The Miami Heat had been quietly riding high after a sneaky-good run through the 2025 NBA offseason. Their Norman Powell pickup was equal parts brilliant and mind-bogglingly cheap, their draft-night investment in No. 20 pick Kasparas Jakucionis still has major steal potential (shaky summer aside), and they may not miss Duncan Robinson as much as expected if Simone Fontecchio shoots like he did overseas.
On Friday, though, everything came to a screeching halt, as Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reported that Heat All-Star guard Tyler Herro is undergoing surgery on his left foot/ankle.
