Tyler Herro will miss another game for the Miami Heat due to a right thigh contusion, marking his fourth absence this season. The Heat have not fared well without him, losing all three previous games he missed. Miami also faces significant challenges with Andrew Wiggins sidelined by a hamstring issue and other key players like Nikola Jovic, Dru Smith, and Kevin Love unavailable. Coach Erik Spoelstra indicated that Herro's injury occurred during a fast break in a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, and his status will be evaluated day-to-day.

Herro had set a personal goal to minimize his missed games this season, aiming for no more than four. With the regular season winding down, the Heat are locked into the play-in round for the third consecutive year. Their next matchup is against the Philadelphia 76ers, which will be crucial for their playoff positioning. The team continues to deal with injuries but remains focused on their performance as they prepare for the final stretch of the season.
