Bam Adebayo knows exactly how Tyler Herro feels after his latest toe injury

With Tyler Hero leads the Miami Heat injury report ahead of Friday’s game against the Orlando Magic, there is growing concern that he could miss time after the in-state clash. As it is The Heat protector will undergo an MRI and is doubtful for the game in Orlando, he is suffering from a toe injury, which is a problem that Bam Adebayo he knows everything well.

Miami’s captain in Adebayo, has missed six games this season with a sprained toe, which he described as painful and an injury from which he is happy to return. He would put Herr’s injury into perspective, while also saying how he prays for himas the All-Star from last season just returned after missing the start of the season.

“I’m praying for him, man, because I know it’s tough mentally, obviously you struggle on the road all summer and then you have surgery and then you come back and it’s like another injury,” Adebayo said, according to The Miami Herald . “So I know it’s tough mentally. But we’re all family. We’re all here to be there for him and be there for him until he’s healthy again.”

“Listen,” Adebayo continued. “You don’t realize how rewarding it is to have a functional toe until it’s not functional and you have to actually walk around, push. People don’t think like you have to push off the screen. We have to run, jump. So that plays a big part in our sport.”

Hero has played just five games since returning from offseason ankle surgery, averaging 23.8 points per game while shooting 52.4 percent from the field and 48.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Looking at A loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday118-108, Herro got off to a fast start with 20 points in the first half, but went scoreless in the second. Miami’s head coach Erik Spoelstrawho said Herro will be “day-to-day,” pointed to a play late in the first quarter where he collided with D’Angelo Russell on a shot attempt, drawing a bucket and a foul.

“I know about as much as you do,” Herro said Friday. “I’m day-to-day right now. I’m not really sure what happened. I had a little pain in my big toe. Apparently, I got kicked like in the first quarter the other night in the butt. And then I woke up and my big toe hurt.”

This is no doubt another setback for the 25-year-old as this has been an injury-riddled season, as another word he would use is ‘disappointed’.

“I was already disappointed to start the season,” Hero continued, talking about missing games earlier. “So this doesn’t really change much.”

Either way, it remains to be seen how much time Hero will miss, but Miami looks to get back into the win column Friday night against the Magic.
