Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Tyler Herro's injury: “We’re taking it one day at a time. I know that may sound like a cliché. He did practices with the group, and he’s gonna do a full contact practice after this. We’ll evaluate that, we’ll meet with the training staff later on today, and we’ll continue this process. He hasn’t been clears yet, so that’s where we are. But we’re encouraged by the work he’s been doing.”
