Tyler Herro has been sidelined with a broken hand this post-season. The Miami Heat star suffered the injury in the team's first game against the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. Herro was told the only chance of a return this season would be if the team makes it to the NBA Finals. However, that may seem like a longshot as no eighth seed has ever appeared in the Finals. While the team's rivalry with the Bucks continues to grow. Herro recently told a story that brings even more to the hate between the two.
The Atheltic's Mike Vorkunov recently did an interview with Herro. In the interview, Herro mentioned that the Heat had banned the team from wearing any Giannis signature shoe. Actually, Herro stated the decision was made years ago when the two teams met in the playoffs. However, Herro stated that it was a team decision. Not a decision made by coaches, ownership, or certain players. The ban was put in place to unify the team. Wearing the shoes of your enemy doesn't really make them feel like your enemy.
Tyler Herro To Miss Playoffs
The Bucks and Heat have split the first two games of the series. Now the next two games will take place in South Beach. However, it is still uncertain if Giannis will be able to return for the Bucks. Giannis suffered a back injury in Game 1, that caused the former MVP to miss Game 2. But the Bucks didn't miss a beat. As the team took down the Heat in Game 2. Unfortunately, it now seems like injuries are going to continue to play a factor in this series. Just as they've done in almost every other series this post-season.
Herro's injury has been a massive loss for Miami. According to Reggie Miller, Herro's absence will play a bigger role than Giannis being out for Milwaukee. Those comments have been under fire, as Giannis is the most vital part of the Milwaukee team. What are your thoughts on the Heat banning the team from wearing a competitor's sneakers?
