Heat’s Tyler Herro breaks right hand in playoff opener
Associated PressMILWAUKEE — Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro broke his right hand late in the second quarter of his team’s Eastern Conference playoff opener with the Milwaukee Bucks. “He’s not going to play the next game, and then we’ll just figure it out,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after Miami’s 130-117 victory over the top-seeded Bucks. “I got the same diagnosis that you all heard.” Herro was leaning forward and in obvious discomfort while standing in front of the Heat’s bench in the final minute of the second quarter. “You can’t fully make up what Tyler has been for our team all year long, but guys got to step up, including myself, including Bam and whoever Spo calls upon to do an offensive assignment, a defensive assignment, to bring some energy, to dive on the floor, get a loose ball or rebound,” Jimmy Butler said.
