Although Tyler Herro’s return to the Miami Heat is drawing near, the right ankle sprain that has kept him out for the past two weeks is likely to keep him out for at least one more week.

Regarding Herro’s situation during Monday’s practice, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra stated, “It’s trending in the right direction.”.

Herro, whose ankle was re-evaluated over the weekend, sat out Monday’s practice but was seen shooting hoops with Heat assistant coaches following the session. His right ankle, which he sprained in a game at Memphis on November 8th, was not clearly bandaged or wrapped.

Before exiting that game early, Herro was averaging 25.3 points, 44.6% shooting (41% from 3-point range), 5.6 rebounds, and 5 assists in 37.7 minutes per game.

A left hip contusion in Bam Adebayo and a right thumb sprain in Duncan Robinson are both probable injuries; a right ankle sprain in Jimmy Butler and a lower back contusion in Haywood Highsmith are both questionable.

In additiоn tо sitting оut Tuesday’s game in Miami with left Achilles tendоnitis, the Bucks alsо classified Marques Bоlden, Jae Crоwder, TyTy Washingtоn Jr., and Lindell Wiggintоn as questiоnable.
