averaging 22.0 points per game across five appearances in January.
Jan 9, 2022
Explodes for season-high 33 points
Herro contributed 33 points (12-20 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 123-100 victory over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Herro came into the contest shooting just 29.1 percent from the field over his previous four games, but he caught fire against the team with the NBA's best record and rode the hot hand to a season-high 33 points. The third-year guard benefitted from improved shot selection -- despite the robust point total, he finished with his fewest tries from beyond the arc since Dec. 26. Herro's three-point shooting is a big part of his fantasy appeal, but it does hurt his overall field-goal rate, which sits at a career-worst 42.7 percent through 34 contests.
Jan 6, 2022
Struggles, then gets tossed
Herro ended with 16 points (5-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes before getting ejected from Wednesday's 115-109 win over the Trail Blazers. He was ejected in the fourth quarter.
ANALYSIS
Herro started the second half after Kyle Lowry was ejected in the second quarter, but he was unable to find his stroke despite leading Miami with 23 shot attempts. The third-year guard was also involved in a tussle with Jusuf Nurkic in the final minute of the contest that resulted in both players being ejected. Herro's role in the fracas -- it began when he apparently shoved Nurkic from behind -- may have been partly due to frustration with his own poor shooting, and it could result in a suspension from the league given previous precedent.
Jan 5, 2022
Shifts to bench
Herro will come off the bench Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro started the past three games and averaged 18.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.0 steals while shooting 31.7 percent from the field, and he'll move to the bench Wednesday. Max Strus is back from a four-game absence and will start in Herro's place, while Duncan Robinson (COVID-19 protocols) is also available as a reserve.
Jan 3, 2022
Inefficient shooting in spot start
Herro recorded 22 points (8-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 35 minutes during Sunday's 115-113 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Herro shifted into the starting lineup Sunday, putting up a team-high 22 points, albeit on inefficient shooting. The Production was fine here but Herro does still seem better suited to a bench role. As soon as the Heat are back to full strength, Herro will likely resume his role as the sixth-man. It's been a great season thus far and at this point, it seems Herro should be able to at least maintain late mid-round value the rest of the way.
Jan 1, 2022
Goes for 16 points, nine assists
Herro posted 16 points (5-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine assists and six rebounds in 38 minutes during Friday's 120-110 win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Herro struggled with his efficiency but matched his season-high nine assists. Friday marked his eighth start but he still figures to be the frontrunner for Sixth Man of the Year. In December, he averaged 18.4 points, 4.5 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 30.4 minutes.
Dec 29, 2021
Wednesday's game postponed
Herro and the Heat will not play the Spurs on Wednesday, as the game has been postponed due to the Heat's lack of eight available players, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami has six players in protocols and six out due to injury. The team's next chance to play is Friday against the Rockets, though fantasy managers should keep an eye on that contest as well. The Heat may opt to sign 10-day hardship players between now and then.
Dec 29, 2021
Leads Miami off bench Tuesday
Herro recorded 32 points (9-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 victory over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Excluding Sunday's game when he finished with just two points before fouling out, Herro has been one of Miami's biggest offensive threats all season long despite coming off the bench on a regular basis. Since returning to the team following a three-game absence earlier this month, the former Kentucky standout has surpassed the 25-point mark in three of his last four appearances. He's having a career-best season since he's averaging 20.6 points per game.
Dec 26, 2021
Exits early Sunday after two techs
Herro posted two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight assists, two rebounds and one steal in 19 minutes before he was ejected in the third quarter of Sunday's 93-83 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro was tossed with less than a minute left in the period after receiving his second technical foul of the day. The ejection resulted in Herro playing his fewest minutes of the season, but his production as a playmaker was encouraging prior to his departure. He could see a slight uptick in his assists in the short term while seeing more time on the ball in the absence of Kyle Lowry, who is in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
Dec 22, 2021
Erupts off the bench
Herro accumulated 26 points (8-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and five assists across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 125-96 victory over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro and Duncan Robinson (6-10 3Pt) blitzed Indiana, burying the Pacers by halftime. The outburst was a refreshing sight for fantasy managers after Herro had missed three games with a quad injury. The 21-year-old is shooting a career-best 39.3 percent from three on the season. He'll look to stay hot against the Pistons on Thursday.
Dec 21, 2021
Cleared to play
Herro (quadriceps) will play Tuesday against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro is making his return following a three-game absence. The Heat remain extremely shorthanded, so Herro will presumably take on even more usage than usual.
Dec 21, 2021
Upgraded to probable
Herro (quadriceps) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's contest against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last three games due to a bruised right quadriceps. However, the 21-year-old playmaker will likely make his return to action Tuesday. On the season, Herro is averaging 20.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 32.9 minutes per game.
Dec 20, 2021
Listed as questionable
Herro (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed three consecutive games due to a bruised right quadriceps. In his absence, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent have played much larger roles than usual off the bench, which will likely continue if Herro is eventually ruled out for Tuesday's contest.
Dec 19, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Herro (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be forced to miss a third consecutive game due to a bruised right quad. Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and KZ Okpala should see additional run Sunday.
Dec 19, 2021
Questionable Sunday
Herro (quadriceps) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the past two games with a bruised right quad. Once he returns, there will be fewer minutes for the likes of Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and KZ Okpala.
Dec 17, 2021
Out vs. Magic
Herro (quadriceps) is out Friday against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will sit out a second straight game, as the organization doesn't want to risk a setback when the sixth man is at less than 100 percent. Max Strus, KZ Okpala and Marcus Garrett could see more run.
Dec 17, 2021
Doubtful Friday
Herro (quadriceps) is doubtful Friday against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed shootaround, and the Heat are likely to sit him to avoid any setbacks. Assuming he's sidelined, more minutes could be available for Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and KZ Okpala.
Dec 17, 2021
Doesn't participate in shootaround
Herro (quadriceps) didn't participate in shootaround ahead of Friday's contest against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is officially listed as questionable, but his lack of participation at shootaround suggests he is trending in the wrong direction. If he is ruled out for a second straight contest, then Max Strus and Gabe Vincent should once again see increased playing time.
Dec 16, 2021
Questionable against Magic
Herro (quadriceps) is questionable for Friday's game against Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Herro was unavailable for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia but has a chance to return against the Magic. If he remains out, Max Strus and Gabe Vincent should see increased playing time.
Dec 15, 2021
Won't play Wednesday
Herro (quadriceps) won't play Wednesday against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro didn't participate in shootaround and will miss his first game since Nov. 29. The Heat currently only have 10 active players on their roster for Wednesday's contest, so Max Strus and Gabe Vincent will have to play big minutes against the 76ers.
Dec 14, 2021
Questionable for Wednesday
Herro (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro landed on the injury report Tuesday with a right quadriceps contusion. Miami has already ruled Jimmy Butler (back) and Caleb Martin (COVID-19 protocols) out for Wednesday, so losing Herro would be another big blow to their offensive potential. Over his last six games, the third-year guard is averaging 16.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.6 assists across 30.9 minutes per game.
Dec 13, 2021
Drops 12 points off bench
Herro tallied 12 points (6-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists during Monday's 105-94 loss to Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
This was Herro's fourth straight matchup coming in off the bench, but the Kentucky product still manages to produce at a solid rate. Herro scored in double figures for a third time since his last start Dec. 4 against the Bucks. Over his past seven appearances off the bench, the guard is averaging 18.4 points.
Dec 6, 2021
Leads team with 24 points
Herro finished with 24 points (11-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds during Monday's 105-90 loss to Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Herro returned to his normal bench role with Jimmy Butler back in the lineup, but the guard continued to play superbly. It was Herro's 12th straight time reaching the 15-point mark, as the guard primarily found his offensive groove from inside the arc to lead the team. The former Kentucky standout averaged 18.0 points along with 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists over his past three starts.
Dec 6, 2021
Back to bench
Herro is coming off the bench Monday against Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Herro looked solid in three straight starts, averaging 18.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists, but he'll head back to his usual bench role with Jimmy Butler (tailbone) cleared to return.
Dec 2, 2021
Delivers 21 points in defeat
Herro ended with 21 points (9-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and six assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 111-85 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed two games in a row in late November and Lowry was expected to take his place in the lineup due to a winning need. The third-year is averaging more than 21 points per game and is aiming to contribute on both sides of the ball on a regular basis.
Dec 1, 2021
Returning Wednesday
Herro (rest) will be active for Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The third-year-pro missed Miami's last two contests but will be back active for Wednesday night's matchup against Cleveland. The Heat will be without Jimmy Butler (tail bone) and Bam Adebayo (thumb), which may lead to Herro being Miami's No. 1 option on offense Wednesday night.
Nov 30, 2021
Probable Wednesday
Herro (rest) is probable for Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is expected to play Wednesday after missing back-to-back games with "general body soreness." The Kentucky product is in the middle of a breakout campaign, posting 21.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 33.6 minutes per game. Herro will look to pick up right where he left off, and he may be asked to do even more Wednesday, as the Heat currently have Bam Adebayo (thumb) and Jimmy Butler (back) listed as questionable.
Nov 29, 2021
Out again Monday
Herro (soreness) will not play Monday against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
This will be the second straight absence for Herro, who the Heat say is dealing with "general body soreness," so it's unclear if there's an underlying injury. Either way, he should be considered day-to-day as the Heat look ahead to Wednesday's home matchup against the Cavs. Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent and Max Strus could each pick up increased minutes in Herro's absence.
Nov 28, 2021
Questionable against Nuggets
Herro (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed Saturday's win over Chicago due to an illness, but he has a chance to return Monday. Gabe Vincent and Max Strus are in line for increased workloads if Herro is held out.
