Bam Adebayo Physically Attacks Former Miami Heat Teammate Tyler Herro in Las Vegas
A physical altercation occurred between Miami Heat teammates Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro in Las Vegas early Friday morning, according to ESPN journalist Shams Charania. The incident took place at a hotel training facility where Adebayo reportedly approached Herro and struck him. The confrontation stemmed from criticism Herro had directed at Adebayo following their separation as teammates.
Herro was recently traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in a deal that brought Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. Adebayo and Herro had played together on the Heat for seven years, with Adebayo drafted in 2017 and Herro in 2019. They were key players on the team that reached the NBA Finals in the 2020 bubble, ultimately losing to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The trade that ended their partnership occurred five days prior to the incident, involving multiple players and future draft picks. Herro, along with Jaima Haak, Kasper Puokuchonis, and Klal Vor, moved to Milwaukee, while Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis joined Miami. The NBA has not yet commented on the altercation.
