Tyler Herro Leads Heat in Return as Miami Refines High-Paced Offense

Spoelstra frames the integration as a short-term process.

Overview

  • Herro posted 24 and 29 points in his first two games back from September ankle surgery, shooting about 63.6 percent from the field.
  • The Heat won both games but finished with 106 points in each after entering Herro’s debut averaging 124.9 points per game.
  • Erik Spoelstra said the lower outputs are not because of Herro, pointing to opponent schemes to slow Miami and a need to be sharper in execution.
  • Herro said he missed training camp and preseason, is still strengthening his foot and expects a couple of weeks to feel fully comfortable, and he emphasized fitting in rather than taking over.
  • With Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins available, Spoelstra experimented with lineups, and the next look at the mix comes Saturday against the Pistons.
