Heat's Tyler Herro Won't Play vs. Pistons Because of Neck Injury

shooting guard will not play Saturday against the Detroit Pistons due to neck spasms, per the Associated Press' Tim Reynolds.

The 20-year-old has averaged 17.6 points on 46.9 percent shooting (30.2 percent from three-point range) alongside 6.7 rebounds in 33.7 minutes per game.

Herro helped guide the Heat to a much-improved 44-29 record last season after the team finished 39-43 the year prior. Miami cruised into the playoffs thanks in part to his efforts, which included 12 games of 20 or more points (and a high of 29).

Herro dominated in the playoffs en route to helping Miami reach the NBA Finals, where the Heat fell to the Los Angeles Lakers.
