"We don't care," Spoelstra said. "So we have enough guys that can step up." Spoelstra was asked whether a play midway through the second quarter, by Celtics guard Payton Pritchard, had anything to do with Butler's injury. "We just had to be responsible and take the decision out of his hands," Spoelstra said. "He really wants to be out there tonight. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said that Herro would be "day-to-day" moving forward.
The Miami Heat will be short-handed, without Tyler Herro and perhaps Jimmy Butler, against the Boston Celtics in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
In fact, it wouldn’t entirely be surprising if the Heat followed suit and elected to sit Jimmy as well. Winning in Boston, specifically in Game 4, was already going to be a tall task for the Heat. Even if they were completely healthy. That means, if the Heat is going to take a 3-1 series lead over Boston, they’re going to have to do it short-handed.
Miami will look to take a 3–1 series lead on Monday night.

What happened to Tyler Herro? The Miami's Heat's 22-year-old guard is sitting out Game 4 – when is he coming back? Details on the 2022 NBA Playoffs.
“The trainers and doctors decided that it would be probably best for me to probably just sit this one out tonight.” In the brief interview, Tyler expressed his hope to be back on the court by Game 5. “We just had to be responsible and take the decision out of his hands," Erik told reporters via ABC. "He really wants to be out there tonight.” More Vic minutes is better for us rather than a 30% Tyler Herro!!" Erik Spoelstra confirmed that Tyler had strained his left groin during the third quarter of Game 3. Despite being new to the league, his stats speak for themselves.
Herro suffered a groin injury in Game 3 on Saturday night.
The Celtics were without Al Horford (health and safety protocols) and Marcus Smart (foot sprain) in Game 1, Derrick White (birth of his child) in Game 2 and Robert Williams III (knee) in Game 3. Herro's absence is a significant one as he is one of Miami's few half-court shot-creators. The same is true for Miami's other players listed on the injury report: Kyle Lowry, Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and P.J. Tucker.

Victor Oladipo could also play a key role in Game 4. He scored eight points on 4-of-15 shooting in Game 3. That win put Miami up 2-1 in the series.
Tyler Herro hasn't even missed Heat-Celtics Game 4 yet tonight, but he's already stating a credible-sounding intent to play Game 5 Wednesday.

As seen in Game 4, Miami desperately needs a push to close out the series. Herro would be a huge boost to the Heat’s offensive productivity in Game 5. If it were up to Herro, he’d be in the rotation for Wednesday night.
