TL;DR
- Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro are traveling with the Miami Heat on their road trip.
- Herro has missed the entire season recovering from offseason ankle surgery.
- Adebayo sustained a toe injury last week against the Denver Nuggets.
- Their return could be nearing, which would improve the Heat's 7-5 record.
The Miami Heat could be getting back two of their most important players sooner rather than later.
Per Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel, Bam Adebayo, and Tyler Herro — who are both currently on the shelf with injuries — are traveling with the team on their road trip to New York on Thursday. Other than that, there isn’t much of a status update, but it’s a good sign that their return could be nearing.
Herro has missed all of this season as he rehabilitates from offseason ankle surgery. Last season, he led the Heat in scoring with an average of 23.9 points per game and earned his first All-Star selection.
Adebayo sustained a toe injury last week during the game against the Denver Nuggets, causing him to miss the team's most recent four contests. This season, he's recorded an average of 19.9 points and 8.1 rebounds.
Despite missing their key players, the Heat are still 7-5 through the first 12 games, a record that will only improve if they get their star power back on the court as soon as possible.
