Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro to sit out Game 4 of Eastern Conference finals vs. Boston Celtics; Jimmy Butler looks to play

BOSTON -- Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro will not play in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals because of a left groin strain. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra made the announcement after Monday's shootaround and said that Herro would be "day-to-day" moving forward.

"We just had to be responsible and take the decision out of his hands," Spoelstra said. "He really wants to be out there tonight. The trainers and Dr. [Harlan] Selesnick don't think that's the best idea just because of the intensity and everything, but we'll see. He's young, we'll treat him day to day, and we'll see what happens from here.
