Despite reports to the contrary, Tyler Herro may not make his NBA Finals debut as quickly as once expected. Herro, who hasn’t played since he sustained a broken right hand in the Miami Heat’s playoff opener, has yet to be cleared to play in a Finals game.
“We’re taking it one day at a time,” coach Erik Spoelstra said ahead of Wednesday night’s Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets. “But we’re encouraged by the work that he has been doing.”
Herro participated in Tuesday’s practice, will go through a full-contact workout later in the day, and then be evaluated Tuesday night and Wednesday morning before tip-off at Kaseya Center.
