Heat guard Tyler Herro is no longer wearing a walking boot, the team confirmed on Monday, according to Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Herro, who has been out since November 8 due to a Grade 2 right ankle sprain, was scheduled to wear the boot for 10 days. Assuming the original plan remains in place, he will be reevaluated later this week.
Herro’s injury was reported to be “several” weeks away, so he won’t be back on the court anytime soon. Still, it’s encouraging that he appears to be on track with his recovery plan so far.
Herro is in the first year of a four-year, $120 million+ rookie scale contract he signed last year. Prior to the injury, the 23-year-old was off to a strong start this season, averaging 25.3 points per game on.446/.410/.909 shooting in seven healthy games (all starts), while also grabbing 5.6 rebounds and dishing out 5.0 assists per night.
