It was a tough summer for the Miami Heat‘s center, Tyler Herro, who was disrespected left and right all summer. During Game 1 of the playoffs against the Bucks last season, Tyler suffered a right-hand injury that resulted in him sitting out the Conference Finals. Due to the uncertainty, his name also popped up in trade rumors during the offseason. But he is back, and he is back with a statement.
The Heat lost 119-111 against the Boston Celtics on Friday, but this was a comeback match for Tyler, who let his game do the talking. He underperformed during the Heat’s season opener against the Pistons. He struggled to make shots, but it was raining buckets for the Heat on Friday whose pivotal offensive piece was back with action. And it looks like he won over his fans again.
