Tyler Herro will miss Friday’s elimination game in Boston because of an ongoing strained left groin.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro has been ruled out for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Boston Celtics because of an ongoing strained left groin, the team announced.
“He’s definitely made progress, but he’s not quite ready,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before Friday’s must-win showdown (8:30 ET, ESPN).

Herro suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Game 3, and the Kia Sixth Man of the Year has been out of action since.
Miami has struggled offensively in his absence, averaging 81 points in the past two games — both Boston wins. The Heat shot just 33.3% from the floor in Game 5.
Herro has averaged 13.5 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14 playoff games.
Despite being up 3-2, expect the Celtics to play with a 'sense of urgency' while Heat coach Erik Spoelstra may have a short leash if players aren't hitting shots.
Without the Kia NBA Sixth man of the Year, Miami shoots 7-for-45 from 3-point range and moves to the brink of elimination.
Miami's third-year guard has been named the best reserve of the season.
Performance in the 1st and 3rd quarters can make or break a team's hopes in the 2022 postseason.
