Following a disappointing postseason and an uneventful summer, the Miami Heat are determined to bring joy to their loyal fans in the 2024-25 season.
But could they be kicking off the season without their sharpshooter, Tyler Herro?
This is the concern, as Herro was absent from the first preseason game.
However, when speaking to the press through Emo Jimmy, Herro reassured everyone that he’s recovering from a minor groin injury and should return soon.
“Nothing happened. I was just pretty sore from training camp. Ran a lot, was sore so I needed a couple of days, I’m back,” he said.
This update undoubtedly brought a sigh of relief to Heat fans.
Last season, Herro averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game, despite being limited to just 42 games.
Injuries have plagued him over the past few seasons, raising concerns that they might resurface in 2024-25.
The Heat can’t afford to be without their key players right now, as they’re determined to make this season stand out from the last.
The Heat have built a reputation as a team that performs decently in the regular season but truly ramps up when the playoffs approach.
While this approach has often worked in their favor, there’s a chance things could shift this year.
Could this be the season they maintain consistent strength from start to finish?
Plenty of questions are swirling around the Heat, especially regarding their future with Jimmy Butler. However, questions about Herro’s role on the team are also in the spotlight.
That’s why it’s crucial for Herro to fully recover from this issue, bounce back, and join the team as soon as possible.
