At this point, the Miami Heat need all the help they can get.
And they might get a big boost on Monday night that could keep their Finals hopes alive.
It is being reported that Tyler Herro could make his return on Monday night for Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Herro has missed multiple weeks of games but his status has been upgraded to “questionable” ahead of Monday’s night crucial game.

Just the other day, Herro was one of the few players who didn’t speak to the media.
This was a sign that he was still injured and not ready to return to the game.
But head coach Erik Spoelstra noted that Herro was doing contact workouts and was getting closer to being able to suit up.
Herro’s return could definitely help the Heat, although it might not be enough to get them out of the 1-3 hole they have fallen into.
He has been out of the rotation since hurting his hand in the first game of the playoffs.
At the time, the Heat said that Herro could be healed in about six weeks, although many people didn’t think the team would still be playing at that time.
But as everyone knows, the Heat have repeatedly beaten expectations and have fought all the way to the Finals.
Unfortunately, Herro could be coming back when the team’s chances have never been lower.
His brand of shooting could help them space the floor better and provide the team with more assistance off the bench.
It could prove to be the difference between going home for good on Monday night and staying in the series for at least another game.
