Lately, the Miami Heat have been rolling with their star guard Tyler Herro on the injury report. According to the team, he’s been dealing with rotator cuff soreness.

Despite having a presence on the injury report, Herro hasn’t been known to take time off. With Miami having 11 games in the bag, the veteran guard has yet to miss a matchup this year.

Herro might be playing through a setback, but it hasn’t shown much in his numbers. Through the first 11 games of the season, the young veteran is scoring at a career-high pace.

Taking 17 shots per game, Herro is knocking down shots at a 50 percent clip. From three, Herro’s been dominating with 9.5 shots per game from long range, averaging 46 percent. He’s producing 25 points per game, which is a four-point jump compared to last season.

Lately, Herro has taken on more responsibility in the absence of the All-Star, Jimmy Butler. As Butler recovers from an ankle injury, he’s missed the last few games for Miami. Fortunately for the Heat, Herro has helped Miami go 2-1 in Butler’s absence.

The Heat head into their Monday night matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers with a 5-7 record. They place eighth in the Eastern Conference, tied with the Charlotte Hornets.

Meanwhile, the Sixers have been one of the shockingly disappointing teams through the first ten-plus games of action. After taking on three losses in a row, including a road matchup against the Orlando Magic on Friday, the Sixers will take the court in Miami with a 2-10 record.

Once again, Herro is on the Heat injury report, but he is available and starting.

The Heat and the Sixers will tip at 7:30 PM ET.
