What Happens In Vegas On A Practice Court Doesn’t Stay On The Practice Court
Former Miami Heat teammates, Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, got into a physical altercation with each other at a practice court at a Las Vegas hotel on Friday. According to Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania, Adebayo approached Herro about comments he made online “critiquing Bam after Herro was traded from Miami to Milwaukee.”
“That’s when they got into a confrontation, a back and forth, that culminated in Bam Adebayo striking Tyler Herro,” Charania said.
Fans took to the comments to talk about the altercation, much of which were jokes about the situation.
“Giannis punching the air rn,” one person joked. Another added, “I heard he hit him with an 83 piece combo.” Others shared, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,” “They said A’ja jumped in and left him with the Nike A’Two print on his face,” “The NBA off season is its own series,” “I’ve never wanted footage of anything so badly,” “Tyler Herro got a punchable face so I understand,” and many other hilarious comments.
One person added, “Seen Herro at Summer League. He looked unbothered. He won.” Herro did in fact pull up to Summer League hours after the altercation and it’s been reported that he had no comment on the situation.
