Tyler Herro still experiencing soreness and swelling in injured hand
Ros Gold-Onwude: Reporting from #NBAFinals: I spoke with Tyler Herro ahead his Game 2 pregame routine and he told me he experiences both soreness and swelling in the right hand after shooting and he can feel the soreness when he’s making a “follow through” shooting motion. He also shared his consideration of not wanting to come back and mess up the rhythm of the team. While there was hope he’d return for Game 2 as he’s participating in all aspects of team practice, he’s making sure the time is right for his return to the court.

I wonder where Tyler Herro’s minutes are going to come from if he’s back for Game 3. Basically everyone in the rotation is either playing well in the Finals or was essential last round. I guess Caleb Martin and Kyle Lowry lose a couple of minutes in Game 3 and they go from there? – 1:07 AM

Back to the 305 at 1-1. After tonight’s performances by Duncan and Strus, I’d let Tyler Herro sit another game on bench in his fisherman hat. – 10:42 PM

Homecourt advantage now for the Miami Heat and Tyler Herro, last year’s SMOY, hopefully making his return in Game 3 to give their depth a boost. – 10:42 PM

Heat bench looking so nasty after a starting lineup adjustment (that worked) just makes the imminent Tyler Herro return that much more complicated – 9:17 PM

Erik Spoelstra said Tyler Herro started doing contact work as soon as the team arrived in Denver. He said they’re encouraged by his progress, but added that context has to be considered — he’s not trying to return to a regular season game, he’s trying to return in the Finals. – 6:44 PM

Ira Winderman: A party familiar with process had told me over weekend that Tyler was not playing in this series. But that was just one of many familiar with situation, not enough to make it anything definitive. Just pointing out such sentiment is out there from those familiar with the process. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / June 5, 2023
Barry Jackson: Erik Spoelstra tells NBA TV that Tyler Herro hasn’t received full clearance from medical staff, to play in games, despite all his progress. “Hopefully one of these days” -via Twitter @flasportsbuzz / June 4, 2023
Will Guillory: Spoelstra says he’s “encouraged” by Tyler Herro’s progress and that Herro has been going through contact practices with the team in Denver. He still doesn’t want to provide a concrete timeline for Herro’s return just yet. -via Twitter @WillGuillory / June 4, 2023
