MIAMI — The Miami Heat announced three injury absences ahead of Monday night’s Red, White & Pink intrasquad scrimmage, with all three players also to miss Tuesday night’s preseason opener against the Charlotte Hornets at Spectrum Center.
Tyler Herro, who has battled a series of injuries in recent years, is sidelined by a strained right groin. The team said an MRI was not necessary, terming it a slight ailment.
