[Saba Sports News] Tyler Herro, Miami Heat’s prominent player, sustained an ankle injury in their recent victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, leading to his absence from upcoming games. On Thursday, the Heat confirmed that Herro is dealing with a Grade 2 ankle sprain. He’s required to use a walking boot for the next 10 days and will undergo a re-evaluation in two weeks.
During the first quarter of the game, which Miami won 108-102, Herro seemed to severely twist his ankle while executing a floater. After the game, Herro shared with reporters that he felt “crunches and cracks in my ankle,” immediately realizing his inability to continue playing that night and anticipating a few weeks out of action.
Herro’s absence will pose a significant challenge for the Heat, as he leads the team with an average of 25.3 points per game.
