Will Manso: Much needed bounce back for Heat in Brooklyn as they beat the Nets 106-97. Tyler Herro continues all-star season with 25 points. Much more Bam-like game with 17 points and 16 rebounds. Miami back to .500 at 22-22. Now back home Monday vs Orlando and return of Jimmy Butler (?).

The Heat lead the Nets 24-17 after one quarter. Brooklyn is 6/21 (29%) from the field and 1/9 (11%) from three.
Maybe Vince Carter can check in. He looked fairly spry hopping up to the interview podium. – 6:37 PM

I’m not sure if this is a Vince Carter press conference or a Jason Kidd press conference. He’s been the focus of numerous answers.
It’s just another illustration of the immeasurable impact Kidd had on Carter and so many other teammates during his career. – 3:51 PM

Tyler Herro, asked about the Jimmy Butler saga, said: “We all know everything that’s going on. Not much to talk about.” What’s it like bouncing between different styles of play, depending on whether Butler is available? “What do you think?” Herro said. “It’s probably not the easiest to work with someone who’s in and out in any job.” But Herro quickly added: “We love Jimmy. We love for him to be here. I love Jimmy.” Has the situation been disruptive? “I don’t think disruptive is the word,” Duncan Robinson said. “It is what it is at this point.” -via Miami Herald / January 23, 2025
Anthony Chiang: The Heat is listing Tyler Herro as probable for tomorrow’s game in Milwaukee after he missed his first game of the season yesterday with groin tightness. Josh Richardson (heel) and Dru Smith (Achilles) are out. Isaiah Stevens (G League) and Keshad Johnson (shoulder) are questionable. -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / January 22, 2025
