What happened to Tyler Herro?

Against the New Orleans Pelicans on Feb. 23, Tyler Herro sustained a knee injury. Attempting to navigate through tight defensive coverage while moving the ball up the court, Herro slipped, causing his left knee to hyperextend as he lost possession of the ball.

He immediately clutched his knee in pain and remained on the ground, visibly distressed. He was assisted off the court and did not return. Herro received a platelet-rich plasma injection to address his injury.

If the treatment is positive, it could benefit the Miami Heat as they prepare for the postseason

At the time, reports from credible sources didn't dismiss the possibility of a potential comeback. As the competition intensifies in the play-in race, his return remains a viable option.
