Tyler Herro says his reported comments about needing Jimmy Butler before the Miami Heat's Game 3 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday were taken out of context. Herro wrote in a Wednesday post on his Instagram story that he had been asked a question "in the timeframe of Jan-Feb when the 'Jimmy saga' was happening."

Herro had to ascend to No. 1 option after the Jimmy Butler trade and is still figuring it out: "Obviously, I know I need Jimmy to win."

The quote raised eyebrows. That was viewed as a concerning admission that you wouldn't ever expect a player to make, and Herro has now claimed that his words were taken out of context. He posted two stories on Instagram in which he ripped Weiss and expressed his distaste for the reporter.
