Tyler Herro Chasing Heat History from Beyond the Arc

Tyler Herro is entering the 2025-26 season with a unique milestone within reach: becoming the Miami Heat’s all-time leader in three-pointers made. Herro currently sits second on the franchise’s leaderboard with 984 career threes, trailing only Duncan Robinson’s 1,202. That gap of just over 200 makes the record attainable, provided Herro can maintain his usual shooting volume. For a player known for his offensive versatility and long-range confidence, this goal could be both a personal achievement and a highlight for the Heat’s season. Given his current status as one of the team’s star players, this milestone is certainly not out of reach for the young all-star.

Herro has already demonstrated the ability to hit such numbers in a single campaign. During his peak seasons, he has made more than 200 three-pointers while serving as one of Miami’s primary scoring options. His combination of off-the-dribble shooting, catch-and-shoot efficiency, and willingness to fire from deep makes him one of the league’s most dangerous perimeter threats. If he averages between three and four made threes per game, surpassing Robinson’s mark before the season ends is a realistic possibility.

However, health remains the biggest question mark. Herro recently underwent surgery on his left ankle and will miss the start of the season, creating uncertainty around how many games he will be able to play. Missing extended time would cut into his total opportunities and place pressure on him to be highly productive once he returns. Still, if he can appear in 60 to 70 games, the math suggests he could still clear the record, though the margin for error is slimmer.

For the Heat, Herro’s chase of this milestone adds an intriguing subplot to their campaign. Miami has built a reputation on defense and toughness, but Herro’s shooting represents the modern NBA’s emphasis on perimeter scoring. Becoming the franchise leader in threes would further cement his place in Heat history and validate the team’s investment in him as a core piece. Fans will watch closely as Herro climbs the leaderboard, each made shot inching him closer to the top. If health and opportunity align, the 2025-26 season could see Tyler Herro standing alone as Miami’s greatest long-range shooter.
