Heat's Tyler Herro not yet cleared to return from broken hand

MIAMI -- Heat guard Tyler Herro still hasn't been cleared to play and has been ruled out of Game 4 of the NBA Finals as he continues to recover from a broken right hand.

Coach Erik Spoelstra said after Thursday's workout that Herro is going through all the necessary steps, but he hasn't been able to clear the final hurdle with Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets scheduled for Friday night.

"This is just part of the process," Spoelstra said. "You have to go through stages. First part of it was just shooting, then movement, then contact versus coaches, and then the next level of contact in practice.
