"Herro, 25, led the Heat in scoring last year and assumed a primary creation role, averaging a team-high 23.9 points on a career-best 60.5 percent true shooting. It all reared its ugly head in Miami's embarrassing first-round exit at the hands of the Cleveland Cavaliers. But Herro did a respectable job leading the charge offensively for most of the season, albeit for a below-average unit."
"In the meantime, the Heat will have to find some way to replace his near 25-point per game production. His slice of scoring pie will be up for grabs, and I'm eyeing one particular player who could supplant him, if anyone does: New Heat guard Norman Powell. Let's make one thing clear: Powell was brought in as an addition, not a replacement. For the first month, at least, he's effectively replacing Herro."
Tyler Herro will miss the start of the 2024-25 season after undergoing foot surgery. Herro led Miami with 23.9 points per game and a career-best 60.5 percent true shooting, and his absence follows Miami's embarrassing first-round exit to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Heat have finished in the league's bottom third the past three seasons, and extended Herro absence could prolong that trend. Miami must replace his near-25-point production, and Norman Powell has been identified as the most likely candidate to assume increased scoring responsibility. The Heat will still run offense through Bam Adebayo and Andrew Wiggins.
