Overview

• The Heat said the 90-minute procedure addressed posterior impingement syndrome in Herro’s left ankle and was performed by Dr. Thomas San Giovanni at Doctors Hospital Surgery Center in Miami.
• Herro will miss training camp and the season’s opening stretch, with the eight-week timetable projecting roughly 14 to 16 games out, according to team and media estimates.
• Before surgery, Herro tried platelet-rich plasma and cortisone injections after the issue surfaced in mid-summer, reporters from the Miami Herald and others noted.
• Miami is expected to lean on Norman Powell, Davion Mitchell, Bam Adebayo and Andrew Wiggins, with Terry Rozier also a candidate for expanded minutes during Herro’s absence.
• The 25-year-old All-Star, coming off career highs including 23.9 points and 5.5 assists, becomes extension-eligible in October, with outlets reporting that talks could be addressed once his status is clearer.
