""The Miami Heat are in the midst of their first four-game skid of the 2025-26 season. Every season features highs and lows - both individually and collectively - but the Heat's recent skid coincides with Tyler Herro's return to the lineup. Herro isn't having a bad start to the season, per se. He's averaging 23.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 50.5 percent from the floor, 40.5 percent from 3-point range and 92.3 percent from the free-throw line. But it has been far from perfect - on both ends - through his first six games.""
""It will be a little bit of a process working him back into the mix. But to get where we need to go, we need Tyler's skill and talent. "That's what we're working on right now. We can be very dangerous when we get guys on the same page, committing to our identity. And Tyler's a big part of that.""
Miami is experiencing its first four-game skid of 2025-26 that coincides with Tyler Herro's return to the lineup. Herro is averaging 23.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists, shooting 50.5 percent overall, 40.5 percent from three and 92.3 percent from the free-throw line. Offensive production has dipped: over the last eight games the team scored more than 111 points only twice compared with most of the first 17 games. Ball movement and shooting have declined. Defensive shortcomings, particularly Herro's struggles as a target for ball handlers, have reduced his overall impact despite his scoring. Coach Erik Spoelstra emphasized patience and Herro's importance to the team's identity.
