An incident set to spark controversy has shaken the NBA environment during the Las Vegas Summer League. According to several reports from U.S. media outlets, former Miami Heat teammates Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro were reportedly involved in a heated altercation that escalated into a physical confrontation inside a hotel in the city.
The news broke while the Miami Heat were taking part in their 119-86 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks.
According to reports from ESPN and The Athletic, the incident allegedly took place on a practice court set up inside Resorts World, a hotel that hosts both the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks during Summer League.
Reports suggest that the confrontation began following comments posted by Tyler Herro on social media, in which the new Bucks player criticized Adebayo’s defensive effort and his lucrative contract. The situation reportedly escalated quickly: Adebayo allegedly pushed Herro before later striking him in the head.
The two players shared the Miami Heat locker room for seven seasons, building a relationship that had always appeared positive publicly. However, according to people close to the franchise, their relationship had reportedly deteriorated in recent months.
At the center of Herro’s frustration was reportedly the handling of the negotiations that brought Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami. The guard allegedly felt disappointed by Adebayo’s lack of public and private support during the talks that eventually led to his departure.
