Tyler Herro has faced multiple injuries in the past few months
Tyler Herro was restricted to playing only 36 regular-season games due to multiple injuries. During the 36 appearances, he averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 total rebounds, and 4.4 assists. Unfortunately, an ankle injury led him to miss the majority portion of November 2023. After coming back to the court, Herro faced a shoulder injury and migraine which sidelined him for another two games.
Furthermore, during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on February 23, Herro got a knee injury and this was the last time fans saw him play on the NBA court. He was trying to shoot the ball while going through tight defensive pressure and ended up slipping. This led to infuriating pain in his left knee and Herro had to be carried off the court. Now, fans await to see him play against the Rockets, as the possibility of his return is high.
