Tyler Herro is still experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired right hand and his status for the Finals remains up in the air. The Heat guard told ESPN sideline reporter Ros Gold-Onwude (Twitter link) that the hand continues to swell up when he’s shooting.
Herro said the soreness occurs when he’s making the follow-through on his shooting motion. He also shared his concerns about returning to action and messing up the team’s rhythm.
Herro participated in all aspects of the team practice prior to Miami’s victory in Game 2 but wants to be sure the timing is right for his return.
Herro hasn’t played since breaking the hand in the first game of the opening round against Milwaukee. He still hasn’t received full medical clearance to suit up, though coach Erik Spoelstra was pleased with the guard’s progress.
Multiple reports indicated that Game 3 on Wednesday in Miami was the target for Herro’s return. However, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel hears through a source familiar with the process that Herro won’t play in the series (Twitter link).
Miami Herald beat reporters Anthony Chiang and Barry Jackson also cite a source who claims that the expectation Herro will definitely return in the Finals is overstated.
Back to back highlight Cayden Boozer to Tyran Stokes alley oops spark a 8-0 run that has USA up 7 over Puerto Rico late in the 1st are of their 1st game of group play in the FIBA Americas u16 tourney… link to m.youtube.com
USA up 10 after the 1st. Boozer twins, Vincent Stewart, Darryn Peterson & Felipe Quinones all playing very well so far. The talent level & the athleticism level (5 dunks, including 3 alleys already) is crazy for these kids to only be 15 & 16yo
Halfway thru the 2nd & PR has still only gotten pts from 2 guys. Both of those guys, Vincent Stewart & Felipe Quinones, are gonna be NBA players. Especially Quinones. USA is much deeper tho & have opened up a 15pt lead behind an extremely aggressive defense
Team USA is winning this game the same way they’ve won hundreds of games in international play over the past 50+ yrs, with attacking/pressure defense, speeding up the tempo & dominating in transition. PR has shot really well from trey (especially Quinones) but they’re prob gonna have to make 10+ treys in this 2nd half to overcome the 13pt deficit they face at halftime
Darryn Peterson is a future superstar. After 3 qtrs of play that’s become pretty obvious
You can say that again. And again. And again. And again.
Needs another HGH treatment from uncle Jimmy