Nov 27, 2021
Downgraded to out
Herro (illness) is out for Saturday's contest against the Bulls, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was initially listed as active for the game, so this news comes as a bit of a surprise. In his absence, Gabe Vincent and Max Strus will likely see increased roles off the bench.
Nov 27, 2021
Will be active Saturday
Herro (illness) is active for Saturday's contest against the Bulls, but it's unclear if he will play or not, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Chiang reports that Herro is sick, and while he's active, he isn't guaranteed to play. Gabe Vincent and Max Strus would be the two mostly likely beneficiaries if Herro is unable to play his usual 21.8 minutes per game.
Nov 27, 2021
Questionable at Chicago
Herro is questionable against the Bulls on Saturday because of overall body soreness.
ANALYSIS
The news is surprising, considering there were no indications Herro was suffering from any soreness before Saturday. Multiple backups -- including Gabe Vincent and Max Strus -- are eligible to receive more playing time if the 21-year-old becomes unavailable.
Nov 23, 2021
Scores season-high 31 points
Herro totaled 31 points (12-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 100-92 victory over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
The Heat struggled offensively, but Herro was an exception. He scored an efficient season-high 31 points, continuing his impressive campaign off the bench. He's scored at least 19 points in each of his past seven appearances.
Nov 20, 2021
Listed as available
Herro (wrist) is listed as available for Saturday's contest against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Coach Erik Spoelstra said, "we'll see" when asked about Herro and Bam Adebayo, but they're both listed as available, so there might be some miscommunication between Spoelstra and the medical staff. Ultimately, it seems appropriate to assume Herro is good to go since that's what's listed on the official injury report.
Nov 20, 2021
Goes through shootaround
Herro (wrist) participated in Saturday's shootaround ahead of Miami's matchup with Washington, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed the Heats' previous game. He was subsequently ruled out for Saturday's contest before getting upgraded to questionable Friday. His presence at shootaround indicates he is still trending in the right direction, but final confirmation on his status is unlikely to come until closer to tip-off. The sharpshooter is averaging career highs across the board with 21.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.8 triples across 33.8 minutes per game.
Nov 19, 2021
Upgraded to questionable
Herro (wrist) was upgraded from out to questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Wizards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is seemingly feeling better than expected, and there's a chance he returns following a one-game absence. If he remains out despite the upgrade, Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin are candidates for extra minutes.
Nov 19, 2021
Out again Saturday
Herro (wrist) won't play Saturday against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss his second straight game with a bruised right wrist. The Heat don't play again until Tuesday, which should give the prolific sixth man amble time to return from what is considered a minor injury. In his absence, Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin will likely continue to see 20-plus minutes off the bench.
Nov 18, 2021
Ruled out Thursday
Herro (wrist) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Making his fourth straight start Wednesday against New Orleans, Herro came through with 19 points, five assists and three rebounds, but he emerged from the victory with a bruised right wrist. It doesn't look to be anything too serious, but the Heat have been cautious with injuries thus far, so they'll hold him out of action on the second half of a back-to-back. Kyle Lowry, who rested Wednesday, will return to the starting five, while Bam Adebayo (knee) will also make his return to action.
Nov 18, 2021
Questionable Thursday
Herro is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to a bruised right wrist.
ANALYSIS
Herro logged 19 points, five assists and three rebounds in 37 minutes Wednesday, but he'll carry an injury designation into the second half of the back-to-back set. Gabe Vincent and Max Strus should see increased playing time if Herro is unavailable.
Nov 17, 2021
Delivers 19 points in blowout
Herro scored 19 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and had five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-98 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old made his fourth straight start with Kyle Lowry (rest) sitting out Wednesday, though Jimmy Butler (ankle) returned to lead the offense with 31 points. Herro figures to take on a lighter workload for the set half of the back-to-back set Thursday versus the Wizards, with both Lowry and Butler likely to be available, and Bam Adebayo (knee) could also retake the court.
Nov 17, 2021
Will remain in lineup
Herro will start Wednesday's game against the Pelicans in place of Kyle Lowry (rest), according to Heat reporter Wes Goldberg.
ANALYSIS
This will be the fourth straight start for Herro, who typically serves as the sixth man but had been filling in for the injured Jimmy Butler (ankle). Miami will get Butler back Wednesday, but with Lowry taking the night off, Herro will shift down to point guard and remain in the starting five. The third-year guard has been on fire to begin the year, and he's averaging 25.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.8 threes over his last four contests.
Nov 15, 2021
Leads team with 26 points
Herro produced 26 points (9-18 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT) seven rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes in Monday's 103-90 win over the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
With Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo sidelined, the Heat were short-handed but prevailed thanks to performances by Herro and Duncan Robinson. The Kentucky product is having a career season in his third year with the Heat. Through 13 games, Herro is averaging 21.5 points, 5/6 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
Nov 13, 2021
Scores 27 vs. Jazz
Herro recorded 27 points (10-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 111-105 win over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Herro was cold from three but made up for it by draining his two-pointers and getting to the charity stripe. His four turnovers are a bit of a concern, though the Jazz are an elite defense. Saturday's performance marked the ninth time this season Herro has scored at least 20 points.
Nov 12, 2021
Totals 23 points Thursday
Herro started and played 39 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Clippers, finishing with 23 points (10-23 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal.
ANALYSIS
With Jimmy Butler (ankle) out of commission, Herro made his first start of the campaign and tallied his third-highest minutes total. Though he was unable to connect from deep, the 21-year-old still managed to put up over 20 points for the third time in his past four contests. Herro is on pace for the best statistical season of his career, posting per-game averages of 21.1 points, 2.8 three-pointers, 5.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists through 12 games. Each of those numbers would qualify as a career-best mark for the third-year guard.
Nov 11, 2021
Starting at Los Angeles
Herro is starting Thursday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The Heat needed a fifth starter in place of an injured Jimmy Butler (ankle). Though he will be playing alongside Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry more than before, Herro's most recent stat line could be reassuring to fantasy managers who have him. Herro scored 22 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt) after Butler exited the previous Heat-Lakers game because of his ankle injury.
Nov 11, 2021
Available Thursday
Herro (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been listed as questionable the last two games with lower back soreness but has still managed to play in both of them. He'll look to continue his strong play against the Clippers after having 27 points against the Lakers on Wednesday.
Nov 11, 2021
Questionable once again
Herro (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been dealing with lower back soreness recently, but he hasn't been forced to miss any time. Across his last three appearances, he's averaged 22.3 points, 3.7 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 35.7 minutes per game.
Nov 11, 2021
Pours in 27 points off bench
Herro finished Wednesday's overtime loss to the Lakers with 27 points (11-22 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 42 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Herro trailed only Bam Adebayo (28 points) for high-scoring honors among Heat players in the contest, and he played a season-high 42 minutes in the loss. Despite coming off the bench in every game for Miami thus far this season, Herro ranks second on the club with 20.9 points per contest. He is tied for 15th in the NBA with 33 three-pointers.
Nov 10, 2021
Available to play Wednesday
Herro (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Mark Medina of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will be available for the Heat during Wednesday's marquee matchup despite nursing back soreness. Herro is currently averaging 20.3 points, 5.4 rebounds 4.0 assists.
Nov 10, 2021
Expected to play vs. Lakers
Herro (back) is likely to play Wednesday against the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is dealing with lower back soreness, but it shouldn't prevent him from playing. He's averaging 20.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 31.5 minutes.
Nov 9, 2021
Questionable vs. Lakers
Herro is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to lower back tightness.
ANALYSIS
Herro has slowed down a bit after his emphatic start to the year but is still the frontrunner for Sixth Man of the Year while averaging 20.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 31.5 minutes. If he sits out, more minutes would be available for Max Strus (knee), Caleb Martin (thumb) and Gabe Vincent.
Nov 7, 2021
Explosive off bench once again
Herro recorded 29 points (11-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 34 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win over Utah.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been one of the best bench players in the league through the first few weeks of the season, as he has scored at least 20 points in six of his nine appearances -- including at least 22 points in four of his last five. It's still early in the season and Herro is likely to regress at some point, but he's averaging a career-high 21.3 points per game to begin the campaign.
Oct 31, 2021
Productive off bench again
Herro mustered 22 points (8-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes off the bench in Saturday's win at Memphis.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been one of the most productive bench scorers in the first two weeks of the season and the numbers back that up, as he has scored at least 20 points in four of his first six contests. He's also scoring the rack at a consistent rate, shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from three-point range to begin the year. Both marks would be career-best figures if he's able to maintain them throughout the year.
Oct 29, 2021
Drops 26 in win
Herro had 26 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and a steal in Friday's win over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Herro was coming off of a 5-of-17 shooting night against the Nets on Wednesday, and he bounced back with his third 20-plus-point scoring game in five appearances. The third-year guard had somewhat of a disappointing 2020-21 season, but he looked like a much-improved player during the preseason, and thus far it's carried over.
Oct 26, 2021
Flirts with double-double
Herro provided 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine assists and five rebounds across 30 minutes in Monday's 107-90 win over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Herro continued to excel as the Heat's sixth man despite the return of Kyle Lowry. Although Lowry's insertion into the starting five had the potential to curb Herro's production, it had little to no effect. Herro played identical minutes and exceeded Lowry in almost every statistical category.
Oct 24, 2021
Sizzling off the bench Saturday
Herro went for 30 points (12-28 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and 10 rebounds across 41 minutes off the bench in Saturday's overtime win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro has looked nothing short of outstanding in his first two games off the bench for Miami, topping the 25-point mark in each one and providing instant offense at a high level. While Herro is not likely to offer a lot of value in other categories -- even if he has already racked up 16 rebounds through two appearances -- he should be a valuable scoring asset for Miami on a routine basis.
