More on this storyline
Ira Winderman: Beyond Tyler Herro (ankle) being out, the Heat’s injury report lists Caleb Martin (knee) as out and Jimmy Butler (knee) as probable. In addition, R.J. Hampton is on his G League assignment. Jamal Cain and Nikola Jovic are back after missing time due to illness. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / November 10, 2023
Those guys have high usages,” Spoelstra said, referring to the Heat’s leading trio of Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler and Herro. “But Kyle is smart and he knows his aggressiveness is important to our team. The aggressiveness comes from the attacks, getting in the paint. But also being a recipient behind the three-point line and aggressively hunting those open catch-and-shoot threes. That’s really important for our team. It’s part of his brilliance. He’s been able to find ways to be effective on the ball or off the ball, and that’s important for our team.” -via Miami Herald / November 10, 2023
