Herro defeated Golden State's Buddy Hield in the final round of Saturday's Starry 3-Point Contest, winning for the first time in his career and dethroning Damian Lillard. Herro had a challenging path to winning the 3-Point Contest on Saturday in San Francisco, as he had to square off against some of the best three-point shooters in the league, from two-time 3-Point Contest champion Damian Lillard to Buddy Hield, Cameron Johnson, Norman Powell, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham and Darius Garland. However, the Heat star was red-hot in this contest, putting up 24 points in the final round and ultimately outlasting Hield, who had homecourt advantage, and Garland. The Kentucky product will now play in his first All-Star Game on Sunday before getting back to work with Miami. He's having arguably the best year of his career, averaging career-high numbers in points (23.9), rebounds (5.5) and assists (5.5) while shooting 38 percent from beyond the arc.

Latest Heat News
Tyler Herro : Crowned 3-Point Champ
Herro defeated Golden State's Buddy Hield in the final round of Saturday's Starry 3-Point Contest, winning for the first time in his career and dethroning Damian Lillard. Herro had a challenging path to winning the 3-Point Contest on Saturday in San Francisco, as he had to square off against some of the best three-point shooters in the league, from two-time 3-Point Contest champion Damian Lillard to Buddy Hield, Cameron Johnson, Norman Powell, Jalen Brunson, Cade Cunningham and Darius Garland. However, the Heat star was red-hot in this contest, putting up 24 points in the final round and ultimately outlasting Hield, who had homecourt advantage, and Garland. The Kentucky product will now play in his first All-Star Game on Sunday before getting back to work with Miami. He's having arguably the best year of his career, averaging career-high numbers in points (23.9), rebounds (5.5) and assists (5.5) while shooting 38 percent from beyond the arc.
Kel'el Ware : Nears double-double in loss
Ware recorded 17 points (8-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to Dallas. Ware came one rebound shy of recording his seventh double-double of the season in an efficient outing. The rookie also scored in double figures for just the 11th time. The 20-year-old has started in 12 consecutive contests, averaging 11.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks across 30.1 minutes per game.
Keshad Johnson : Recalled Thursday
The Heat recalled Johnson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Thursday. Johnson will rejoin the parent club, though it is unclear whether he'll stick around for its first game back after the All-Star break against Toronto on Feb. 21. The 23-year-old has received little playing time in the NBA of late. However, he is averaging 18.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks across 35.6 minutes per game in 22 G League outings.
Kyle Anderson : Double-double in Thursday’s start
Anderson amassed 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to Dallas. With Bam Adebayo (knee) and Andrew Wiggins (illness) getting an early start on their All-Star breaks, Anderson slid into the starting five for Miami and delivered his first double-double of the season. The veteran forward was making just his second appearance for the Heat after being sent east from Golden State as part of the Jimmy Butler deal, and it's not clear if Anderson will have a consistent role in the frontcourt rotation when the team is at full strength.
Tyler Herro : Ties season scoring high
Herro recorded a game-high 40 points (15-30 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to the Mavericks. The 25-year-old guard didn't get enough help to push a shorthanded Miami squad into the win column -- only three other Heat players even scored in double digits, led by Kel'el Ware's 17 -- but Herro still tied his season scoring high in a heroic solo effort. He's produced at least 30 points in three of his last eight appearances, averaging 23.1 points, 7.1 assists, 5.8 boards, 2.8 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch.
Kyle Anderson : Starting sans Adebayo
Anderson will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's game against Dallas. The veteran forward will get the starting nod with Bam Adebayo (knee) sidelined. Anderson made his Heat debut in Monday's loss to the Celtics, during which he posted zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds over 10 minutes.
Jaime Jaquez : Getting chance with starters
Jaquez is starting Thursday's game against the Mavericks. Jaquez will step into the starting rotation following the update that Bam Adebayo (knee) is sitting Thursday. Jaquez's last start dates back to Jan. 15 against the Lakers. He's averaging 14.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.8 steals in his last six chances as a starter.
Nikola Jovic : Available Thursday
Jovic (knee) is listed as available for Thursday's game against the Mavericks. Jovic will shake off a probable tag due to a left knee contusion and suit up Thursday. Over his last five outings, the third-year forward has averaged 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.8 three-pointers across 32.2 minutes per contest.
