Miami Heat captain Bam Adebayo reportedly got into a physical altercation with former teammate Tyler Herro in which Adebayo allegedly struck Herro.
According to ESPN, the incident took place at a practice court on Friday, July 10 in Las Vegas — the site of the NBA's Summer League showcase — when Adebayo approached Herro about a critical social media post Herro recently made. Per the report, Adebayo struck Herro near the face.
A spokesperson for the Heat told USA TODAY Sports in a text message that the franchise is aware of the matter but is not commenting further.
Later Friday, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel spoke to Herro, who told the outlet: "My only comment is no comment."
Herro was part of the June 23 trade package that shipped Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat. Miami also received Bobby Portis and sent Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakučionis, three first-round picks, a second-round selection and a pick swap to the Milwaukee Bucks.
