Tyler Herro expected to miss several weeks with ankle sprain

23-year-old Tyler Herro was averaging a career-high 22.9 points per game through the first eight games of the season, which included a six-point effort in eight minutes of action Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Miami Heat star was hurt after making two of his four shots to start the game, and he will be out for at least two weeks due to the injury, according to Shams Charania.

This will end Herro’s electric start to the season, in which he scored 30 or more twice. In both of those games and in five of his eight games, Herro shot 50% or better from the field.
