Miami Heat sharpshooter Tyler Herro played 47 of his team's 65 games before the 2019-20 NBA season was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, and he believes he would be near the top of the Rookie of the Year race if he didn't miss time with an ankle injury.

"I'm definitely looking forward to getting back," Herro said, per Eric Woodyard of ESPN. "I definitely feel like if it wasn't for that injury, I feel like I would be one or two in the Rookie of the Year race, so I'm ready to get out there and prove myself again.
