Heat Injury Report: Will Tyler Herro play tonight against the Mavs? Current information on the availability of 24YO Star in back-to-back outing

The Miami Heat host the Dallas Mavericks tonight at the Kaseya Center in a crucial game for playoff position. Currently seeded 8th, the Heat are preparing to win the play-ins as the sixth-seeded team remains further into the final stretch of the regular season. However, the Heat's roster faces some uncertainty due to a number of injuries.

Although no major injuries have plagued the team, the Heat currently have three of their players listed on the injury report, including Tyler Herro. As they prepare for a back-back-back in the essential phase, the status is as follows.

Injury status of Herro, Robinson & Rozier

Hours before the match, journalist Ira Winderman reported that Tyler Herro was back on the court and was ready to be back on the court soon. “Tyler Herro (foot) will likely play both ends of back-to-back sets. He is listed as available for tonight against the Mavs.” was the announcement.

Herro, who is dealing with foot tendonitis, is available for tonight's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is positive news for the Heat, who are in a very important stretch of the season considering Tyler Herro has averaged 29 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in the 39 games he has played. His return to the Heat lineup has given the offense a much-needed boost alongside Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler.

However, there are still some question marks surrounding the Heat's backcourt. Terry Rozier is considered questionable due to a neck injury sustained in a game against the Pacers. Rozier played 31 games for the Heat and averaged 16.4 points. He also averages 4.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. He quickly became an important player for Miami, providing scoring and playmaking alongside Butler.

Duncan Robinson, the sharpshooter, is also listed as questionable for the game. Robinson's shooting ability has been a key weapon for the Heat this season, but his inconsistency and injury issues have been a concern. Outside of them, Josh Richardson, who is recovering from a right shoulder injury, will not be on the Heat's field.

Predicted Lineups: Heat vs. Mavericks

Heat currently hold 8th place in the Eastern Conference after winning 6 of their last 10 games. Heat has an average home record of 20-18. In Tyler Herro's absence, they struggled all season, losing 17 games. They have averaged 110.1 points per game, which is 27th overall in the league. On the other hand, they were good on defense, conceding just 108.5 points per game, which was 4th overall in the league. The Heat will look to get the most out of their shooting guard as they move forward. This is how they could set themselves up: Jimmy Butler, Nikola Jovic, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin.

The Dallas Mavericks are currently in 5th place in the Western Conference. They are in top form and have won 9 of their last 10 games. And they are on a 4-game winning streak. Their offense, led by Luka Dončić, is one of the best and brings their points average to 118.7, which is 5th overall in the league. They have conceded more points with an average of 115.8, which is 20th overall in the league. This is how they could set themselves up: Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr., Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington.

The Dallas Mavericks, who have one of the league's strongest offenses under the leadership of Luka Dončić, will pose a big challenge for the Heat. Miami's defense, led by Bam Adebayo, will be tested against the Mavericks' potent attack. This duel promises to be a battle between offensive firepower and defensive strength. It will be interesting to see if Herro can lead Miami to victory.
