According to a league source, Herro has been recovering from three fractured ribs after suffering a buckle rib fracture during the Heat’s Jan. 10 road loss to the Indiana Pacers. Herro went on to play the next three games with the help of Toradol shots to ease the pain, but a subsequent MRI on his ribs revealed the severity of the injury.

Herro missed the Heat’s final 15 games before the All-Star break because of what the Heat listed as “right costochondral; injury to the ribs,” which refers to the joints where ribs connect to cartilage. That has added to the pain that Herro has dealt with while sidelined.

But Herro will soon make his return, as he’s expected to take part in Thursday’s practice and is expected to return to game action in the coming days.

I swear if we go back to that tiny ass lineup where Herro was basically playing the 3 I’ll actually think spo is washed

You know Spo is salivating at getting as little height on the floor as possible. Come on now

he started double big the past couple of games despite starting small the 3rd last game with all the injuries, im holding out hope for a norm/herro/wiggs/bam/ware starting lineup

are Heat fans against Spo? i thought it was pretty unanimous he’s a top 3 coach in the league

He is, but anytime a team is mid there’s going to be some level of hate directed at the coach. Even if the roster is fully mid as constructed 😂. Not really sure what length these guys want spo to put out there besides ware..?

Check out the Heat subreddit, where you’ll see a lot of Spo hate. While there are reasonable fans there, it may be the dumbest place on the Internet

Fanbases are always going to overreact and point at the coach, no matter who that coach is, to blame during skids even when the roster is really the thing to blame.

Spo’s been getting extra flak this year from a certain segment of Heat fans because of the entire situation with Ware, whom they believe to be the saint who will solve all of the team’s problems even though the numbers and eye test show that he is currently a negative impact player and if anything Spo has been soft on him.

he is, im not against him. but the small lineups have been not fun to watch and theres just really no point in watching if we continue to use it cuz the future is pretty clearly a bam/ware pairing

dont get me wrong there r heat fans that think spo actually hates ware and is specifically targeting him, theyre wrong and ware has made his share of mistakes that led to his benching

Heat fans have been especially weird about Spo this year. Mostly bc of the Ware benchings but also they don’t know ball and don’t understand how lacking this team is in offensive talent, especially with all the injuries.

Some of us are annoyed with him. For me, it’s:

Norm and Tyler haven’t worked together in the starting lineup. Bam + Ware starting together was cooking before Herro came back. Herro + Norm are close offensively (this year, anyway) and defense isn’t strong enough in the starting lineup with them both.
Ware was benched to insert Tyler and we were losing games. Ware was publicly called out (not something Spo ever really does) and given a very short hook for a guy with a ton of potential. Sure, there are defensive lapses - he is definitely still learning and improving - but it is frustrating. Add to it that Bam has publicly said multiple times he would rather play the 4 and it adds to the frustration.

norm/tyler plus davion hasnt worked. i dont remember us using an actual norm/tyler backcourt for much at all

any lineup where norm is the 2 and tyler is the defacto 3 is just doomed lol

Gotta be Herro, Powell, Wiggs, Bam, Ware with Jaime, Davion, Pelle, Kas, Jovic off the bench

thats wat we all thought until he came out with the tiny ass lineup lol

I think it made more sense the first time around. Locked On Heat had a good segment about it earlier this week talking about how it felt like a “test”. That he was expected to force Spo to play him because he was now going against inferior competition in backups, and instead of rising up he shrank

Davion deserved a shot and it didn’t work. Kel’el also deserves a shot and I think he’s getting it the rest of the season. Up to that point Davion had played much better with Bam than Ware had, and it’s flipped of late. So idk maybe it’ll work but I’m not exactly holding my breath

Honestly first time I heard it was fractured ribs. Thought it was bruising and taking too long to come back.

His unavailability this year has been very frustrating.

Sorry that my post wasn’t about tanking solutions or KD’s burner.
