Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro will continue to test his surgically repaired right hand, and a return to the lineup for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Denver Nuggets looms as a possibility, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday.
Herro, who had surgery to fix the third and fourth metacarpal on his right hand on April 21, will continue ramping up his workouts and try to get a sense of how the hand responds to contact before making a decision, sources told ESPN.
If he's unable to return for Game 2 on Sunday (8 p.m. ET, ABC), there's confidence that Herro will be available for Game 3 on Wednesday ( 8:30 p.m.
ET, ABC), sources told ESPN. The Heat visit the Nuggets in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC). Herro suffered the injury during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Milwaukee Bucks on April 16.
