Tyler Herro will undergo surgery and miss the start of the season
Miami Heat All-Star Tyler Herro will undergo surgery on his left foot this Friday, which will keep him out of action at the start of the 2025-26 season.
Herro is expected to be out for eight weeks, which would rule him out for the first 12 games of the regular season.
Herro dealt with a left foot injury last season. Subsequently, he suffered an ankle injury during an offseason workout, leading to the decision to undergo surgery.
Miami will have to start next season without its top scorer. Herro is coming off his best season, averaging 23.9 points, 5.5 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season.
Seeking to rebound from a disappointing finish, where the Heat were outmatched in three of their four consecutive losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round, Miami added more offense and shooting with the incorporation of Norman Powell and Simone Fontecchio, in addition to selecting guard Kasparas Jakucionis to support Herro, Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, and Kel’el Ware.
Herro made his first All-Star appearance last season and has averaged at least 20 points and five rebounds in each of the last four seasons.
