After an errant 3-point shot, it was obvious that Herro was experiencing pain in his shooting hand. He didn&#8217;t return to the court after halftime, and the Heat ruled him out for the remainder of the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Herro tallied 12 points on 5-for-9 from the floor before his injury.<\/p>\n<p>After Game 1, an X-ray confirmed that Herro had broken his right hand. Similar injuries take four to six weeks to heal.<\/p>\n<p>Herro won the 2022 NBA Sixth Man of the Year and was promoted to the Heat&#8217;s starting five for most of the 2022-23 season. He averaged 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists while shooting 37.8% from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Erik Spoelstra will rely on backup shooting guard Victor Oladipo to fill in for Herro for the remainder of this series. Oladipo averaged 10.7 points, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game in 42 games this season.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tyler Herro broke his right hand on this play in the 2nd quarter. <\/p>\n<p>He will not return.  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4uAQxVcJN8\">pic.twitter.com\/4uAQxVcJN8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bally Sports Sun: HEAT (@BallyHEAT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BallyHEAT\/status\/1647738615252897794?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 16, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Herro, Greek Freak Among Game 1 Injuries<\/h2>\n<p>The Bucks looked rusty from the jump in Game 1, while the Heat had already participated in a pair of play-in games to gear up for the rough-and-tumble postseason.<\/p>\n<p>The Heat surged ahead with a 13-point lead at halftime.
