If the Miami Heat are going to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics, they'll have to do it without Tyler Herro.
Herro was officially ruled out for Game 6 a shade under 90 minutes before tipoff.
"These are not easy decisions," head coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters. "He has made progress but he’s not ready to step into this type of intensity.”
Herro has missed Miami's last two games because of the groin ailment, and the Heat went on to lose both contests to fall behind the Celtics 3-2 in the series.
