Heat defense is so bad without Bam Adebayo. Crazy how much of a downgrade Cody Zeller is. – 8:34 PM

Erik Spoelstra says the Heat remains encouraged by Tyler Herro’s progress. But says team will continue to be responsible and stick to process, and adds that the fact Herro would be returning to an NBA Finals game makes this a bit different. – 6:45 PM

Erik Spoelstra said Tyler Herro started doing contact work as soon as the team arrived in Denver. He said they’re encouraged by his progress, but added that context has to be considered — he’s not trying to return to a regular season game, he’s trying to return in the Finals. – 6:44 PM

Unsurprisingly, Caleb Martin will be available to play for the Heat in Game 2 (he missed practice on Saturday due to an illness).
Tyler Herro is out for Game 2 also, as expected, reports @IraHeatBeat If he’s going to play in this series it will start in Miami. – 6:05 PM

Considering Tyler Herro is still listed as out on the 5:30 p.m. injury report, it seems like that’s unlikely to change for Game 2. – 5:31 PM

From PM: Heat lists Herro as out but could change mind. And Martin questionable… And Jokic on why Heat is ‘great’… And Strus on moving past 0 for 10…And why Butler remains supremely confident… And why Nuggets say Heat got only 2 FTs. And more: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 9:42 AM

NEW: Though Heat listed Herro as out a few minutes ago, a weird NBA rule allows teams to change that status on game days. So he still might play tomorrow. (Perhaps, perhaps not.) And Martin, Zeller questionable: miamiherald.com/sports/spt-col… – 7:44 PM

The Heat are listing Tyler Herro (hand) as out for Sunday’s Game 2 in Denver. But that does not mean he is definitively out. That status can be changed up until game time. Martin (illness) and Zeller (foot sprain) are listed as questionable. Vincent (ankle) listed as available. – 7:37 PM

While Tyler Herro is currently listed as out for Game 2, it’s still possible that he can be upgraded tomorrow before the game. So don’t lose hope yet. – 7:37 PM
