ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that Tyler Herro of the Milwaukee Bucks was involved in a physical confrontation with Bam Adebayo, his former teammate. This incident occurred on Friday when the two, previously co-stars with the Miami Heat, encountered each other during their teams’ Summer League matchup.
The altercation reportedly began after Adebayo addressed Herro about comments he had made on social media. Herro had criticized Adebayo for earning $60 million annually through his alleged secondary Instagram account. Charania’s report stated that Adebayo hit Herro “in the face area.”
Thanks for the submission!
NBA insider Chris Haynes also covered the incident during the “NBA on Prime” broadcast from Las Vegas. Herro was seen engaging with fans, and many noticed his swollen eye, which was assumed to be a result of the clash with Adebayo.

Tyler Herro Says “It’s All Love” With the Heat
Despite recent events, Tyler Herro maintains his affection for the Miami Heat. In a conversation with league insider Chris Haynes on Friday, Herro expressed his admiration and gratitude for the team, the coaching staff, and some of his former teammates.
“It’s all love in Miami. I’ve seen a couple of the guys, coaching staff. Chris Quinn, Spo. We’re all good in Miami and an opportunity for both sides to reset and get a fresh start. We’re both super happy for this,” Herro said.
In a clip shared on X, Herro did not mention Bam Adebayo, with whom he shared seven seasons as key figures for the Miami Heat. Together, they played a significant role in helping the team reach the 2020 NBA Finals alongside Jimmy Butler. However, their recent lack of success led to Herro’s trade this offseason.
