Celtics injury update: Miami Heat’s Tyler Herro to sit Game 4 vs. Boston with groin injury

The Miami Heat will be squaring off with the Boston Celtics down at least one key player, with the team announcing that it will sit guard Tyler Herro for Game 4 against the Celtics in their Eastern Conference finals series with Boston on Monday.

Herro sustained what is being described as a groin injury in the second half of Game 3 on Saturday, and exited the game early. With five other teammates listed on the injury report as questionable apart from the Heat guard, health for Miami has become a critical element to watch. Jimmy Butler, in particular, also exited Game 3 with knee inflammation but is expected to play in Game 4 per multiple sources.

“This is the time of the year everybody wants to play,” said Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra on Monday of Herro’s absence via USA TODAY’s Jeff Zillgitt.

“But there is also a responsibility to the athlete and their health and we have to be disciplined to that and sometimes these are tough decisions.”
