Miami Heat star Tyler Herro might be out of the playoffs, but he's still making a difference in the community in South Beach. On Thursday, a Miami building collapsed which has killed one person and likely more. Herro offered a helping hand after by showing up on the scene to offer food and water to the first responders.

As you can see, Tyler Herro arrived with Heat assistant coach, Chris Quinn. The team apparently called the local police because they wanted to help out. First responders are currently doing their best to find more people who are missing from the horrific collapse but there is a definite fear that more are dead.
Authorities still don't know why the building collapsed in the first place especially since it was only built in 1981. Tyler Herro just finished up his second season with the Heat after an impressive rookie campaign which saw him help Miami make a miraculous run to the NBA Finals. Year two saw Herro average 15.1 points and five rebounds per game while shooting 36% from downtown.
It's definitely good to see Tyler Herro doing his part when tragedy hits his city. While being a great player is one thing, having your hand in the community is also very important. You love to see it.