Oct 22, 2021
Explodes for 27 points Thursday
Herro totaled 27 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 24 minutes during Thursday's 137-95 victory over Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Herro put on an offensive show in the season opener, torching the Bucks who, let's be honest, barely put up a fight. After a strong preseason, Herro has firmly established himself as the sixth-man for the Heat and should be given plenty of opportunities to put the ball in the basket. He won't be this good every night but should still do enough to warrant a roster spot in 12-team formats.
Oct 15, 2021
Drops 29 in preseason finale
Herro finished Friday's preseason game with 29 points (10-15 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a relatively disappointing sophomore campaign, Herro has looked like a much more confident and dynamic player in the preseason. Herro topped 20 points in four of his five exhibition appearances and could be poised for a breakout season as Miami's sixth man and de facto backup point guard behind Kyle Lowry. Herro closed last season averaging 15.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.0 threes per game.
Oct 13, 2021
Sitting out Thursday
Herro (rest) will not play Thursday against the Hawks, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat will hold out virtually all of their regulars as they head into a Thursday/Friday back-to-back to finish out the preseason. At least some of those regulars will likely be active for Friday's finale back in Miami against the Celtics.
Oct 4, 2021
Goes for 26 points in 26 minutes
Herro had 26 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in Monday's preseason win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Starting at one guard spot with Jimmy Butler (rest) out, Herro took full advantage of the opportunity, pouring in a game-high in points and adding contributions across the board. Last season was somewhat of a letdown for Herro, whose profile exploded after Miami's run to the 2020 NBA Finals, but the Heat will be counting on the 21-year-old to take a step forward this season.
Oct 4, 2021
Gets start in preseason opener
Herro is starting Monday's preseason game against Atlanta, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro steps into the starting five with Jimmy Butler being held out due to rest. He'll start alongside his new teammate, Kyle Lowry, in the backcourt.
Sep 3, 2021
Miami exercise 2022-23 option
The Heat exercised the $5.7 million fourth-year option on Herro's rookie scale contract for 2022-23, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was a core part of Miami's run to the finals during the 2019-2020 playoffs, averaging 16.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists across 33.4 minutes per game. Last year, the 21-year-old improved in every statistical category from his rookie season, but it is still unclear what Herro's ceiling is. The Heat, as expected, will retain the Kentucky product throughout his four-year rookie contract, but the real question is what kind of extension will Herro demand next summer. Miami shelled out a five-year, $163 million extension to Bam Adebayo last year and a five-year, $90 million extension to Duncan Robinson this summer, so they may not be able to afford another contract of that size anytime soon.
May 27, 2021
Scores nine points on 10 shots
Herro posted nine points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Thursday's 113-84 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Herro saw his highest minute total of the series so far in the blowout loss, but he still wasn't able to get much going as he continued to shoot poorly. The 21-year-old is shooting a terrible 7-of-25 from the floor through three games.
May 25, 2021
Invisible in blowout loss
Herro had four points (1-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in Monday's Game 2 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
After going just 2-of-10 from the field in Game 1, Herro struggled again Monday as Miami fell into an 0-2 series hole. A year ago, Herro was the breakout star of the playoffs, but he hasn't looked quite as dynamic for most of this season, and he's dealt with some wild swings in shooting efficiency.
May 17, 2021
Dishes out 11 dimes Sunday
Herro had 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 assists and six rebounds across 35 minutes in Sunday's win over the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Herro was one of the few Miami regulars that didn't take the night off Sunday and took advantage of the increased role, as he's been playing off the bench in most nights with Kendrick Nunn and Goran Dragic earning most of the minutes at the point guard position. The former Kentucky standout is widely expected to return to his second-unit role once the playoffs get underway, thus limiting his upside in most DFS formats.
May 16, 2021
Starting regular-season finale
Herro will start Sunday's game against Detroit, Rod Beard of the Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is one of the few regulars who isn't resting, so he could be set for an increased workload as Miami closes out the regular season schedule. Either way, he'll function as the No. 1 scoring option for as long as he's on the floor.
May 14, 2021
Drains four three-pointers
Herro scored 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added six rebounds over 29 minutes in a 106-94 victory over Miami on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The second-year guard filled his usual instant-offense role off the bench, finishing tied with Bam Adebayo for the second-most points on the team in the win. Herro knocked down exactly four three-pointers for the second straight game and has now made multiple treys in six straight contests. He is averaging 20.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.0 three-pointers in his past four games.
May 12, 2021
Double-doubles in victory
Herro finished with 24 points (10-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 129-121 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Herro was fantastic for the Heat, especially after Jimmy Butler (eye) was unable to finish the game. Herro started the second half and if Butler is forced to miss time, he would likely be the primary beneficiary. As the Heat prepare to make a deep run into the playoffs, the hope is that Herro has moved on from his recent foot injury. If that is the case and he is ready to slide into a sizeable role once again, he could certainly put up some tasty fantasy numbers over the final three games of the regular season.
May 8, 2021
Drops 27 off bench in return
Herro had 27 points (10-13 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and three rebounds in Friday's win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
After missing six straight games due to injury, Herro returned in dominant fashion, drilling six three-pointers and posting his most efficient shooting game of the entire season. The guard had been bothered by a sore foot for much of April, but the hope is that the injury is behind him and he'll round into form as the postseason quickly approaches.
May 7, 2021
Will return Friday
Herro (foot) will make his return Friday against the Timberwolves, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
After a six-game absence due to right foot soreness, Herro will be back in action Friday. We shouldn't be surprised if he sees fewer minutes than usual, given the long layoff.
May 6, 2021
Questionable vs. Wolves
Herro (foot) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Right foot soreness has kept Herro out for six straight games. If he returns Friday, there's a chance he'll be on a minutes limit.
May 3, 2021
Still out Tuesday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be sidelined for the sixth straight contest as he continues to nurse the foot injury. Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic and Duncan Robinson should continue handling the bulk of the backcourt work for the Heat since Victor Oladipo (knee) also remains unavailable.
Apr 30, 2021
Out Saturday, Sunday
Herro (foot) is not travelling for the Heat's weekend road trip, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss the Heat's games Saturday against the Cavaliers and Sunday against the Hornets. In his place, Gabe Vincent (knee) should continue seeing extra minutes.
Apr 28, 2021
Out Wednesday
Herro (foot) is out Wednesday against the Spurs, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Right foot soreness will cause the sophomore to miss a third straight game. In his absence, Gabe Vincent (knee) could see extra minutes.
Apr 27, 2021
Questionable vs. Spurs
Herro (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed three of the past five games due to right foot soreness. With Kendrick Nunn (neck) also questionable, the Heat could be shorthanded in the backcourt again. If that's the case, look for Gabe Vincent (knee) and Max Strus to see more action.
Apr 25, 2021
Questionable Monday
Herro (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was unable to take the court Saturday due to right foot soreness, but he has a chance to return Monday. If he's unavailable once again, Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent could see increased run for Miami.
Apr 24, 2021
Out Saturday
Herro (foot) won't play in Saturday's game against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Herro battled through the injury during Friday's loss to the Hawks, posting 12 points and two rebounds in 17 minutes of action. Being that Saturday's game is the second of a back-to-back for the Heat, the team is presumably proceeding with caution with their young sharpshooter and will keep him on the sidelines. With Herro officially out Saturday, Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent will likely see increased run.
Apr 23, 2021
Cleared to play
Herro (foot) will play Friday against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite some right foot soreness, Herro will take the court for a second straight game. This month, he's averaged 12.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 27.3 minutes.
Apr 22, 2021
Questionable Friday
Herro (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Herro continues to be bothered by right foot soreness, but he was able to play in Wednesday's game against the Spurs and put up 22 points, six rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes. If he sits out Friday, more minutes would be available for Max Strus, Kendrick Nunn and KZ Okpala.
Apr 21, 2021
Puts up 22 points in win
Herro went for 22 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's win over the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Coming off of a one-game absence due to a sore foot, Herro was still nursing the injury, but he played through it and broke out of a recent mini-slump. Over his previous three games, Herro had totaled just 18 points on 7-of-30 shooting, including 2-of-11 from beyond the arc. His five threes Wednesday tied a season high, which he initially set on March 25 against Portland.
Apr 21, 2021
Warming up with intention to play
Herro (foot) is warming up for Wednesday's contest against the Spurs with the intention to play, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro technically remains questionable, but it sounds like he might be trending more toward probable. He missed Monday's game due to right foot soreness.
Apr 20, 2021
Questionable for Wednesday
Herro (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, the Heat will wait to see how Herro feels at shootaround Wednesday before updating his status. It should be viewed as a positive sign that he traveled with the team for the two-game road trip which also includes a stop in Atlanta on Friday.
Apr 19, 2021
Officially out Monday
Herro (foot) will not play in Monday's game against Houston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was initially listed as out Monday morning, then he was bumped up to questionable midway through the day. Ultimately, the second-year guard will get the night off to rest his sore right foot which has bothered him for the last several games. Consider Herro day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game at San Antonio.
Apr 19, 2021
Chance to play Monday
Herro (foot) was upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was previously ruled out for Monday's contest due to soreness in his right foot, but he's since been upgraded to questionable. Herro has struggled over the past three games while playing through the injury, averaging 6.0 points, 5.3 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 25.0 minutes while shooting 23.3 percent from the field.
