Especially in a game where Herro was missed and the drama continued with Heat forward Jimmy Butler, the team went cold against Portland leading to a disappointing loss. The Heat's captain Bam Adebayo downplayed their offense being lost without Herro and accredited it to missing shots, though he acknowledges how crucial Herro is to their team.

As expected, the Miami Heat did not have a player voted into the 2025 NBA All-Star Game as a starter. New York’s Jalen Brunson and Cleveland’s Donovan Mitchell are the two Eastern Conference guards who were voted in as starters,

While hope of making his first All-Star Game as a starter likely will be extinguished Thursday night for Tyler Herro, when the results of that combined fan-media-player votes are announced on TNT, there could not have been a better advertisement for the candidacy of the Heat guard as reserve selection than Tuesday night’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers at Kaseya Center.
