Herro sustained the injury during the Heat's Game 3 win over the Celtics on Saturday. He didn't play the final eight minutes, and was later seen on the sideline with his upper left leg wrapped and iced. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game that Herro could have returned, but with Victor Oladipo playing so well he stuck with Oladipo and played it safe with Herro's injury.
Herro has been hot and cold over the playoffs and hasn't found a rhythm. He made four of 15 field goals in Game 3, and is 1-for-14 on three-pointers over the series against the Celtics. He hasn't looked right, though the groin injury explains his dismal performance in Game 3.
In better news for the Heat, multiple injured players could be good to go Monday night. Kyle Lowry, Max Strus, Gabe Vincent, and P.J. Tucker will all warm up with the intent to play.
Jimmy Butler, who didn't play in the second half of Game 3 due to a knee injury, will also warm up.