Apr 19, 2021
Won't play Monday
Herro (foot) will not play in Monday's game against Houston due to a sore right foot.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been playing through the issue for the last few games, and it may explain why he's been mired in a major offensive slump. Over the last three games, Herro has totaled just 18 points on 7-of-30 shooting, including 2-of-11 from beyond the arc. His next chance to play will come Wednesday when the Heat travel to San Antonio to take on the Spurs.
Apr 18, 2021
Another poor shooting game
Herro finished Sunday's win over the Nets with just nine points (4-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt) to go with six assists and four rebounds.
ANALYSIS
After scoring in double figures in 10 straight games from March 25 through April 13, Herro has fallen into a major slump of late, totaling only 18 points over his last three games. In that stretch, he's a combined 7-of-30 from the field and 2-of-11 from three.
Apr 12, 2021
Double-digit streak continues
Herro finished Sunday's win over Portland with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals.
ANALYSIS
Playing through a minor foot injury, Herro saw his regular workload (30 minutes) and scored in double figures for the ninth game in a row. The Kentucky product is averaging 17.2 points on 50-45-78 shooting during that stretch while adding 3.6 boards, 3.2 assists and 0.9 steals per contest.
Apr 11, 2021
Available Sunday
Herro (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was questionable due to right foot soreness heading into Sunday's matchup. Across his past eight appearances, Herro has averaged 17.6 points, 3.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per game.
Apr 10, 2021
Questionable with foot soreness
Herro is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right foot soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is in the midst of a great stretch, so a potential absence would be unfortunate for fantasy managers. Over the past eight games, he's averaged 17.6 points on 49.5 percent shooting, 3.3 assists and 3.1 rebounds in 31.3 minutes. If Herro is sidelined Sunday, Gabe Vincent (knee) and Kendrick Nunn could see more run.
Apr 9, 2021
Drains four threes Thursday
Herro scored 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and chpped in two rebounds along with two steals across 31 minutes in a 110-104 victory over the Lakers on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Herro came off the bench but ranked second on the club with 31 minutes in the win. The sharpshooter earned his time on the floor by drilling a team-high four treys. The sophomore guard is posting per-game averages of 15.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.0 three-pointers on the season.
Apr 8, 2021
Cleared to play
Herro (foot) will be available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
A sore foot landed Herro on the injury list with a probable designation, but his status was never in too much jeopardy. The second-year guard will look to continue his recent hot streak, as he's averaged 18.0 points, 3.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 48.9 percent from the field over his last seven contests.
Apr 7, 2021
Battling sore foot
Herro is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a sore left foot.
ANALYSIS
The Heat aren't expecting Herro to miss any time, but his status is something to monitor as Thursday's game approaches. Herro has been on a nice run over the last seven games, putting up averages of 18.0 points, 3.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds with a 49-41-84 shooting line.
Apr 7, 2021
Drains four threes Tuesday
Herro scored 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding four assists, two rebounds and a block in 27 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The second-year guard continues to anchor Miami's second unit, leading the group in scoring Tuesday while hitting for double-digit points in his seventh straight game. Herro is averaging 18.0 points, 3.6 assists, 3.3 boards and 2.6 threes over that stretch while playing 31.3 minutes a night, giving him solid fantasy value despite his lack of a starting role.
Apr 1, 2021
Does it all in win
Herro posted 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
This was the 21-year-old's fourth game of the season where he recorded both a steal and a block in the same game. Herro's clutch scoring off the bench has helped propel Miami to three wins in a row. The second-year guard is averaging 18.3 points, 3.0 assists and 2.7 three-pointers over his last three games, and he should continue providing consistent points and three-pointers along with low-end assists for the fifth-seeded Heat the rest of the way.
Mar 29, 2021
Goes for 18 in win
Herro went for 18 points (6-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and three rebounds in Monday's win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro's production has been up-and-down of late, but he's now scored in double figures in eight of the last nine games. Herro is shooting just 32.1 percent from three on the year, but his four threes Monday give him 10 treys over his last three games.
Mar 25, 2021
Scores 29 points off bench
Herro posted 29 points (9-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight assists, four rebounds and a steal across 35 minutes off the bench in Thursday's loss against the Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Herro looked more like his old self from last season's playoffs and carried Miami offensively, drilling five of his nine treys en route to his third-best scoring output of the campaign. Despite the fact that Herro has been coming off the bench regularly, he continues to produce at a high level and has scored in double digits in six of his last seven contests, including four games with at least 15 points in that span.
Mar 24, 2021
Picks up five assists
Herro recorded seven points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one steal in a 110-100 loss to the Suns on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Herro's struggles from three continued, as he is shooting just 19 percent from distance in his first eight games since returning from the All-Star break. The guard also failed to get to the charity stripe which is what fueled a streak of five consecutive games of double figure scoring prior to Tuesday's contest. Herro is the team's third-leading scorer at 15.1 points per game, but fantasy managers would certainly like to see him shoot the ball at a much more efficient clip.
Mar 21, 2021
Scores 11 off bench
Herro posted 11 points (4-16 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 36 minutes during Sunday's 109-106 overtime loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old missed all seven of his three-point attempts but salvaged his day with five rebounds, four assists and one block. Herro's production is up across the board in his second NBA season, averaging 15.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.7 three-pointers in 32 games. The second-year guard should continue leading the Heats' second unit while providing fantasy managers with consistent points, rebounds and assists, albeit with a low field-goal percentage.
Mar 20, 2021
Continues to struggle from field
Herro played 28 minutes off the bench and registered 15 points (4-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one steal Friday in the loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro has struggled from the field for the entire month of March. He's shot under 40 percent in six of eight games from both beyond the arc and overall shooting. He has dished out five or more assists just once in eight games. The good news is that he's seen greater than 25 minutes in seven of eight contests.
Mar 17, 2021
Plays 32 minutes despite injury cloud
Herro totaled 15 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-98 victory over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Herro played through his recent shoulder concern and given he was able to deliver 32 minutes of court time during a game that was generally well under control, we can only assume the best. He has been a little banged up this season but he has been able to play sizeable minutes in recent games and so the hope is that he could be coming out there other side, ready for a strong finish to the season.
Mar 16, 2021
Officially available Tuesday
Herro (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was probable heading into Tuesday's matchup, so it's not very surprising that he'll be able to play through a strained shoulder once again. He scored 22 points with eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 29 minutes in Sunday's win over Orlando.
Mar 15, 2021
Listed probable for Tuesday
Herro (shoulder) is considered probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been playing through a strained shoulder of late, but he certainly did not appear hampered during Sunday's win over the Magic in which he scored 22 points and added eight boards, three assists, one steal and one block. Barring a setback, Herro should again be available for his usual role of 27-to-30 minutes off the bench.
Mar 14, 2021
Goes for 22-8-3 off bench
Herro posted 22 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in Sunday's win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Herro shook off a shoulder injury to have one of his better games of the season in 29 minutes off the bench. He reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Feb. 18 and grabbed his most rebounds in any game since Feb. 17. Entering Sunday, Herro had averaged just 8.0 points on 30.0 percent shooting over his last four games.
Mar 14, 2021
Available against Orlando
Herro (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was dealing with a shoulder strain ahead of Sunday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through the injury. He'll come off the bench once again and will attempt to bounce back after converting on just one of his 12 attempts from beyond the arc over the past three games.
Mar 14, 2021
Questionable Sunday
Herro is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to a shoulder strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro struggled in Friday's win over the Bulls, but he apparently sustained a shoulder injury and was a late addition to the injury report for Sunday's game. If he's unable to play, Gabe Vincent (knee) and Goran Dragic could see increased run for the Heat.
Mar 13, 2021
Rough outing in win over Bulls
Herro had just four points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds in Friday's win over Chicago.
ANALYSIS
The Heat were able to pull out the victory, but Herro's struggles continued, as he's now just 1-of-12 from deep over his last three games. Herro's counting stats -- 15.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists per game -- are rock-solid, but he's been a disappointment from beyond the arc, connecting on just 33.1 percent of his attempts through 27 games.
Mar 12, 2021
Struggles from distance continue
Playing 29 minutes off the bench in Thursday's win over the Magic, Herro scored 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding five assists, four rebounds and one steal.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been a mess from distance of late. In his last three games, he's gone just 4-for-16 (25 percent) though his overall shooting hasn't been all great either as he is 11-for-33 (33 percent) over that span. His 17 points mark just the second time he's hit double-digit scoring in his last five outings.
Mar 2, 2021
Struggles from field
Herro scored nine points (3-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt) to go along with five rebounds, one assist and four steals across 28 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Herro was scoreless through the first half, missing all four of his shots from the field. He got more involved in the final two quarters, but has gone only 7-for-22 from the field in two games since returning from a hip injury. Despite the down performance, Herro still managed to drill three triples and register his first multi-steal effort of the campaign.
Mar 1, 2021
Plays as sixth man in return
Herro (hip) tallied 14 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes Sunday in the Heat's 109-99 win over the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Back in action after a three-game absence, Herro was deployed off the bench. The Heat could choose to keep Herro as their sixth man moving forward, a role that will afford him more opportunities as a lead playmaker than he might enjoy while playing alongside Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo on the top unit. Herro has come off the bench for each of his last nine appearances, averaging 16.0 points (on 44.4 percent shooting from the field), 5.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.3 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes.
Feb 28, 2021
Available against Atlanta
Herro (hip) is available for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed the last three games due to a right hip contusion, but he'll be back in action Sunday. It's not yet clear whether he'll have restrictions against the Hawks, but he's averaging 16.4 points and 6.2 rebounds over 31.8 minutes per game across his past five appearances.
Feb 27, 2021
Questionable Sunday
Herro (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last three games due to a right hip bruise. If he's held out once again Sunday, Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic and Gabe Vincent should continue to see increased run for Miami.
