Overview

  • Miami listed Herro with a right costochondral rib injury and ruled him out for Monday’s game at Golden State after he did not travel.
  • Reporting following the MRI indicates he is expected to miss the entire West Coast swing, with no official timeline set by the team.
  • The condition is characterized as a pain-tolerance issue rather than a surgical one, with medical guidance noting symptoms can persist for days to weeks.
  • Coach Erik Spoelstra said he does not view the setback as long-term as the team continues treatment and monitors his response.
  • Herro has appeared in 11 of Miami’s first 42 games this season, and the Heat will lean more on Norman Powell and Bam Adebayo for offense during the trip.
