Overview
- Local reporting this week says Miami is likely to move on from Tyler Herro this summer, with Pat Riley stressing that availability is his first test for players.
- Herro played 33 games in 2025–26 and averaged 20.5 points on efficient shooting, then lined up a minor, precautionary foot procedure for the offseason.
- Miami skipped his extension window in October, leaving a $33 million expiring deal for 2026–27 and signaling little appetite for a new long-term commitment.
- Writers have floated the Pistons, Rockets, and Timberwolves as possible trade fits, citing Herro’s shooting and expiring contract while noting defense and injury risks.
- Herro’s seven Heat seasons include an All-Star nod in 2025 and Sixth Man of the Year in 2022, but five seasons with 55 or fewer games have shaped the team’s stance.