Feb 26, 2021
Ruled out Friday
Herro (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Herro was questionable heading into Friday's matchup, but he'll miss a third straight game due to a right hip bruise. Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic and Gabe Vincent should continue to see increased run in his absence.
Feb 25, 2021
Questionable vs. Jazz
Herro (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
A bruised right hip has prevented Herro from playing in each of the past two games, and he could miss a third game Friday. If he does sit out, Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic and Gabe Vincent remain candidates to see extra run.
Feb 24, 2021
Out Wednesday
Herro (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is still dealing with a hip injury and will miss his second consecutive game Wednesday. As a result, Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent figure to be the primary options at shooting guard for the Heat. Herro's next opportunity to return will come Friday against the Jazz.
Feb 23, 2021
Questionable Wednesday
Herro (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday's game against the Lakers and sat out Monday's matchup with the Thunder. Herro figures to be one of the first options off the bench if cleared to play Wednesday.
Feb 22, 2021
Ruled out
Herro (hip) won't play Monday against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was initially listed as questionable due to a hip contusion, and the team has determined that he's unable to go in Oklahoma City. Expect Duncan Robinson and Andre Iguodala to shoulder more of the load as a result.
Feb 21, 2021
Questionable Monday
Herro (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered a right hip contusion during Saturday's game against the Lakers. If he's unable to play against Oklahoma City, Gabe Vincent and Kendrick Nunn should see increased usage for the Heat.
Feb 20, 2021
Injures hip
Herro (hip) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered a right hip contusion during the first half of Saturday's game. The Heat will subject him to further medical evaluation before making a decision on his return.
Feb 18, 2021
Grabs 15 rebounds off bench
Herro had 11 points (3-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in Wednesday's overtime loss to the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Herro had his worst night of the season from the field, but he salvaged a productive fantasy line by tying his season high in rebounds, as well as blocked shots. Over his last two games, Herro has recorded five blocks -- the most in any two-game span of his career thus far.
Feb 16, 2021
Drops 27 points in loss Monday
Herro contributed 27 points (11-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Monday's 125-118 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro finished with 27 points in the loss, the most he has scored in a game in over a month. His playing time has been more than adequate in recent times and so perhaps he is finally over his neck injury that kept him out earlier in the season. Despite being outside the top-150 for the season, he has elevated his play to sit as the 109th ranked player over the past two weeks, making him more than worthy of a standard league roster spot.
Feb 14, 2021
Provides bench scoring in return
Herro (COVID-19 health and safety protocols) played 33 minutes off the bench Saturday in the Heat's 112-94 loss to the Jazz, finishing with 12 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds and one steal.
ANALYSIS
Since Herro only missed one game while he was in the protocol, he didn't face any restrictions with his playing time in his return to action. Though Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra still elected to bring Herro off the bench, both the second-year guard as well as Kendrick Nunn -- who started Saturday -- should benefit from elevated minutes while Miami is without Goran Dragic (ankle) and Avery Bradley (calf).
Feb 12, 2021
Clear of COVID-19 protocols
Herro cleared the COVID-19 protocols and will be available for Saturday's game at Utah.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was unavailable for the first game of the road trip Thursday in Houston, but he's ready to go with the team now in Utah. Herro should return to his role as Miami's sixth man now that he's cleared the health and safety protocols.
Feb 11, 2021
Out due to protocols
Herro (COVID-19 protocols) will not play in Thursday's game against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is a late scratch for Thursday's contest due to his placement in the league's health and safety protocols. It isn't the first time this season that Herro has been in the league's protocols and it's unclear if he tested positive or if the absence is related to contact tracing. The 21-year-old guard's absence should give Gabe Vincent a shot at more minutes.
Feb 9, 2021
Nails three triples
Herro scored 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt) to go along with seven rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro came off the bench for the third consecutive game, though he's still averaged 32.3 minutes in that span. He continued to struggle with his shot, as he's converted his field-goal attempts at only a 42.6 percent clip in seven games since returning from a neck injury -- down 4.3 percentage points from his first 10 contests this season. There's still plenty to like about Herro's stat lines however, particularly his strong rebounding ability as a guard.
Feb 7, 2021
Dominant off bench
Herro scored 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt) to go with six rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes in Sunday's 109-103 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Herro has come off the bench in each of the past two games, but he hasn't seen a significant decrease in playing time as a result. He's remained productive, averaging 16.5 points per game over the past two contests. He was the team's top depth player Sunday and should continue to have a prominent role for Miami regardless of his starting status.
Feb 5, 2021
Not starting Friday
Herro isn't starting Friday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Herro had scored in double figures while starting each of the last four games, but he'll come off the bench with Goran Dragic (knee) starting for Miami. Despite his bench role, Herro should still see plenty of run against the Wizards.
Feb 3, 2021
Scores team-high 20 points
Herro posted 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt) while adding two rebounds across 34 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro has now scored in double digits in seven straight games, though he has been very inconsistent with his other contributions across the board. He is averaging 21.0 points, 5.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists during that six-game span.
Feb 3, 2021
Cleared to play
Herro (knee) will play Wednesday against the Wizards, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will play through a bruised knee. Herro is averaging 15.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 35.0 minutes in three games since missing seven contests due to a neck issue.
Feb 2, 2021
Likely to play Wednesday
Herro is probable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to knee contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old is dealing with a knee bruise, but it should affect his availability for Wednesday's contests against Washington. Herro is averaging 15.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 35.0 minutes in three games since missing seven contests due to a neck issue.
Feb 1, 2021
Available Monday
Herro (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Monday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was considered questionable due to the COVID-19 protocols after some he lives with tested positive for the virus, but he's apparently good to go for Monday's contest. Herro is averaging 17.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 36.0 minutes in two games since a seven-game absence due to neck issues.
Jan 31, 2021
Questionable for Monday
Herro (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old had 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 40 minutes Saturday against the Kings, but his availability is now in question after someone he lives with tested positive for COVID-19. Herro didn't practice Sunday, so he may be forced to miss some time due to the league's health and safety protocols.
Jan 30, 2021
Quarantine status in question
Herro's status for Monday's game against the Hornets is up in the air after someone he lives with tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old played 40 minutes during Saturday's win over the Kings and had 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two blocks. Herro's availability for the immediate future is now in question, and he could be forced to re-enter the league's health and safety protocols.
Jan 30, 2021
Back in action Saturday
Herro (neck) is available Saturday against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was considered questionable for Saturday after making his return from a seven-game absence Thursday, but he's good to go versus Sacramento. Herro started and played 32 minutes last time out and should operate in his usual role.
Jan 29, 2021
Deemed questionable for Saturday
Herro sports a questionable tag for Saturday's game against the Kings, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro may still be experiencing issues with the neck problem that cost him Wednesday's game, despite his return to action Thursday. Official word on his status against Sacramento should surface at some point on game day.
Jan 28, 2021
Double-double in return
Herro (neck) recorded 19 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 109-105 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro missed the previous seven games with neck spasms, yet still managed to lead the team in scoring in his return. Herro had a difficult time knocking down his shot during his first game back, but he did not let them stop him from hoisting up a team-high 21 shot attempts.
Jan 28, 2021
Cleared to play
Herro (neck) will play Thursday against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
After missing seven games due to neck spasms, Herro will be back in action against the shorthanded Clippers. He's been stepping up in the continued absence of Jimmy Butler (COVID-19), with Herro averaging 17.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 33.7 minutes.
Jan 28, 2021
Could be back Thursday
Herro (neck) is questionable Thursday against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the past seven games due to back spasms, but he could return as soon as Thursday. He's been great this season in his 10 appearances, averaging 17.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 33.7 minutes.
Jan 27, 2021
Remains out Wednesday
Herro (neck) won't play Wednesday against the Nuggets, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was considered questionable for Wednesday's contest but will end up missing his seventh consecutive contest. Goran Dragic (groin) is also sidelined, leaving Kendrick Nunn, Gabe Vincent and Avery Bradley to handle point duties versus Denver. Herro will have another chance to retake the court in the second half of the back-to-back set Thursday against the Clippers.
Jan 26, 2021
Could return Wednesday
Herro (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old has sat out the last six games with neck spasms, but he may be able to retake the court Wednesday. Herro could have some limitations if available since he hasn't seen game action in nearly two weeks. Goran Dragic (groin) is also questionable, so it's worth keeping an eye on Miami's injury report for Wednesday.
Jan 22, 2021
Out through Monday
Herro (neck) has been sent home and will be out Friday against the Raptors, plus Saturday and Monday against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Neck spasms continue to keep Herro out, and he's apparently in so much discomfort that the team has opted to just send him home for the remainder of the road trip. In his absence, Kendrick Nunn figures to continue seeing extra run.
Jan 21, 2021
Questionable Friday
Herro (neck) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed three straight games due to neck spasms, but he could return Friday. In his absence, Goran Dragic and Kendrick Nunn have seen extra run.
Jan 20, 2021
Missing third straight game
Herro (neck) is unavailable Wednesday against the Raptors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The guard was considered questionable due to the neck spasms and won't be suiting up on his 21st birthday, marking his third straight absence. Goran Dragic and Kendrick Nunn should continue to handle point duties with Herro sidelined.
Jan 19, 2021
Questionable for Wednesday's game
Herro (neck) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Herro has missed the last two games due to neck spasms, and he remains questionable for Wednesday's game. If the guard is able to return on what will be his 21st birthday, he'll have a chance to put up big numbers with Jimmy Butler and Avery Bradley sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols.
