The first couple of games of the NBA playoffs have been nothing short of surprising. Multiple underdog teams got the best of their higher-seeded opponents and swung the momentum in their favor. One of those teams is the eighth-seeded Miami Heat. However, will the Heat be able to keep the momentum in their favor after Shaquille O’Neal’s prediction on the injury suffered by Tyler Herro?

The Miami Heat defeated the number-one seed in the Eastern Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks with ease. The game ended with a final score of 130-117, as the Heat seemingly had no problems closing out the game. Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game in the first quarter and Miami took full advantage of the unfortunate injury to the Greek Freak.

One reason the Miami Heat got the best of the Milwaukee Bucks was due to the injury to their star player. Giannis Antetokounmpo took a scary fall in the first quarter of the game as he drove to the rim.

Heat forward Kevin Love tried to take a charge but caused Giannis to take a scary fall in the process. The ‘Greek Freak’ was escorted to the locker room after that and did not return for the remainder of the game.

It wasn’t just Antetokounmpo who suffered an injury, but Heat’s sharpshooter Tyler Herro too, ended up breaking his hand. The Inside The NBA team talked about the hustle play that led to Herro’s injury.

Ernie Johnson brought up the injury as he said, “Tyler Herro, making a hustle play for that loose ball. Breaks two fingers in his right hand.” That immediately prompted a reaction from Kenny ‘The Jet’ Smith as he gasped, “Oh my god”.

That wasn’t all, as Dr. Shaquille O’Neal gave his verdict on the amount of time it will take Herro to come back onto the court. The Los Angeles Lakers legend said, “Out for four to six weeks Ernie. That’s because I’m a doctor”.

How will the Miami Heat keep the pressure on the Bucks?

Both the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks sustained injuries to their key players. However, Bucks fans can breathe a sigh of relief as x-rays came back for Antetokounmpo that gave him the all-clear for game 2.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for Tyler Herro, as he may certainly not be returning for game 2 with a broken right hand. Though Heat guard Max Struss has really kicked it up a notch with his shooting, the Heat will surely miss Herro’s efficiency from beyond the arc and his ability to create shots for himself.
