After shooting 9-of-14 from the field in his first game back from a rib injury that sidelined him for over a month, Herro has cooled off. Over the last two games, the Heat guard is 10-of-32 from the field. Fantasy managers will be pleased with the six assists he dished out in Milwaukee, but this is not going to be a quick process for Herro, given the injury that he’s returning from. The Heat play two more games in Week 18, starting with the 76ers on Thursday.

Having returned to action on Friday, Herro will be available for Saturday’s game as well. He logged 24 minutes in Friday’s win over the Hawks and will likely take on a similar workload against the Grizzlies.

Herro returned from a lengthy absence and had 24 points in Friday’s win over the Hawks. The 26-year-old point guard only played 24 minutes, but now he’s likely to play again Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back given his probable listing. Pelle Larsson could lose out on some minutes once Herro is without a minutes restriction.

Friday’s game was the first for Herro since January 15, and he didn’t appear to miss a beat in Atlanta. The Heat guard was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, shooting over 50 percent from the field and committing no turnovers. Herro was limited to 24 minutes on Friday; that number will increase as his conditioning improves. Pelle Larsson (12 points, six rebounds, one assist and two steals) remained in the starting lineup and played well, but he’ll likely be the player who’s bumped from the starting lineup once Herro’s restrictions are removed.

Herro will return to Miami’s lineup after more than a month on the sideline, and he’ll surely see a minutes restriction in his first game back. Pelle Larsson could see his role reduced, and he’s not someone to hold in most fantasy leagues.

Herro has been sidelined since Jan. 15 and has played in just 11 games this season. However, he will travel with the Heat to Atlanta for their game on Friday and could return to the lineup, with the Heat officially listing Herro as probable. Pelle Larsson has been starting in his place and would return to the bench if Herro is back.

The timeline is still vague, but Herro’s return to practice should certainly encourage fantasy managers who have been waiting on him to get back on the court. Until Herro is available, Simone Fontecchio and Myron Gardner should continue to see increased run.

Herro has been out since January 15, which is the last time the Heat faced the Celtics. The guard has not been given a timeline by team doctors, and given the time Herro has already missed, fantasy managers should consider him week-to-week. Pelle Larsson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s worth considering as a deep-league streamer.

Herro did not travel with the Heat during their recently completed road trip, and he also sat out Saturday’s home loss to the Bulls. The Heat have not provided an update on the guard’s availability beyond Sunday’s injury report, but that may come early next week. Pelle Larsson will continue to start, and he’s worth a look in deep leagues.

Herro did not travel west with the team ahead of Monday’s game against the Warriors, instead staying in Miami to undergo an MRI on his ribs. The scans have uncovered a costochondral issue, which is inflammation or separation that can take weeks or even months to recover from. The Heat did not provide a timeline for Herro’s return, but he should be considered out indefinitely until that changes. Pelle Larsson has been the replacement in the starting lineup.

Monday’s game will be the second that Herro misses due to a rib contusion. And he could be out for longer than that, as he did not travel with the team out west. Herro will undergo an MRI, and the Heat have another game in Sacramento on Tuesday. Pelle Larsson should remain in the starting lineup as long as Herro is unavailable.

Herro joins Davion Mitchell (shoulder) on the sidelines for Thursday’s game. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said during his pregame availability that Herro’s rib contusion is not believed to be a longer-term injury. Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakučionis should see their playing time increase, while Kel’el Ware could return to the starting lineup. The second-year center has struggled recently, and a return to the starting five could give him a needed boost.

If Herro is sidelined, there will be a second spot open in the starting lineup, with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) already out. Kel’el Ware started during Herro’s most recent absence, though Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis should also see a bump in minutes of Herro is unavailable.

Herro has had a ton of success, historically speaking, against the Celtics and that trend continued in the first half as he helped Miami race out to an early double-digit lead, supplying 15 first-half points on 6-of-9 from the floor, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. He cooled off in the second half as the Heat were unable to hold off Boston’s late rally, which was fueled by a red-hot Anfernee Simons. The 26-year-old sharpshooter, who came into this one battling rib and toe issues, has scored at least 17 points in five straight games since making his season debut back on January 6.

