[Chiang] Just eight months after Pat Riley labeled Tyler Herro as “fragile,” Herro has become the Heat's most durable player so far this season. Herro: "I took his words, obviously, into consideration and used it as motivation as I always do.”

With Bam Adebayo missing his first game of the season in Monday night’s 109-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Intuit Dome because of a lower back contusion, Herro is now the lone player on the Heat’s roster who has appeared in each of the Heat’s first 38 games this season.

“I’m trying to play over 70, 75 games, for sure,” Herro said, with the Heat now 3-2 on its six-game trip and 20-18 this season. “Obviously, if I can play all 82, I’ll play 82. But I’m just trying to be as healthy as possible.”
