Overview
- An official team update ruled Herro out of the Warriors game and confirmed he did not travel with the Heat.
- An MRI identified a costochondral rib issue, and the Miami Herald reported he is unlikely to link up with the team on the five-game swing as his timeline remains undetermined.
- Head coach Erik Spoelstra said he does not expect the issue to be long-term and that the team will continue treating and monitoring Herro.
- Miami opens a compressed five-game West Coast trip over seven days with a 22–20 record after a 122–120 win over the Thunder without Herro.
- Herro has appeared in 11 of 42 games this season following ankle surgery and a toe contusion, averaging 21.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
