  • Report: Tyler Herro still experiencing soreness
    Tyler Herro (fractured right hand) is still experiencing soreness and swelling in the right hand according to Ros Gold-Onwude of ESPN.

    Advice: Despite the optimism of Herro returning in any capacity for these NBA Finals, it still seems he may have a ways to go. Ros Gold Onwude reported Monday that she spoke with Herro prior to Game 2 and he said he can still feel soreness when making a "follow through" shooting motion. The hope was for Herro to return by Game 3 however a more cautious approach seems to be what he and the Heat are taking. Game 3 is on Wednesday. NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 1:44 pm
     
  • Shams: Kyrie attempts to recruit LeBron to Dallas
    Kyrie Irving has reached out to LeBron James in an attempt to see if James would come to Dallas, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

    Advice: Just like in his movie, looks like Uncle Drew is trying to get the gang back together for one last hoorah. It's been 6 seasons since Kyrie and LeBron have shared the floor as teammates and their journeys during that span of time have certainly been different. Irving is a free agent this offseason while LeBron is still signed to the Lakers for the 2023-24 season with a player option the following year. LeBron has also vocalized about being unsure if he would come back to play next season as well. This bodes well for Dallas' hopes of re-signing Kyrie as it appears Irving is in it for the long haul if he's trying to recruit players. Time will tell though. NBCSportsEDGE.com Today, 12:05 pm
     
  • Still experiencing soreness
    Herro (hand) is still experiencing soreness and swelling after shooting, Ros Gold-Onwude of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Herro was reportedly pushing to return for Sunday's Game 2 against the Nuggets, but he's still feeling sore while following through his shooting motion. He's been participating in all portions of practice, but he wants to make sure he's fully healthy and won't mess with the rhythm of the team upon his return. Although Herro isn't rushing to return to action, it wouldn't be surprising to see him available at some point during the NBA Finals. Rotowire.com Today, 10:56 am
     
  • Gabe Vincent stunts on Nugs w/ 23 points, 4 threes
    Gabe Vincent finished Sunday’s win over Denver with 23 points, three assists, two steals and four triples.

    Advice: Through two games of the NBA Finals, Miami’s leading scorers are… checks notes … Bam Adebayo and Gabe Vincent. If you laid some money down on Bam and Vincent futures, it’s time to start playing the lottery! Vincent was blisteringly hot in this one, leading his team in the scoring department and stroking it from downtown yet again. The UC Santa Barbara product has 42 points on 15-of-26 shooting, including a mind-melting 9-of-16 from beyond the arc through Games 1-2, and he’ll look to keep up the hot shooting in front of his home crowd when the series shifts to Miami for Game 3 on Wednesday.

  • Ekes out another double-double
    Murray ended Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals with 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 39 minutes.

    Advice: It took awhile for Murray to get going, but he was a key player in the second quarter, collecting eight points, two rebounds, two assists and a steal in the stanza as the Nuggets built a 16-point lead before the Heat began to chip away at the deficit. Although Murray finished as the team's second-highest scorer, the team needs heroic nights from Murray, who has saved the Nuggets with his stellar play beyond the arc throughout the playoffs. Murray often stays on the court when Nikola Jokic takes a seat, and the Nuggets need Murray to step up in those moments. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
     
  • Pours in 23 points
    Vincent had 23 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 victory over Denver in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

    Advice: Vincent's a streaky scorer who can take over a game in the right scenario, and while Sunday's performance was nowhere near his 29-point tour de force against the Celtics two weeks ago, he continued his run of excellent perimeter shooting in the Game 2 win. Over his past six games, Vincent has shot a scintillating 55.2 percent from deep. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 pm
     
  • Haliburton, Mikal Bridges to play for Team USA
    Tyrese Haliburton and Mikal Bridges will play for Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

    Advice: Shortly after reporting that Anthony Edwards, Austin Reaves and Bobby Portis will represent the USA in the FIBA World Cup, Shams Charania updated his list to include Haliburton and Bridges. Haliburton became an All-Star for the first time this season and solidified his name as one of the best point guards in the league. Bridges had a solid season for Phoenix, but he took his game to another level after the trade to Brooklyn. There will be more names announced before training camp in August, but this is a quality roster so far, even if it isn't as star-studded as it has been in the past.

  • Tyler Herro (hand) officially out for Game 2
    Tyler Herro has been officially ruled out of Sunday's Game 2 against the Nuggets.

    Advice: There was optimism Herro might make his return Sunday for Game 2, but barring a miraculous last-second upgrade, his earliest return will be Game 3 on Wednesday back at home. Miami is surely hoping the series is knotted up at a game apiece by that time. NBCSportsEDGE.com Saturday, 10:51 pm
     
  • Unavailable for Game 2
    Herro (hand) is listed as out Sunday for Game 2 of the Heat's NBA Finals series with the Nuggets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: Though Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that Herro was pushing for a return to action for Game 2, the fourth-year guard will be held out at least one more contest as he continues to recover from April 21 right hand surgery. Though a return for Game 2 remains unlikely, the Heat could still upgrade Herro's status prior to Sunday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:43 pm
