We all knew it was bad when Tyler Herr said postgame, “I heard some like crunching and cracks in my ankle.”
Herro said he thought he would be out a couple of weeks and that turns out it will be at least that long, something the Heat announced Thursday.
INJURY UPDATE: Tyler Herro has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 ankle sprain. He will be in a walking boot for 10 days and will be re-evaluated in 2 weeks.

We will have a better idea of his return to play after 2 week re-evaluation.
The average time missed for a Grade 2 sprain is three weeks, according to Jeff Stotts of In Street Clothes.
The injury happened when Herro put up a floater in the lane and landed on the foot of Jaren Jackson Jr., and it wasn’t pretty.

After missing the playoffs with a fractured hand and then hearing his name in trade rumors all summer, Herro came out on a mission this season, averaging 25.3 points per game while shooting 41% from three and adding 5.6 rebounds and five assists a night.
Duncan Robinson started the second half against the Grizzlies with Herro out and likely sees a bigger role until he returns.
