Tyler Herro was traded (via the Miami Heat) to the Milwaukee Bucks earlier this month.
The former Kentucky star had spent all seven seasons of his career with the Heat.
He is coming off a year where he had averages of 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per contest while shooting 48.0% from the field and 37.8% from three-point range in 33 games.
The Heat wrote (on July 6): “OFFICIAL: The Miami HEAT have acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis Jr. from Milwaukee in exchange for Tyler Herro, Kasparas Jakučionis, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, three 1st round picks (2026, 2031 & 2033), a 2030 1st round pick swap and a 2033 2nd round pick.”

That said, he is now changing numbers.
The Bucks wrote (via Instagram): “Number 11, Tyler Herro.”
Their post had over 19,000 likes in two hours.
Ben Simmons, Kendrick Nunn, Udonis Haslem and Nick Richards were among the people to like their post.

Herro was the 13th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft after one season of college basketball.
He helped the Heat make the NBA Finals as a rookie (and made the 2025 All-Star Game).