Jan 18, 2021
Ruled out Monday
Herro (neck) will not play in Monday's game against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was held out of Saturday's game against Detroit due to neck spasms, and he'll now miss a second straight game. From a minutes standpoint, expect Kendrick Nunn to be the primary beneficiary Monday.
Jan 17, 2021
Officially questionable Monday
Herro (neck) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old missed Saturday's contest with neck spasms and is questionable for Monday, though coach Erik Spoelstra previously said the guard is expected to play. Jimmy Butler (COVID-19 protocols) remains sidelined, so Herro should continue to have an increased offensive role, assuming he's available.
Jan 16, 2021
Expected back Monday
Herro (neck) -- out Saturday against the Pistons -- is likely to play Monday against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
According to coach Erik Spoelstra, Herro's neck "didn't loosen up yesterday [and] we think another day would be good for him." It sounds like fantasy managers can start Herro next week with confidence that he'll at least be available for Monday's action.
Jan 16, 2021
Out Saturday
Herro (neck) is sidelined Saturday against the Pistons, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro suffered the injury during Thursday's loss to the 76ers, and it's giving him enough discomfort to keep him out Saturday. In his stead, Goran Dragic, Gabe Vincent and Kendrick Nunn will presumably take on more backcourt minutes.
Jan 15, 2021
Questionable Saturday
Herro is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to a neck injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was held out late in Thursday's loss to the 76ers due to back spasms, but now it's been revealed that his neck is more of an issue. He joins an extensive injury report for the Heat, so keep an eye on the team's status before tipoff.
Jan 15, 2021
Battles back spasms Thursday
Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra said Herro was held out late in Thursday's 125-108 loss to the 76ers while dealing with back spasms, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The Heat were already trailing by 20 when Herro checked out of the game for the final time with three minutes remaining in the third quarter, so Spoelstra's decision to keep the second-year guard on the bench for the final quarter of the blowout loss may have just been precautionary. Before departing, Herro still turned in a full stat line while once again serving as one of the Heat's top playmakers sans Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, who both remained out due to the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. In 32 minutes, Herro put up 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal. Herro's status heading into Saturday's game against the Pistons will need to be monitored, but for now, consider him somewhere between probable and questionable for the contest.
Jan 12, 2021
Carries Heat in OT loss
Herro scored a team-high 34 points (12-26 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT) while adding seven rebounds, four assists and a block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 137-134 overtime loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Just two days after lighting up the Wizards for a season-high 31 points, Herro did himself three points better for the undermanned Heat. The second-year guard is proving he can handle the responsibility of being the team's go-to scorer, but he likely won't be launching 20-plus shots a game once Jimmy Butler (COVID-19 protocols) and the rest of Miami's starters are back in action.
Jan 10, 2021
Scores season-high 31 points
Herro recorded 31 points (12-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in a 128-124 away win Saturday against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro made 11 field goals and shot over 70 percent in the paint. Those shots took up most of Herro's season-high points tally, his best during a game since Sept. 23. Herro is now averaging 15.6 PPG this season following said performance.
Jan 5, 2021
Logs all-around stat line vs. Magic
Herro recorded seven points (3-9 FG), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal during a win versus Orlando on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Inefficient shooting from Herro was redeemed with efficiency in other statistical categories. Herro's nine rebounds and eight assists were game highs, the latter of which marked his season best. His averages in those categories are expected to increase now that he is a full-time starter.
Dec 31, 2020
Posts double-double
Herro recorded 21 points (8-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's 119-108 win against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro posted his second double-double, primarily thanks to his career-high 15 rebounds. He stepped up his game in the back-to-back games versus Milwaukee, scoring 20-plus in both. Herro will end the month with averages of 17.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists through four games.
Dec 29, 2020
Scores team-high 23 points
Herro registered 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding three rebounds, seven assists and a steal across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 144-97 loss against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro carried with the Heat's offensive responsibility due to the absence of Jimmy Butler (ankle), but he didn't shy away from the challenge and posted his best scoring output of the season. Through three games this season, Nunn is averaging 15.6 points per game while shooting 45 percent from the field.
Dec 27, 2020
Averaging 12.0 points through two games
Herro has played 32 minutes in each of the Heat's first two games, and he's averaging 12.0 points, 3.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.
ANALYSIS
While the move into the starting lineup is a nice development, Herro isn't exactly off to a red-hot start. He's hit just nine of 24 attempts from the field, while getting to the free throw line only three times. The sample is, of course, very small, and Herro still carries plenty of upside, but he hasn't looked quite like the player who took the league by storm in the bubble.
Dec 23, 2020
Starting season opener
Herro is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's season opener at Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old will begin the season in the starting five while Goran Dragic comes off the bench. Herro has a strong rookie campaign in 2019-20 and averaged 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 27.4 minutes.
Dec 18, 2020
Playing Friday
Herro (hip) will play in the preseason finale Friday against the Raptors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Herro will play Friday. In the preseason opener, he posted 17 points, six assists (no turnovers) and five rebounds in 28 minutes.
Dec 18, 2020
Probable for preseason finale
Herro is probable for Friday's preseason finale against the Raptors due to a glute injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
It doesn't seem like Herro is dealing with anything that significant since it's still probable that he'll take the court for the exhibition. In his previous preseason appearance, he posted 17 points, six assists (no turnovers) and five rebounds in 28 minutes.
Dec 15, 2020
Top scores with 17 points in loss
Herro ended with 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists and five rebounds in 28 minutes during Monday's 114-92 loss to the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro started for the Heat, a role that he could very well take ownership of comes the season proper. After a strong finish to last season, Herro has been the recipient of a lot of hype leading into fantasy drafts. While an element of this is warranted, it has certainly made it difficult to land him at a spot that might return value.
Dec 3, 2020
Third-year option picked up
The Heat informed Herro on Thursday that his $4 million team option for 2021-22 will be exercised, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Miami didn't have to think hard about whether to pick up Herro's third-year option after the 20-year-old seemingly established himself as a foundational piece for the organization at the NBA bubble in Orlando this summer. Over his 29 appearances with Miami after the season restarted in late July, Herro averaged 16.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.2 three-pointers in 32.2 minutes per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field, 37.6 percent from downtown and 90.7 percent from the charity stripe. While it's unclear if Herro will unseat Duncan Robinson as a starter on the wing to begin 2020-21, he should be in store for a 30-minute role most nights even if he serves as a sixth man.
Oct 7, 2020
Goes for 21 points in loss
Herro scored 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding seven rebounds, three assists and a steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 102-96 loss against the Lakers in Game 4 of the 2020 NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Herro has averaged 18.3 points in his last three games, all of them as a starter, but he hasn't been as efficient as he had been off the bench -- he is only shooting 39.6 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from three-point range in that three-game stretch. Small-sample size applies here, and Herro should remain a reliable scoring threat for the Heat in Game 5, but his lack of accuracy from the field might impact his value in DFS formats.
Oct 3, 2020
Scores 17 points in start
Herro registered 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 43 minutes during Friday's 124-114 loss against the Lakers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Herro scored 14 points in Game 1 of the NBA Finals and extended his streak of scoring in double digits in every single postseason game thus far, as he moved to the starting lineup for the first time since Aug. 14 due to the foot injury sustained by Goran Dragic in the first game of the series. Herro will be one of Miami's biggest offensive threats in Game 3 -- especially if Bam Adebayo (neck) is not at 100 percent -- regardless if he starts or moves back to the bench, with Kendrick Nunn also being a possibility to move into the starting five.
Oct 2, 2020
Starting Game 2
Herro will enter the starting lineup in Friday's Game 2 against the Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Goran Dragic (foot) sidelined, Herro figures to see even more usage than usual. Both he and Jimmy Butler will presumably take on ball-handling duties in the starting unit. He has enjoyed an impressive run throughout the playoffs and will look to carry that momentum into Game 2 with the Heat shorthanded.
Oct 1, 2020
Role could excalate moving forward
Herro ended with 14 points (6-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in Wednesday's 116-98 loss to the Lakers.
ANALYSIS
Herro struggled to find his rhythm in the loss, accounting for just 14 points on 18 field goal attempts. With Goran Dragic (foot) going down in this one, Herro could find himself in a more prominent role as soon as Game 2 on Friday. If there is one flaw in Herro's game at the moment, it would be his lack of ball security. With Dragic a chance to miss time, Herro could be called upon to do more of the ball-handling and so his awareness with ball in hand is going to have to increase.
Sep 27, 2020
Star continues to rise in polished performance
Herro totaled 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists and five rebounds in 35 minutes during Sunday's 125-113 victory over Boston.
ANALYSIS
If there is a player who has done more to boost his fantasy value over the past month, then they obviously haven't met Mr. Herro. The rookie continues to produce at an elite level, dropping 19 points on ultra-efficient shooting, sending the Heat to their first NBA Finals since 2014. Looking ahead to next season, it remains unclear whether he will fill the role of a starter or remain coming off the bench. Either way, he is likely to be playing starters minutes, and with his confidence a non-factor, he could be on the verge of a breakout campaign.
Sep 24, 2020
Explodes for 37 points
Herro delivered 37 points (14-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's Game 4 win over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Herro was coming off a 22-point performance during Miami's Game 3 loss, but he took it even further this time around, delivering a career-best performance right when the Heat needed him the most. The rookie has scored in double digits in every one of Miami's playoff games, averaging 16.5 points in all. He's not going to surpass the 30-point plateau often, but Herro has settled in as a reliable scoring threat who gets heavy minutes off the bench.
