Heading into the 2024 NBA offseason, Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro was the talk of the town — as he typically had been every offseason since the Heat chose him with the 13th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft.

But this time, the rumors were louder than usual. The 24-year-old was coming off an injury-plagued season during which he appeared in only 42 games. On top of that, he listed his 9,505-square-foot home in Pinecrest for sale for $13 million two days after the team's blowout loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs.

But summer came and went, and Herro survived another offseason as a member of the Miami Heat.

And, now nearly a month into his fifth year in the league, Herro is absolutely tearing it up on the hardwood. If he continues his dominant play, he's headed for career highs in scoring average, assists, shooting percentage, and three-point shooting. Given his recent play, Herro may be thinking he'll be sticking around for the foreseeable future.

Could that be the reason he decided to take his mansion off the market?

Ashley Michelle Velez of P.U.R.E Investments, Inc, who represented Herro when he purchased the home for $10.5 million in December 2022, tells New Times in an email that "the seller has decided to stay and not relocate their family at this time."

"We had multiple offers," she adds.

The home, which was built in 2021, features an elevator, a wine cellar, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a media room, a summer kitchen, and a cabana, among other luxury accoutrements. Herro's purchase set the record for the highest sale in Pinecrest at the time.

It's only been 13 games, but despite the Heat's lackluster 6-7 start to the season, folks are already tossing around Herro's name as a potential All-Star selection.

As he is earning praise around the league, Herro is averaging 24.2 points per game and shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 45.2 percent from three-point land. He is also averaging 4.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game.

Tyler, put away the boxes. You have been marked safe — until next offseason, anyway.
