The Miami Heat lost starting guard Tyler Herro in the second quarter of Sunday’s Game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks after he suffered a broken hand. The injury occurred late in the second quarter after the reigning Sixth Man of the Year had put up 12 points (five-of-nine shooting) in 19 minutes, landing awkwardly on his hand while diving for a loose ball in the final minute of the half. Herro immediately began wincing in pain, but the ball found him open in the corner 20 seconds later in a position where he had to shoot. He air-balled the shot and signalled to the bench that he needed to be taken out. Miami quickly announced that X-rays confirmed he had broken his hand and would take no further part in the game. The 23-year-old is enjoying a terrific first season as a full-time starter, averaging 20.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists second quarter following a hard fall, and was ruled out for remainder of Game 1.
