Since Tuesday, Tyler Herro is allowed to train without contact. This is the penultimate step before a possible return to the field during the NBA Finals. On May 28, the day before Game 7 against the Celtics, the rear was in six weeks of recovery, the high range estimated by doctors after his operation. TNT has mentioned a return for Game 3, which will take place early next week, and we will then be seven weeks away.
“We’ll see… I don’t know…” replies Tyler Herro about this possible return to the heart of the final. “I still have a little pain in my hand, but it’s just the tissues healing and things like that. I try to train with it. I would like to come back for the Finals, but we will see with the feelings of my hand. She’s fine, and I feel fine. »
“After our victory in Milwaukee, I felt that we were going to return to the finals”
The time is therefore rather for optimism, even if nothing should be rushed. One thing is certain: Tyler Herro will do his best to play. “I will train every day, two to three times a day from today until the day I hope to return” pursues the back, who accompanies the team to Denver. “So I will continue to give my all, see how my body reacts on a daily basis and I will try to come back as soon as possible”.
Despite the disappointment and frustration born of this injury suffered in the first game of the playoffs, Tyler Herro says he believed it when he saw his teammates beat the Bucks.
“After our victory in Milwaukee, I felt that we were going to return to the finals” he says. “It’s clear that it’s a hell of a course! I’m on the side, I’ve been part of all the trips, I’ve been part of everything that’s happened so far. Just being here with the team is great. Seeing the guys stick together is great. I can’t wait to have the opportunity to play again this season. »
Answer at the beginning of next week, but before that, he will have to be authorized to train with contact.
