Heat Rumors: Tyler Herro Has Brace Removed from Hand Injury; Not Cleared to Shoot

Perhaps one of the most impressive things from the Miami Heat's incredible run to the Eastern Conference Finals is that they have done it without third-leading scorer Tyler Herro, who fractured his right hand in Game 1 of the team's first-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Herro had surgery and had been wearing a brace ever since. The brace was removed ahead of Miami's Game 3 matchup against the Boston Celtics on Sunday, according to Allie LaForce on the TNT broadcast (h/t Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald).

The former Sixth Man of the Year hasn't been cleared to shoot yet, but the removal could mean that a possible return may be in the works.
