Forfeited since the first round of the Playoffs due to a major injury to the right hand (fracture), the back of the Heat Tyler Herro is approaching a return. Will it be Sunday for Game 2 in Denver? Maybe.
This is the insider Adrian Wojnarowski (ESPN), always very well informed, who released a small update on Tyler Herro before Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Finals last night in Denver. The main thing to remember? It exists a scenario in which the Sixth Man of the Year 2022 returns to the courts in the second round this weekend in Colorado.

“Sunday’s Game 2 represents a possibility for a Tyler Herro return. He will have two more days to test his right hand, healed today of his fracture. He’s on the court to practice, but can this hand absorb contact? When you come back from such an injury, you have to be able to absorb the contact.”
– Woj
While it initially spoke of a return during Game 3 (in Miami) and coach Erik Spoelstra preferred not to come forward in a press conference on the state of health of his player, it is an evolution positive of the situation for the Heat. Especially given the Game 1 scenario.
Last night, Miami fell 104-93 due in particular to an attack out of address. Typically the kind of game where a gifted player like Herro might have helped the Heat close their deficit. Faced with a machine as well regulated as that of Denver, the Floridians may need the offensive contribution of Tyler to keep up with the pace imposed by the band in Jokic.
Available or not on Sunday, there is however a very good chance that Herro will be operational for the third round in South Beach.
