Tyler Herro Believes They Could’ve Won The NBA Championship Last Season If He Was At His Regular Season Level Of Play

Tyler Herro had his best regular season with the Miami Heat last season as he averaged 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game on 44.7% shooting from the field that led him to win the 2022 Sixth Man of the Year.

In the playoffs however, Herro struggled to stand out, finishing the postseason with declined averages of 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game on 40.9% shooting from the field. He also battled a groin injury which restricted him from playing in three Eastern Conference Finals games.

Speaking to the Miami Herald, Herro talked about how their team would have fared throughout the rest of the postseason had he stayed at his regular season level of play. The 22-year old now said that the Heat could’ve won the NBA championship.

“It was tough the way it ended,” Herro, 22, said to the Miami Herald. “I felt like if I was at the level of play I was all season last year, I think we might have a fourth championship. That motivated me.”
