Tyler Herro on poor 2022-23 playoffs: “I had my groin injury. That was one thing, but that happened later in the playoffs. I still wasn’t playing well at the beginning of the playoffs. I think part of it had to do with finding out I’m having another kid. That was a lot mentally. It was just the timing of it, but it is what it is, and I’m back ready to hoop, and obviously the playoffs didn’t go the way I wanted it to, but it’s another year and another crack at it.”

Brady Hawk: I asked Tyler Herro earlier about his PnR with Bam Adebayo, and what’s next for that 2 man game: pic.twitter.com/19WBGxc2bY -via Twitter @BradyHawk305 / September 26, 2022
Ira Winderman: Tyler Herro downplays extension deadline being three weeks away. Says he will let his agent handle such matters. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / September 26, 2022
Herro was kind enough to spend some time with kids at a youth basketball camp recently, but he showed absolutely no mercy to one particular youngster. In a video that went viral, the Miami Heat star can be seen hitting a kid that could not have been over 8 years old with a ferocious cross-over. The poor little guy got put in a blender. -via Larry Brown Sports / August 23, 2022
