When Is Tyler Herro Coming Back for the Miami Heat?
By Peter Dewey
Health is becoming a serious concern for the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, and their second-leading scorer, Tyler Herro, is at the forefront of that conversation.
Herro missed Game 4 with a groin injury, and he is one of several Heat players that has been banged up this postseason. With the Boston Celtics evening the series at two games apiece on Monday night, the Heat need to bounce back in Miami in Game 5, but they may have to do it without the Sixth Man of the Year.
Herro, Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry have all missed time in this series. For Heat fans and bettors, Herro's return would be a major boost to Miami's chances of winning the series. Right now, WynnBET Sportsbook has the Heat as +150 underdogs to win and advance to the NBA Finals.

Tyler Herro Latest Injury Update
Herro, who didn't close out Game 3 due to the groin injury, was ruled out of Miami's Game 4 matchup on Monday night.
The Heat guard has struggled a bit this postseason, averaging just 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 41.3% from the field and 23.2% from beyond the arc.
Herro, the league's Sixth Man of the Year, averaged 20.7 points per game in the regular season, so it's obvious that when healthy he's a key piece of this Heat offense.
The Heat are hoping Herro will return for Game 5, and we will update this story once there is more news about his status ahead of Wednesday's matchup.
