Miami Heat All-Star center Bam Adebayo will not face any discipline from the NBA after a physical skirmish with former teammate Tyler Herro, a league spokesman told multiple outlets on Thursday.
Adebayo confronted Herro regarding critical comments that the guard allegedly had made on social media concerning the value of the Heat team captain. Adebayo found Herro on a practice court Friday at the Resorts World Hotel in Las Vegas, with an AAU team that Herro runs.
According to reports, after Herro responded verbally, Adebayo struck Herro near his chin. Herro, now a member of the Milwaukee Bucks, was then restrained and the confrontation did not escalate.
Statement from the NBA
“After discussing with the players involved and the NBPA, everyone would prefer to move on from this unfortunate circumstance, and no further action will be taken by the league,” the NBA spokesperson said in a statement.
Herro told ESPN last week that he wants to “move on” from the encounter. “Honestly, I’m just trying to move past all of it,” Herro said. “I’m focused on Milwaukee and building something special.
