Tyler Herro expects to sign an extension with the Miami Heat.
Herro will make $31 million this season and $33 million next season in the final year of his deal.
“I expect to get something done,” Tyler Herro said Monday at Miami Heat media day. “I still got two years left on my deal. And this shouldn’t hinder anything. I’ll be back damn near November 15, is the latest I’ll be back, right? So you won’t even notice I’m gone. I’ll be back pretty fast.
“It is important for me. Been here six years. I feel like I’ve earned it. I’m not saying what I’ve earned, but I’ve earned something. And I think I deserve it and I want to be here ultimately. And I’ve vocally said that. But I do want to say, it’s not like a top priority and I’m not going to hinder this season on getting an extension or not.”
Herro will miss “around eight weeks” after undergoing surgery to alleviate posterior impingement syndrome in his left ankle. The 90-minute procedure was performed by Dr. Thomas San Giovanni and assisted by Heat team physicians Dr. Harlan Selesnick and Dr. Frantz Lerebours at Doctors Hospital Surgery Center in Miami.
For the Heat last season, Herro averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks in 77 games. He made his first All-Star team and shot 47.2% from the field, 37.5% from beyond the arc and 87.8% from the free-throw line.
Herro has career averages of 19.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks with the Heat. He won the 2021-22 Sixth Man of the Year Award. Miami selected Herro with the 13th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.
The Heat lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the 2025 playoffs in four games. Jimmy Butler requested a trade and was traded to the Golden State Warriors in February.
