Overview
- Tyler Herro completed his first full-court practice of the season and said he is aiming to play in about one to two weeks if there are no setbacks.
- Head coach Erik Spoelstra called the practice involvement a positive step but reiterated there is no timeline for Herro or Bam Adebayo to return.
- Bam Adebayo, out the last five games with a left big toe sprain, practiced and reported significantly reduced pain as the training staff oversees his clearance.
- Beat reporting indicates additional missed games will likely make Herro ineligible for All-NBA, closing off the route to a larger maximum extension this cycle.
- Miami is 7-6 as Norman Powell carries a heavy scoring load at 26.1 points per game, with others absorbing minutes during the stars’ absences.
