NBA Rumors: Miami Heat Star Unlikely To Return For The NBA Finals

 

The Miami Heat have opened up a commanding 3-0 lead on the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, and while they've still got to close it out, many fans have their eyes on a potential matchup with the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals.

Those fans have also been holding out hope that former Sixth Man of the Year Tyler Herro could return after suffering a wrist injury early in the playoffs, but unfortunately, it appears now that he won't have healed in time if they do indeed make it that far.

On paper, this will be a key loss for Miami, but in Herro's absence, the Heat have seen great performances from Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, Cody Martin and Kyle Lowry, so they will be no doubt ready to compete regardless of who is on the floor.
