Where’s Miami Heat confidence level stand with Tyler Herro?


Q: Ira, Tyler  Herro has missed 25% of games since his rookie season due to injuries.  His latest injury is “a “chronic foot issue,” an MRI revealed no damage, and then goes on to miss 10 games. That has to be alarming.  – Brian, Fort Lauderdale.

A: I’ve been supportive of Tyler Herro in the context that in absolutely no way do I believe he is a malingerer. He wants to play. He is well aware of perception. But the reality, even if chiche’, is that the best ability is availability. So, yes, this overall trend is concerning, simply because you don’t want to have to overexert your other leading men to compensate. It cannot be overlooked that this extended absence comes after missing 18 consecutive games earlier this season with a sprained right ankle (there also was one game missed with a shoulder sprain, one game missed due to a migraine). The question now is when Tyler comes back, what does he come back as?
