Injury Updates: Heat's Jovic and Herro Miss Games

During the Miami Heat's game against the Toronto Raptors, both Nikola Jovic and Tyler Herro faced significant injury setbacks. Nikola Jovic exited the game with a right elbow injury after a fall while attempting a dunk, leading to him leaving the court in an arm brace without recording any stats.

This injury is particularly unfortunate for Jovic, who has already dealt with various injuries throughout his career, including missing most of his rookie season due to a lower back injury and breaking his hand last season.

Meanwhile, Tyler Herro was a late scratch due to a toe injury, marking his 20th missed game of the season. Herro had previously missed 17 games while recovering from offseason ankle surgery and had only played six games this season, averaging 23.2 points and shooting over 50% from the floor.

His absence is felt as the Heat struggle with consistency, evidenced by their fifth consecutive loss to the Raptors, who won 106-96. The Heat's shooting woes continued, with the team shooting just 42.2% from the field, while the Raptors capitalized with a strong fourth quarter performance.

With both players sidelined, the Heat will need to reassess their strategies moving forward as they aim to break their losing streak in upcoming games.
