The former Kentucky star is averaging 19.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest on 46.8% shooting from the field.

He is one of their best players, so his absence is a big deal. 

The Heat have been struggling to start the new season, as they are just 4-6 in their first ten games. 

In their most recent game against the Indiana Pacers, they lost on the road by a score of 101-99. 

Herro led the team with 29 points, five rebounds and five assists. 

Last season, they made the Eastern Conference Finals and were the first seed in the Eastern Conference. 

The Heat beat the Trail Blazers in Oregon last month by a score of 119-98, which gave them their first loss of the season. 

Coming into the night, the Trail Blazers are 6-3 in their first nine games of the season. 

They had played the last four games without Damian Lillard and went 2-2. 

According to Chris Haynes of the NBA on TNT, Lillard will return on Monday.

Haynes: "After missing the last four games with a calf stain, Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard will make his return tonight against the Miami Heat, league sources tell @NBAonTNT."
