Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro is officially listed doubtful on the injury report for Saturday’s game vs. the Sacramento Kings.
Herro has appeared in just five games this season after making his debut on November 24 following an offseason ankle surgery. However, this toe issue is relatively new and popped up this past Wednesday before sidelining him for last night’s game against the Orlando Magic as well.
With Herro doubtful on Saturday night, the Heat will likely miss the scoring pop the guard provides. The 25-year-old All-Star averages 23.8 PPG while shooting over 50% from the field and 40% from three-point range across his five games on the campaign. He’s been a dynamic threat on this Miami roster, and with his potential absence combined with the remainder of the injury report, the team could potentially struggle tonight.
Beyond Herro’s doubtful tag, Norman Powell, Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson are all questionable due to various injuries on Saturday. The Heat’s guard rotation could be largely shorthanded.
Miami holds a 14-9 record on the campaign and is a -8.5 favorite against the Kings tonight on DraftKings Sportsbook.
