Heat's Tyler Herro: Solid outing in preseason debut

Herro amassed 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 15 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason win over the Pelicans.

Herro impressed in his preseason debut after missing time due to a groin strain. The sharpshooter played only 15 minutes while tying Duncan Robinson (18 minutes) with a team-high 12 points. Herro is coming off one of his best statistical years, during which he averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from deep across 33.5 minutes per game. However, the 24-year-old played a career-low 42 regular-season games due to a litany of injuries -- most notably an ankle sprain, foot tendonitis and a hyperextended knee. Herro also has yet to eclipse 70 regular-season appearances in his five-year career.
