Before the Finals, there was talk of a return to Game 3 of the Finals, or even maybe in Game 2, for Tyler Herro.
Except that the back of Miami, victim of a fracture of the right hand during the very first game of the playoffs, has still not replayed. And Erik Spoelstra confirmed that there was little chance of seeing him again for Game 4…
“It’s part of the process”explained the coach. “There are different stages. First, it was about shooting, then moving, then training with contact with the coaches, and finally training normally with contact. He doesn’t have the green light to play a game and he still doesn’t. »
Even though Tyler Herro has intensified his training this week, he still hasn’t passed the last stage of the return to competition process. While we imagine the Heat particularly cautious because bringing back an injured player, in the heart of the Finals, is clearly not an obvious thing…
“It is clear that he has played an important role in what we have done throughout the year”However, recalled Jimmy Butler. “But I think his morale is very good. He is doing everything he can to come back and help us. I don’t know where he is in this process, but I see him working. I see him smile. I see him surrounded by other players, which is good for him and even better for us. »
Averaging 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists this season, Tyler Herro was the team’s third-leading scorer, just behind Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, and the third-leading passer.
