Tyler Herro, a guard for the Miami Heat, has a visible scar above his ear and on the left side of his head, which has changed since he changed his appearance. Herro recently told the media where his scar came from and how old he was when it happened.
The 24-year-old first acknowledged that he was a spring chicken at the time of his scar.
Herro said, “When I was little, I cracked my head open.”
It’s interesting to note that Herro claims he received the scar while playing football indoors with some of his friends.
Herro remarked, “It was playing football in my house.” “I was with my pals.”
Herro struck his head on a door after diving to the ground for the ball.
Herro recalled, “I dove for a football that someone threw toward the ground.” “And I cracked my head open on the door, which was open.”
The former standout for the University of Kentucky claimed that the accident occurred when he was only five years old.
Herro stated, “I was five years old.” “I had about eight stitches in that spot.”
In a different indoor football game, he reportedly struck his head on a corner once more.
“Exactly the same thing,” he said. “That time, I struck my head on a corner.”
So far this season, Herro has likely been the Heat’s best offensive player. He leads the club in assists (5.1) and points (23.6) per game. In addition, he is hitting 41.3 percent from three-point range and 46.5 percent from the field.
Herro has played a key role in both of Miami’s wins during the Heat’s recent two-game winning run. Over the team’s last two games, he has scored 50 points, including 23 in the Heat’s most recent victory over the Toronto Raptors on November 29.
Aside from his offensive play, Herro’s availability has been another encouraging aspect of his sixth season in Miami. Although he only appeared in 42 of the Heat’s 82 games during the 2023–24 regular season, he hasn’t missed a Miami game this season.
When Miami plays the Raptors again on Sunday night, Herro can make it three straight games that he has scored 20 points or more for the Heat. The only Eastern Conference teams with poorer records than Toronto are the Philadelphia 76ers and the Washington Wizards. With a win over the struggling Raptors, Miami can also raise their record to 10-8 on the season.
