Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro were involved in a physical altercation in Las Vegas, during which Adebayo reportedly struck Herro, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
The altercation took place at a practice court inside a Las Vegas hotel on Friday morning. The confrontation began when Adebayo approached Herro over previous and viral social media comments the guard made criticizing the center.
In his follow-up report during ESPN’s coverage of the 2026 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Charania dropped further information on what happened.
Both players went back and forth, prompting the Heat big man to punch his former teammate.
“Sources tell me that Bam Adebayo struck Tyler Herro in the face area as they we’re walking off the practice court at a Las Vegas hotel,” Charania said. “This happened when Bam approached Herro about comments Herro made on social media critiquing Bam after Herro was traded from Miami to Milwaukee over the last couple of weeks.”

Following his trade to the Milwaukee Bucks, Tyler Herro engaged in a lengthy private direct-message conversation on Instagram with a Miami Heat fan. What began as a pure basketball discussion eventually took a negative turn, with the star guard questioning his longtime Heat teammate.
During the exchange, Herro openly mocked Bam Adebayo’s contract value and claimed opposing teams feared him more than Adebayo during the NBA playoffs.
