Tyler Herro: There were rumors floating around my name that were never true

Herro has more than two million followers on Instagram and they provided enough hateful ammunition in the comments of his posts to send anyone into a funk. “There were so much rumors floating around my name,” Herro says. “The lifestyle stuff, the girls, and saying I’m getting caught up in that, which was never true.”

I asked Hawks coach Nate McMillan about the challenges that Tyler Herro presents:
“You have Butler tonight who went off. And Tyler’s very capable of doing the same thing.”

More on this storyline

He’s a former basketball player himself, who still studies the game like he was playing. He has a deep connection to his oldest son. And he’d never experienced Tyler quite like he was in 2020-21, when rumors swirled of a potential trade that would’ve sent Herro to the Houston Rockets as part of a package for James Harden. “That’s where he started losing some of his confidence and wondering, ‘What am I doing wrong?'” Chris says. “He wasn’t at the arena as much. I think he felt some people went bad on him, so he kind of stayed away.” -via ESPN / April 22, 2022 Barry Jackson: Haslem makes clear issue with Jimmy Butler is resolved: “Jimmy’s my brother.
