Overview

  • The Heat confirmed the All-Star guard had a left foot and ankle procedure after a summer impingement did not respond to PRP and cortisone injections.
  • He is expected to be out several weeks, with a precise return-to-play plan to be finalized during rehabilitation, and multiple reports say the injury is not considered season-ending.
  • Miami is expected to lean on newcomer Norman Powell at shooting guard and expand roles for Davion Mitchell, with Jaime Jaquez Jr., Pelle Larsson and potentially Dru Smith also in the mix.
  • Training camp opens Sept. 30, the preseason begins Oct. 4, and the regular season starts Oct. 22, so his absence will cover the opening stretch of the schedule.
  • Herro is coming off a career-best 23.9 points per game in his first All-Star season and becomes extension-eligible next month as the Heat navigate luxury-tax limits that constrain immediate roster additions.
