Tyler Herro to Undergo Surgery
The Miami Heat‘s Tyler Herro is set to undergo surgery on his left foot this coming Friday, which will unfortunately keep him sidelined at the start of the 2025-26 NBA season, as reported by the Miami Herald’s Anthony Chiang.
Background on Injury
Herro has been dealing with discomfort in his foot and ankle since the summer, leading to attempts at non-surgical treatments such as PRP and cortisone injections. However, those measures did not alleviate his symptoms, prompting the decision to proceed with surgery.
Impact on the Team
Details about his recovery timeline have yet to be disclosed, but further information may be provided by the team after the surgical procedure takes place. The 25-year-old shooting guard, who has consistently played all six of his NBA seasons with the Heat, had an impressive previous season, averaging 23.9 points and 5.5 assists per game while participating in 77 contests. He also recorded a notable three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%.
Without him, Miami’s scoring efficiency saw a significant drop, averaging 8.6 fewer points per possession in his absence.
Recognition and Future Outlook
Herro’s outstanding performance last season earned him a spot as one of the promising young players in the league, placing him on Kenny Smith’s “Young Stars” team during the NBA All-Star Game alongside talents like Cade Cunningham, Jalen Brunson, and Anthony Edwards.
Meanwhile, the Heat are gearing up to commence their training camp on September 30, as they prepare for the upcoming season.