Sep 8, 2020
Strong showing continues
Herro finished with 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight boards, six assists, one block, and one steal in 37 minutes of a 103-94 win against Milwaukee on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Herro turned in another dominant performance, filling the stat sheet and setting a playoff high in assists in the contest. Herro has been a solid option off the bench for the Heat this postseason, and hasn't shied away from the big stage making clutch shots for his team through the first two series. Miami will continue to count on him in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Sep 8, 2020
Expected to play
Herro (hip) is expected to play in Tuesday's Game 5 against Milwaukee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as it seemed like the Heat were simply being cautious when they initially listed Herro as questionable. All three of Herro, Kelly Olynyk (knee) and Jae Crowder (ankle) are expected to be available in full capacity for Game 5.
Sep 7, 2020
Questionable for Game 5
Herro (hip) is considered questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
The rookie popped up on the injury report with a bruised hip, and while he's considered questionable, chances are he'll be cleared to play as Miami looks to close out the top-seeded Bucks in five games.
Sep 6, 2020
Drains big threes
Herro finished with 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four boards and four assists in 33 minutes of a 118-115 overtime loss to Milwaukee on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Herro came up big by knocking down a three with less than a minute in regulation and then a pair of threes in overtime of the Heat's loss. Herro has made his impact felt from deep in the series thus far, shooting 42.7 percent from outside the arc. He'll return to action in Tuesday's game 5.
Sep 6, 2020
Active Sunday
Herro (hip) is active for Sunday's Game 4 against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Despite nursing soreness in his right hip, the rookie will be ready to go in Game 4. Herro is currently averaging 13.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in the series.
Sep 5, 2020
Probable for Game 4
Herro is probable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Bucks due to a bruised right hip.
ANALYSIS
Herro is dealing with a minor hip injury and should be available for Game 4 with the Heat up 3-0. In the series, the rookie is averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 30.7 minutes.
Sep 3, 2020
Scores 17 off bench
Herro had 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in Wednesday's Game 2 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
The rookie hit some key shots in Game 2 and nailed three three-pointers for the second straight game to begin the series. Herro has emerged as Erik Spoelstra's top guard off the bench, playing at least 25 minutes in each of the last 11 games. Wednesday marked Herro's 13th consecutive game scoring in double-figures.
Aug 25, 2020
Scores 16 in series finale
Herro tallied 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes of Monday's 99-87 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro continued his regular-season trend of putting up double-digit numbers of points despite coming off the bench. So far in the playoffs, he is averaging 16.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game.
Aug 22, 2020
Scores 20 in 29 minutes
Herro compiled 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 Game 3 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro has drained three treys in consecutive contests and he put forth his best performance of the first round in this one. It's the first time through three postseason appearances that Herro didn't see at least 30 minutes, but he's capable of filling it up offensively even when he isn't afforded a heavy allotment of playing time.
Aug 20, 2020
Goes for 15 off bench
Herro had 15 points (4-14 FG, 3-8 3PT, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists in Thursday's Game 2 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro didn't have his most efficient game from the field, but he hit three three-pointers in 35 minutes on an afternoon when the Heat went 18-of-35 from deep as a team. In Game 1, Herro also posted 15 points but hit just 1-of-5 attempts from beyond the arc.
Aug 14, 2020
Puts up 16 points in start
Herro produced 16 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and a rebound across 27 minutes in Friday's 109-92 loss to the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
With Jimmy Butler out and Duncan Robinson limited, Herro got extended time on the court. Herro's shown his upside several times this season, as he can explode if his three-point shot is humming on all cylinders. He'll continue to provide a spark off the bench in the second unit.
Aug 14, 2020
Starting in finale
Herro will start Friday's game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
With a variety of key players absent for the Heat, Herro will get his eighth start of the season. Over the past four contests, the rookie is averaging 23.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 33.0 minutes.
Aug 12, 2020
Explodes for 30 points
Herro scored a game-high 30 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT) while adding six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 39 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Herro is a capable scorer -- he has scored 20 or more points in 12 separate occasions -- and is currently riding a six-game streak of double-digit scoring appearances in the Orlando bubble, scoring 20 or more points in three of his last four contests. This 30-point output was a career-best mark for the rookie, however, and he should remain a reliable scoring threat for the Heat come playoff time regardless of the role he might have in Erik Spoelstra's rotation.
Aug 11, 2020
Drops 17 in reserve role
Herro provided 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and a blocked shot across 25 minutes in Monday's 114-92 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Goran Dragic and Jimmy Butler's return didn't hurt Herro's value that much, and it's hard for the Heat to keep him off the floor after his notable play in the bubble. Coming into Monday's game he was averaging 15 points, five rebounds and 4.6 assists over five games while converting 50 percent of his shots during that span.
Aug 8, 2020
Scores 25 points as starter
Herro went for 25 points (10-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 assists and eight rebounds in 36 minutes during Saturday's loss against the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Herro got the start at point guard due to Kendrick Nunn's absence due to a personal matter, and the rookie looked impressive -- he notched his second straight game with at least 20 points, and he has now scored 25 or more points in four different contests in 2019-20. However, this was the first time the Heat lost when the Kentucky product reached that mark.
Aug 8, 2020
Starting in Nunn's absence
Herro will start Saturday's contest against the Suns, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kendrick Nunn (personal) sidelined, Herro will draw the start and should see plenty of run considering Goran Dragic (ankle) and Jimmy Butler (foot) are also out. In six previous starts this season, Herro is averaging 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 33.2 minutes.
Aug 6, 2020
Strong performance vs. Bucks
Herro posted 20 points (6-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 130-116 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Thursday marked Herro's 10th 20-point game of the season, and his first 20-point effort with at least five assists. He was able to take on extra responsibilities with Jimmy Butler (foot) and Goran Dragic (ankle) sidelined.
Aug 3, 2020
Scores 12 in loss
Herro had 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3PT), five rebounds and three assists in Monday's loss to Toronto.
ANALYSIS
After playing 20 minutes in the opener against Denver, Herro's took on a slightly larger workload Monday. He remains somewhat of a liability on the defensive end, but the Heat value Herro's shot creation and volume three-point shooting. Miami's starting backcourt of Kendrick Nunn and Duncan Robinson combined to hit just one of nine attempts from three Monday.
Jul 25, 2020
Hits for 20 against Jazz
Herro scored 20 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding seven rebounds, four assists and a steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's scrimmage against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
Jimmy Butler was sitting this one out, so Herro was able to step into a larger role on offense, although the Heat did end up losing 101-99. The rookie missed a month of action with a foot/ankle injury just before the league was shut down, but once he shakes the rust off from beyond the arc, Herro should be a key player for Miami once play resumes.
Jul 22, 2020
Contributes 15 points off the bench
Herro tallied 15 points (5-14 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 104-98 scrimmage win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
With Kendrick Nunn inactive, Herro was able to move up in the rotation a bit in the Heat's first scrimmage game. Although he failed to make a shot from downtown in seven tries, Herro was still effective with his mid-range shooting. Herro appears to show no ill effects from an ankle injury that limited his play before play halted in March. The youngster out of Kentucky was averaging 27 minutes per game over his first 47 games, and he'll likely see similar time on a depth chart that's filled to the brim with talented guards.
Jul 3, 2020
Ankle feels '100 percent'
Herro intimated that his ankle feels "100 percent" healthy following the four-month suspension of the season, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was dealing with an ankle injury before the season stopped, missing 15 straight games from Feb. 5 through Mar. 8. The rookie has been a great three-point shooter, hitting 2.1 threes per game at 39.1 percent, helping fuel his 12.9 points per game.
Mar 11, 2020
Back in action Wednesday
Herro (foot) is available for Wednesday's against Charlotte, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old was sidelined the last 15 games with the right ankle/foot injury, but he'll make his return to the court Wednesday. Herro hasn't seen game action since Feb. 3, so he may face a minutes restriction.
Mar 10, 2020
Goes through full practice
Herro (foot) was able to practice Tuesday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie hasn't played since Feb. 3 due to a foot/ankle injury, but he went through his first full practice Tuesday and could be back on the floor for Wednesday night's game against Charlotte. After practice, coach Erik Spoelstra said the team will wait to see how Herro's foot responds Wednesday before updating his status.
Mar 6, 2020
Also out Sunday
Herro (foot) didn't travel for this weekend's road trip to New Orleans and Washington.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old was previously ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Pelicans, but he'll also miss Sunday's game against the Wizards. Herro hasn't seen the game action since Feb. 3 and is considered day-to-day.
Mar 5, 2020
Still out Friday
Herro (foot) is out Friday against the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Herro remains day-to-day, and he'll miss a 14th straight matchup Friday. His next chance to take the court arrives Sunday against the Wizards.
Mar 3, 2020
Remains out Wednesday
Herro (foot) remains ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will now miss his 13th consecutive game with foot-related soreness. The rookie's next chance to return will be at New Orleans on Friday.
Mar 2, 2020
Remains out Monday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out Monday against the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Herro hasn't played since Feb. 3 and remains without an official timetable for his return. His next chance to take the court will come Wednesday against Orlando.
Feb 29, 2020
Out again Saturday
Herro (foot) won't play in Saturday's tilt with Brooklyn, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Saturday's game will mark an 11th consecutive absence for Herro, who continues to nurse a sore right foot. His next opportunity to return comes Monday against Milwaukee.
Feb 27, 2020
Out Friday vs. Mavericks
Herro (foot) remains out for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Herro, who has been sidelined since Feb. 5, isn't ready to make a return. His next chance to play arrives Saturday against the Nets.
Feb 24, 2020
Sheds boot
Herro (foot) shed his walking boot Monday but remains without a timeline for return, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
While the removal of the boot is a positive step for Herro, the lack of a defined timeline indicates that the team is unlikely to bring him back this week. Until he returns to practice, the Kentucky product can continue to be considered week-to-week.
