Tyler Herro will miss the start of the 2025-26 season due to injury
Miami Heat star player Tyler Herro will undergo surgery on his left foot this Friday and will be out of the courts at the beginning of the 2025-26 season, according to the team.
Sources close to the team indicate that Herro is expected to be out for eight weeks. This timeframe would leave Herro out of the first 12 games of the regular season.
Herro suffered a left foot injury last season. In addition, the Heat guard 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 defeated in three of their four consecutive losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round, Miami added more offense and shooting by signing 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.