Herro was initially listed as probable. His toe had kept him out for 11 games, but he has played in four of the last five since returning. It appears he’ll play in yet another one as the team manages his toe injury.

In addition to the toe injury that sidelined him for an extended period, Herro is also on the injury report due to a rib contusion suffered during Saturday’s loss to the Pacers. However, he is probable, so fantasy managers should expect Herro to play.

Herro attempted only three three-pointers in his third contest since making his season debut back on January 6. The 26-year-old sharpshooter has hoisted at least 15 shot attempts in all three contests and is averaging 21.8 points.

Initially questionable, Herro is officially available for Sunday’s game. His availability means that Kel’el Ware will be relegated to the bench for a second consecutive game.

Herro returned to the starting lineup Saturday in his second game back from a toe injury. Somewhere along the way, the 25-year-old point guard also picked up a rib contusion. Now Herro is questionable against the Thunder on Sunday. Kel’el Ware had just two points with Herro starting Saturday and would seem to benefit if Herro is out Sunday.

After coming off the bench in his first game back from a toe injury, Herro was back in the starting lineup on Saturday. He finished with a complete stat line, but the Heat were blown out and the other starters struggled. Where Herro is within the lineup doesn’t matter much, as he’ll provide solid fantasy value wherever. But it does affect Kel’el Ware, who tallied two points and three rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench. Ware can still offer reliable fantasy value, but he’s someone to watch with Herro back in the fold. The Heat visit Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Herro was supposed to start on Thursday against the Bulls, but the game was postponed due to condensation on the United Center floor. So, he’ll make his first start since returning from a toe injury on Saturday, with Kel’el Ware coming off the bench.

After coming off the bench in his first game back from a right great toe injury, Herro has returned to the starting lineup. As a result, Kel’el Ware will come off the bench. While his ceiling is slightly lower with the demotion, Ware should still be rostered in most leagues.

Herro looked like his usual self coming off the bench in this one following an 11-game absence recovering from a right toe injury. He shot the ball well overall but was just 1-of-4 from three-point range in his first game action since December 9. It was an off night for Miami overall as they shot just 35.7 percent from the floor as a team and failed to break the century mark. It’s been a frustrating season for Herro, and fantasy managers, as injuries have limited to just seven games after he played 77 of 82 last year. He shouldn’t have too many restrictions from a minutes standpoint moving forward.

Herro was available on Sunday, but he didn’t take the court. According to Heat reporter Ira Winderman, Herro plans to play against the Timberwolves, which will be his first taste of game action since December 9. Fantasy managers can get him into lineups, but they should temper expectations for his first game back.

While Herro is available, he is not expected to see any action. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said the guard remains day-to-day and is unsure when Herro will be available. Kel’el Ware will continue to start until that changes.

Herro, who last played on December 9, has appeared in six games this season. After his first extended absence of the season, the Heat inserted the guard into the starting lineup immediately. If that were the approach for Sunday (if Herro plays), Kel’el Ware would be the player most likely headed to the bench based on head coach Erik Spoelstra’s approach in the past. However, by no means should fantasy managers consider dropping Ware if he’s moved into a reserve role.

We’re now coming up on a month with Herro on the sidelines. He has now missed nine games and hasn’t played since December 9th. With Pelle Harsson also out on Thursday, there should be extra usage for Davion Mitchell and Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Herro has not appeared in a game since December 9, with Saturday’s matchup with the Pacers being the seventh straight that he’s missed. According to Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, the guard is progressing in his recovery, but he does not have a timeline for return. Once Herro is cleared to return and play without restrictions, Pelle Larsson is the player most likely headed to the bench, with Davion Mitchell’s defense keeping him with the starters.

Herro is set to miss his seventh consecutive game with a toe injury. Davion Mitchell had six points and seven assists in 29 minutes as the starting point guard in the win over the Hawks on Friday. He’ll continue to have that role with Herro out.
