Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro isn't letting social distancing stop him from shooting his shot. On Tuesday, Herro hit up Instagram model and fitness influencer Katya Elise Henry with a simple message:
Henry, who has amassed over seven million followers on Instagram and is also Kyle Kuzma's ex, quickly replied to Herro's advances:
On the court, Herro has made an immediate impact for the fourth-seeded Heat. The No. 13 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft has been one of Miami's most important players coming off the bench this season, even despite an injury that sidelined him for a month.
In 27.2 minutes per game, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard is putting up 12.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game while shooting 41.4 percent from the field and 39.1 percent from deep on over five attempts per game.
The former Kentucky star is a big part of why Miami had been one of the biggest surprises of this NBA season before it was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak. The Heat held a record of 41-24 heading into the hiatus, and they're hoping the season will resume at some point.
