Heat guard Tyler Herro agrees to a four-year, $130 million
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro has agreed to a four-year, $130 million contract extension, with
the Miami Heat according to a tweet by ESPN senior insider reporter Adrian Wojanaowski
Sunday.
Herro, the 2022 NBA Sixth Man of The Year, was a part of trade talks throughout the NBA
offseason with the speculation of Miami’s involvement in acquiring two-time NBA champion
Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets when the forward was looking to be traded away from
Brooklyn. According to multiple sources, Herro was potentially a piece in multiple possible trade
scenarios for the Heat.
The deal includes $120 million guaranteed with a possible additional $10 million in incentives,
according to ESPN.
Herro was a large part to the Miami Heat’s run late into the 2022 NBA Playoff, which saw a Heat
team take the Boston Celtics to seven games in the Eastern Conference Finals. Coming off of
the bench, he provided an offensive spark for Miami late in games with a consistent offensive
performance until he suffered a lower body injury midway through the ECF.
Herro averaged 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in the 2021-2022 season in 66 games
-- 10 of them with him starting. His scoring average coming off the bench (20.8) was the highest
in the NBA last season.
