Miami Heat’s Duncan Robinson More Vital With Tyler Herro Sidelined Indefinitely

Duncan Robinson is still trusted by the Miami Heat to step in for the injured Tyler Herro

Duncan Robinson, a forward with the Miami Heat, made an unusual word choice.

In Friday’s victory over the Detroit Pistons, he had a chance to reach 1,000 career 3-pointers. He had three opportunities, all of which he missed.

He therefore labeled himself a coward.

“What a coward,” exclaimed Robinson, who currently owns the franchise record for most 3-pointers made in his career. “Two chances, three chances to get it.

Robinson ought to hit the mark during today’s rematch with the Pistons. Although Robinson deserves individual recognition, the Heat are expecting more from him. Robinson is the player the Heat are hoping to continue filling in for guard Tyler Herro, who is expected to be out for at least two more weeks.

Robinson has demonstrated in the past that he can step up, but the Heat have been inconsistent over the last ten games without Herro. In the last three games, he has averaging 14.3 points; on Friday, he scored 16, had five assists, and had three steals.

Erik Spoelstra, the coach of the Heat, stated, “He wants to make every shot.” “He is not willing to disappoint the squad. Although it’s impossible to predict if the ball will be in every time, he consistently sets up nice opportunities for our offense. When he’s scheming, acting out of character, and making plays off the dribble. In this league, he is as ignitable as anyone.”
