Herro Returns from Ribs Injury, Drops 24 Points Off Bench

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ribs) made a strong return from a 15-game absence Friday against the Hawks, coming off the bench to score 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) in just 23 minutes. He also added four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in the Heat's 128-97 victory. Herro, who was under a minutes restriction, scored 16 of his points in the first half. His availability for Saturday's game against Memphis remains to be determined as the team eases him back into action.
