This ankle/foot impact has plagued Herro since mid-summer. Herro has received PRP and cortisone injections in recent weeks in an attempt to avoid surgery, but the discomfort has never been relieved and believes that surgery is needed to avoid more problems.

Without Jimmy Butler Sicne 2018-19, the 2025-26 season would be Miami’s first full season. Tyler Herro is expected to play a huge role in the heat. The shooting guard, who was 25 years old, dealt with a foot injury. It has been haunting the 2021-22 sixth person since mid-summer. Herro has been reported to have received PRP and cortisone injections in recent weeks.

Team Doctors hope Herro’s pain will fade as the new season approaches. Unfortunately, this discomfort never went away and was thought to require foot/ankle surgery. It’s indeed a huge blow to the heat. Tyler Herro leads with scores and assists per game in 2024-25. Miami will start the 2025-26 season without Tyler Herro’s work.
Although Herro missed a year, the Heat will rely on veteran players such as Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins and Norman Powell. Adebayo is entering his ninth season with the Heat. He averaged only 20 points per game in his career. During the offseason, the Heat participated in a multi-team deal to acquire Norman Powell. Last season, he averaged averaging 21.8 points per game. Miami would love to see Powell’s work like this. How long can Miami survive without Tyler Herro?
