Tyler Herro is still expected to miss Game 3 due to his injury that had sidelined him since the Bucks series earlier in the Playoffs.

As per reports Tyler Herro is still experiencing soreness and swelling in his shooting hand after shooting workouts, an injury that would be significantly less impactful if it was on the other hand. He is reportedly cleared for games based on his decision and have decided not to suit up for the upcoming Game.

Apart from the discomfort he is experiencing, the star is reluctant to return to the lineup as the Team has been doing tremendously well in the Playoffs as of right now and is worried that he might mess up the flow of the team, as per reports: “He also shared his consideration of not wanting to come back and mess up the rhythm of the team.”

The Heat took down Denver in Game 2 to even the series to 1-1 and the team is riding off on high spirit heading into Game 3. Herro’s decision to not play can have huge impact on the outcome of the Finals as this series is birthing into a very tight-knit series.

Miami Heat won 111-108, as they stole Game 2 of the Finals from the Denver Nuggets after a disappointing loss in Game 1.

After Game 1 everyone thought the series was over for the Heat but never doubt the brilliance of Erik Spoelstra and the resilience of the Miami Heat team as they battled out the Nuggets despite a 41 points masterclass from Nikola Jokic. In Game 1, the Nuggets exploited the Heats’ lack of size, throwing down the ball inside the paint to get the Heat guards in foul trouble, the Murray-Jokic pick-n-roll was virtually impossible to guard as the Heat doesn’t have the personnel to guard Jokic when Adebayo got switched on to Jokic.

In Game 2, Erik Spoelstra made a beautiful adjustment letting Jokic score the ball instead of making him pass out the ball. Murray had an ‘ok’ game scoring 18 points and 10 assists; the Heat wouldn’t give breathing room for any of the Nuggets players except for Jokic blocking all his passing lanes in the post.

Also, a key factor in the Game was the Role-players like Kevin Love and Gabe Vincent coming alive in the Fourth quarter. Duncan Robinson revived the Heat from a scoring drought as he scored 10 of his total 10 points in a stretch of two minutes that deliberately sparked a Jimmy Butler take over down the stretches of the game.

Denver Nuggets played really well but the Heat outplayed them this game is a chess match between two legendary coaches, this series has the potential to be an all-timer for basketball junkies and basketball fans alike with the series being void of drama and straight hoops.
