Herro returns to Heat roster for Game 7 of Eastern Finals



MIAMI (AP) — Tyler Herro has recovered enough to play for the Miami Heat in Game 7 of Sunday night’s Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics.

Herro has missed the previous three games with a groin injury. He underwent a series of field tests on Sunday before it was determined he could play.

Herro was the sixth NBA Man of the Year award winner this season. He averaged 13.5 points in the playoffs for the Heat on 41% shooting, a considerable drop from his regular season numbers of 20.7 points on nearly 45% shooting.

For the Celtics, Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart and center Robert Williams III were also declared available for Game 7 after initially being listed as questionable for the series finale. Smart suffers a sprained ankle and Williams suffers from ongoing knee pain following surgery.
