Overview

  • At media day, Herro said he expects to be back in eight to 12 weeks, noted he is ahead of schedule on swelling, and told Erik Spoelstra he aims to return in six.
  • The Sept. 19 operation addressed posterior impingement in his left ankle and removed an extra bone that had been blocking his range of motion.
  • The Heat said the 90-minute procedure was performed by Dr. Thomas San Giovanni with team physicians Harlan Selesnick and Frantz Lerebours at Doctors Hospital Surgery Center in Miami.
  • Herro said an MRI initially revealed nothing and that PRP and cortisone injections from July through early September failed to resolve the pain that began during a workout.
  • With Herro sidelined to start the season, Miami expects newcomer Norman Powell to help cover backcourt production, and the team’s decision window on a Herro extension runs through Oct. 20.
