Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n
It has been a rough season for Tyler Herro<\/a> due to multiple injuries since the offseason. Herro has only played in 33 games this season, but the Miami Heat<\/a> still managed to qualify for the NBA Play-In Tournament.<\/p>\n Herro averaged<\/a> 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season. He missed<\/a> the first 17 games of the season after undergoing left ankle surgery to alleviate posterior impingement syndrome.<\/p>\n Five games into his campaign, he suffered a toe injury that kept him out for 13 out of the next 14 games. His misfortunes continued after another five games, this time a rib contusion that cost him 15 straight.<\/p>\n Herro was able to healthier in the final two months of the season, missing just four of the last 26 games. He did endure a sore right foot on April 10, but the Heat announced some good news ahead of their game against the Charlotte Hornets<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Heat Reveal Herro\u2019s Status for Hornets Game GettyTyler Herro #14 of the Miami Heat looks on after the game between the Miami Heat and the Houston Rockets<\/a> at Toyota Center on March 21, 2026 in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n The Hornets welcome the Heat at the Spectrum Center for the NBA<\/a> Play-In Tournament. The winner of this game advances to face either the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> or Orlando Magic<\/a> for the No. 8 seed in the East.<\/p>\n And the loser? They head to an early vacation.<\/p>\n According to the Heat\u2019s official injury report<\/a>, Herro is still dealing with soreness in his right foot, but he has been listed as available. He has cleared all the hurdles and will be available to play in a must-win game.<\/p>\n In addition to Herro, Simone Fontecchio<\/a> and Andrew Wiggins<\/a> have also been listed as available despite a sore left ankle and left big toe sesamoiditis, respectively. Pelle Larsson<\/a> is questionable with a lower right leg contusion, while Nikola Jovic<\/a> and Dru Smith<\/a> are unable to suit up.<\/p>\n Hornets vs. Heat Preview Moussa Diabate<\/a> #14 of the Charlotte Hornets guards Bam Adebayo #13 of the Miami Heat in the first half during their game at Spectrum Center on March 06, 2026 in Charlotte, North Carolina.<\/p>\n For the fifth time this season, the Hornets and Heat face each other, but the stakes are higher this time around.<\/p>\n The Heat won<\/a> the season series 3-1. They won the first three games with an average margin of 17.7 points. The Hornets got their lick back on March 17, winning by 30 points.<\/p>\n It should be noted that the first two wins by Miami were early in the season, when the Hornets were still struggling with injuries and chemistry. They have been a very different team since the calendar flipped to 2026.<\/p>\n Since January 1, the Hornets are 33-16, which is the sixth-best record in the league in terms of percentage. They have been playing like a legitimate playoff contender, though they have only won six of their last 10 regular-season games.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the Heat struggled since Bam Adebayo<\/a> scored 83 points on March 10. They went 6-10 in their final 16 games, though they won two in a row to end the regular season.<\/p>\n The Hornets-Heat game is scheduled<\/a> for a 7:30 p.m. EST tip-off. The game will be exclusively available on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tJuan Paolo David<\/a> Juan Paolo David is a sports journalist covering basketball for Heavy.
