The graduate of the University of Kentucky noted that he always knew right away when he had been hurt. I had a suspicion in my head. My ankle went crunching and cracking. And I’m thinking, ‘Yeah, that will be it,'” he explained.
It was some poor luck, he said, but he would keep working hard nevertheless. Injuries are nothing new for me. I’m going to keep plugging away at it.
What happened when Herro was hurt
With 57 seconds remaining in the first quarter, Tyler took a chance on a floater in the paint against the Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he twisted his right ankle when he fell on an adversary’s foot.
Herro collapsed instantly and rolled around on the floor for a couple of seconds, writhing in apparent agony. After resting for a while, the athlete got up and hopped off the court on his healthy foot.
Just а rаndоm thоught. а flоаter, оr а shоt I tаke frequently thrоughоut gаmes. Just unfоrtunаte tо crаsh оn his fооt,” bemоаned the plаyer аfter the gаme.
Seven of the player’s injuries have occurred this year for the Heat. He had hand surgery on Wednesday after hurting it in April’s playoff matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks.
He tore his quadriceps, cracked a rib, twisted both knees, ruptured his Achilles tendon, and strained his back this year. Despite the minor nature of these incidents, his performance has since suffered.
Herro is averaging 22.9 points, 5.0 boards, 4.6 assists, and 34.0 minutes per game thus far this season. For life, the athlete has 17.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.5 assists with 31.6 minutes per game.
