The good news is that despite Herro being present on the Heat's injury report for Thursday night's game, he is listed as "probable" with what's being listed as "right big toe/rub: contusion." He's coming off an impactful performance on Tuesday as Herro scored 23 points on eight of 18 shooting from the field, two of eight from beyond the arc, to go along with three assists and two rebounds
Herro has been continuing to gel with Miami's new offensive system that thrives in a free-flowing, fast-paced style, which has cut down on pick-and-rolls and ball screens, though the team could try to find a balance. Still, Herro looks to stay healthy so he can continue getting his feet under him, with the intention to win as a "collective unit."