Feb 23, 2020
Remains out Monday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro hasn't seen game action since Feb. 3 and has no official timetable for his return. The rookie was able to shed the protective walking boot last week, but he should be considered week-to-week until he's able to go through practice.
Feb 19, 2020
Still no timetable for return
Herro (foot) did not practice Wednesday and remains without a timetable for a return, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was able to shed his protective boot, but his foot remains too sore to take the practice court. As a result, it's unclear when he might be able to play again.
Feb 14, 2020
Progressing towards return
Herro (foot) no longer feels pain in his right foot and expects to shed the protective walking boot Wednesday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick enters the All-Star break having missed the last five games due to the right foot injury, but it appears his return to the court is on the horizon. Herro shouldn't be expected to be available for the beginning of the second half Thursday in Atlanta, but a return shortly thereafter should be possible.
Feb 12, 2020
Officially out Wednesday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
This isn't all too surprising, as Herro was forced to pull out of Friday's Rising Stars Game at All-Star Weekend earlier in the week due to a lingering foot issue. The good news is that the rookie checked out OK after returning to Miami for additional treatment, so there's a good chance Herro will be ready to return when the Heat resume play following the All-Star break.
Feb 11, 2020
Replaced in Rising Stars Game
Herro will not play in Friday's Rising Stars Game at All-Star Weekend, and he's been replaced by Cleveland's Collin Sexton, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
For fantasy purposes, the implication is that if Herro is out for All-Star Weekend, he'll almost certainly miss the Heat's final game before the break Wednesday in Utah. The rookie has already missed the last four games with soreness in his right foot.
Feb 10, 2020
Remains out Monday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss a fourth straight game as he continues to work his way back from a bout of right foot soreness. Wednesday's game in Utah will mark the rookie's final chance to take the court prior to the All-Star break.
Feb 8, 2020
Unavailable Sunday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Herro was considered doubtful by coach Erik Spoelstra but was listed as out on the official injury report, leading to his third straight absence. The rookie first-round pick should be questionable for the second part of the back-to-back set Monday at Golden State.
Feb 8, 2020
Doubtful Sunday
Herro (foot) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Right foot soreness is expected to keep Herro out for a third consecutive contest. Kendrick Nunn, Derrick Jones and Duncan Robinson are all candidates to see extra usage as a result.
Feb 6, 2020
Out again Friday
Herro (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Sacramento, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss his second straight game with right foot soreness. His next opportunity to return will come Sunday in Portland.
Feb 4, 2020
Ruled out Wednesday
Herro (foot) will not play in Wednesday's matchup with the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Herro sustained the injury during Monday's victory over the 76ers. The Heat will not risk anything with their sharpshooting rookie and hold him out in Los Angeles. His absence means some combination of Derrick Jones and Dion Waiters could see some extra run in the rotation. His next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Kings.
Feb 3, 2020
Out with foot soreness
Herro won't return to Monday's game against the 76ers due to right foot soreness, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro has been ruled out for the remainder of the night, meaning more minutes for Derrick Jones and possibly Dion Waiters. He could take the court next against the Clippers on Wednesday.
Feb 1, 2020
Coming off bench Saturday
Herro will come off the bench Saturday against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Kendrick Nunn (Achilles) is returning to the starting five, so Herro will resume his usual reserve role. In Herro's past 10 games off the bench, he's averaging 10.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 24.2 minutes.
Jan 29, 2020
Disappoints in starting role
Herro contributed six points (3-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes Tuesday in the Heat's 109-101 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Starting at shooting guard for a third straight game in place of Kendrick Nunn (Achilles), Herro saw his scoring production tail off after a few good performances in a row. The rookie should continue to benefit from elevated playing time as long as Nunn is sidelined, but his stat lines are fairly underwhelming on nights when the three ball isn't falling.
Jan 24, 2020
Starting vs. Clippers
Herro will start Friday's game against the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
With Kendrick Nunn (Achilles) sidelined, Herro will step into the starting five. In Herro's three previous starts, he's averaged 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steal in 33.7 minutes.
Jan 23, 2020
Makes season-high seven threes
Herro had 25 points (8-14 FG, 7-9 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 134-129 overtime win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Herro cracked the 20-point plateau for the first time since Dec. 16, and he also nailed a season-high seven threes in this game. He has struggled with consistency coming off the bench in recent weeks, but he remains a useful player in most formats due to his scoring ability and decent three-point shooting -- he has made multiple treys in six of his last nine outings.
Jan 19, 2020
Logs nine minutes versus Spurs
Herro (knee) finished with zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and one assist in nine minutes during Sunday's 107-102 loss to the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro was listed as a game-time decision due to a left knee bruise after not playing in the team's last two tilts. He had earned at least 20 minutes in 36 of his first 38 games, and this marked a career low minute total for the rookie. As such, it seems likely that his knee was still bothering him, so fantasy owners may want to keep tabs on Herro heading into Monday's matchup versus the Kings.
Jan 19, 2020
Cleared to play
Herro (knee) will be available off the bench for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick will put a two-game absence to a halt after the Heat determined his bruised left knee wasn't much of a concern. Herro's availability could result in one or more of Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic, Duncan Robinson, Kelly Olynyk, James Johnson and Derrick Jones sacrificing some playing time.
Jan 19, 2020
Seen as game-time call
The Heat view Herro (knee) as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Due to the early start time for Sunday's game (3 p.m. ET), the Heat didn't have an opportunity to gauge Herro's health during a morning shootaround. As a result, Miami will likely wait and see how Herro fares in pregame warmups before deciding on his status shortly before tipoff. Considering Herro has missed the past two games with a bruised left knee, he could be eased back into the rotation with a more limited role off the bench if he's deemed available to play.
Jan 18, 2020
Could play Sunday
Herro (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs.
ANALYSIS
Herro was active but didn't take the court for Friday's matchup due to a left knee bruise. The injury is still giving him some trouble, and it's possible he misses another contest.
Jan 17, 2020
Active scratch
Herro (knee) will be an active scratch Friday against the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Herro will be active but won't take the court for Friday's matchup due to a left knee bruise. Derrick Jones Jr. and Dion Waiters could pick up a few extra minutes in Herro's stead.
Jan 17, 2020
Participates in shootaround
Herro (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Thunder after participating in the team's morning shootaround.
ANALYSIS
The 19-year-old was already considered questionable for Friday's contest and his availability likely will now be determined after pregame warmups. Herro missed his first game of the season Wednesday against San Antonio, but he may be able to limit his absence to one game.
Jan 16, 2020
Officially questionable
Herro (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left knee bruise, though it's good news that he traveled with the team for a two-game road trip. The team should update the rookie's status closer to tipoff.
Jan 16, 2020
Traveling with Heat
Herro (knee) will accompany Miami on its upcoming two-game road trip, which begins Friday in Oklahoma City, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro was a late scratch from Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a bruised left knee, though it doesn't sound like the issue will keep him sidelined for more than a game or two. The rookie should be tentatively considered questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder; if he's forced to sit out again, Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson and Derrick Jones would represent candidates to see increased usage.
Jan 15, 2020
Late scratch Wednesday
Herro is a late scratch for Wednesday's game against the Spurs due to a bruised left knee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Wednesday will mark Herro's first missed game since Nov. 12, and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined for. In his absence, Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson and Derrick Jones are all candidates to see increased usage.
Jan 11, 2020
Quality showing Friday
Herro racked up nine points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and a steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 117-113 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Alongside veteran guard Goran Dragic, the 19-year-old was again one of Miami's central leaders off the bench. The score-first rookie was such despite only nine field-goals, having taken less than 10 shots in only 11 of his 36 games this season. Herro instead delivered a more well-rounded stat line through a nine-point, five rebound and four-assist pool achieved only three times this season.
Jan 8, 2020
Scores 19, sinks five treys
Herro produced 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-108 win over the Pacers.
ANALYSIS
Herro matched his career high in threes, as he drained five for the third time through 36 appearances. The rookie continues to earn close to 30 minutes on most nights and given his status as sixth man he's turning in very solid contributions in the scoring, rebounding, assist and three-point shooting departments.
Nov 14, 2019
Officially available Thursday
Herro (ankle) will play Thursday against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Herro apparently felt fine during warmups, giving him the green light to return after missing one game with an ankle injury. Through four games this month, Herro is averaging 9.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 25.5 minutes off the bench.
Nov 14, 2019
Plans to play
Herro (ankle) said he plans on playing Thursday against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
While Herro is confident he'll suit up Thursday, the Heat will likely wait and see how his ankle feels during pregame warmups before determining his availability. Expect an update closer to tip-off.
Nov 13, 2019
Questionable Thursday
Herro (ankle) is Jeff Goodman of Stadium for Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Listed as questionable heading into Tuesday with a hampering ankle injury, the rookie missed his first NBA game. Herro faces a similar situation Thursday, as the guard is listed yet again as questionable. If Herro needs at least one more game to fully recover, Duncan Robinson and Meyers Leonard are candidates to see increased roles against the Cavaliers.
Nov 12, 2019
Downgraded to out
Herro (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against Detroit, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro will miss his first contest of the 2019-20 season due to an ankle injury. Expect Duncan Robinson to pick up the majority of his minutes on a depleted Miami team.
Nov 11, 2019
Questionable Tuesday
Herro (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Herro apparently injured his ankle during Friday's loss to the Lakers, though the severity of the injury remains unclear. If he's forced to miss Tuesday's game, Duncan Robinson would likely see an expanded role.
