Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat have agreed on a four-year, $130 million contract extension!
The NBA Sixth Man of the Year is getting $120 million guaranteed! Tyler has been key to the Heat’s success since being selected 13th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft.
Heat star Jimmy Butler praised the 22-year-old.
“We trust in him a lot,” Butler said of Herro. “Obviously he has the ball a lot of the time, and obviously when someone does have the ball that much, you trust in them to take the right shots, which he does, and get everybody involved, which he does. But he’s grown since he came into the league. He’s going to continue to do that.”
Herro is now the sixth first-round player from the draft class to agree on a rookie extension, following Zion Williamson, Ja Morant, and RJ Barrett.
