On the heels of having left ankle surgery, Tyler Herro is unlikely to reach an extension agreement with the Miami Heat, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. But what if his lengthy absence to start the season actually has the opposite effect?
Herro’s injury is not considered ultra-serious in the grand scheme of things. He should be back in the rotation before the end of November. Thanks to their heist of a Norman Powell trade, the Heat should have just enough remaining offensive firepower to tread water in Herro’s absence, and then get a better sense of who they are upon his return.
