The Miami Heat could be getting a big boost for the NBA Finals even sooner than they expected.
Tyler Herro, who suffered a broken hand in Miami’s first game of the playoffs, has been ramping up his workouts recently in anticipation of playing at some point in the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets. After the Heat beat the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, TNT’s Chris Haynes reported that Game 3 of the Finals was the target return date for Herro.
Herro could be cleared even sooner than that, though, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. The ESPN insider said Thursday that the Heat have not ruled out having Herro for Game 2 on Sunday.
