Tyler Herro’s latest injury news has hit Miami at the worst possible time. After his best statistical season to date, during which he made his first All-Star game, he cemented himself as one of the Heat’s cornerstones following the exit of superstar Jimmy Butler. For a team already struggling with scoring depth, this kind of setback will force head coach Erik Spoelstra to make some tough decisions.
According to reports, Herro had already tried non-surgical treatment, hoping that it would be enough to get him into shape. Unfortunately, the decision was made to go ahead with surgery to address posterior ankle impingement, which has limited his mobility. This procedure has set his timeline for a return around eight weeks, ruling him out for the opening of the 2025-26 season, leaving unanswered questions about the backcourt.
Herro himself, however, has made sure that the news isn’t coming across as just another setback. He posted on his Instagram story: “imma tear the league back down once I get off this weak a– bed.” This wasn’t an update, but a warning, and it quickly spread through social media
