What happened to Jaime Jaquez Jr and Tyler Herro?

Jaime Jaquez has been added to the team's injury report and listed as questionable for Sunday's clash against the Cavaliers due to concerns regarding both knee and ankle problems, according to a report from Ira Winderman.

Tyler Herro experienced a left knee hyperextension during the Feb. 23 game, a 106-95 victory against the Pelicans. He exited the game in the fourth quarter, initially sparking concerns about a serious injury, but the injury turned out to be less severe than initially feared.

Although Herro could have returned after recovering from his initial injury, he faced another setback in his rehabilitation.

This time, he injured his right foot, leading to a short hiatus. As a result of this ailment, the former 6th Man of the Year winner has been sidelined for five games.
