Miami Heat's Tyler Herro Sidelined for At Least Two Weeks Due to Ankle Sprain
Herro, the Heat's leading scorer, sustains Grade 2 ankle sprain during game against Grizzlies and will be in a walking boot for 10 days, pending reevaluation; this marks his second significant injury in 2023.
- Tyler Herro, the leading scorer for the Miami Heat, will be out for at least two weeks due to a Grade 2 right ankle sprain, causing him to miss a minimum of seven games.
- Herro sustained the injury during a match against the Memphis Grizzlies, when he landed on another player's foot while attempting a floater in the lane.
- This is the second significant injury Herro has experienced in 2023; earlier this year, he broke his hand during a playoff series, which kept him out for the rest of Miami's run to last season’s NBA Finals.
- Before his injury, Herro had been having an excellent season, averaging a career-best 22.9 points per game over the first eight games.
- Miami faces a tough schedule in Herro's absence, with seven of the next eight games being on the road.
