According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami warm-up guard Tyler Herro will miss the start of the 2025-26 NBA season after surgery on left foot and ankle.
The damage has been affecting Herro since the summer, it is reported. The hot water defender recently received PRP and cortisone injections to avoid surgery, but Herro continued to feel uncomfortable.

Herro's return schedule has not been announced yet, but the team can announce details after Friday's surgery.
Herro, 25, enters his seventh NBA season – all warm. Last season, he led the team with a career-high 23.9 points and 5.5 assists in 77 games. He also scored 37.5% from three-point shooting, and he missed his attendance on the court, Miami scored 8.6 points per game and he sat out.
As part of Kenny Smith's “Young Star” team, his drama won his place in the NBA All-Star Game, along with the likes of Cade Cunningham, Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards. He also went on to win the three-point contest.
Herro and Heat are eligible to start discussing contract extensions on October 1, and he will be able to add three years to a two-year three-year contract, $149.7 million in deals, while his current contract has $64 million left. If the parties do not reach an agreement by October 20, Herro will be eligible for a four-year, $206.9 million extension next summer.

Herro and Heat representatives are reportedly expected to meet in early October. Team President Pat Riley said in May that the discussion could wait until the next offseason.
“Pay me now, or pay me later,” Riley said. “We've talked about it. I talked about it with Taylor, so we'll see what happens. The numbers of these people are getting big for a lot of people. The highest salary is the highest in this league, who are they going to? Who am I going to? They're saying, who are they, who are they going to? Not working on it yet, but we're going to discuss it, and I've talked about it with him.”
