Former Kentucky stars Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, who spent the past 7 seasons as teammates on the Miami Heat before Herro was traded a few weeks ago, got into a physical altercation at a Las Vegas hotel on Friday morning, according to a report by ESPN insider Shams Charania.
Charania reported that Adebayo struck Herro in the face area at a practice basketball court at the hotel in Las Vegas. The NBA veterans, who didn’t play together at Kentucky but were united by their Wildcat ties before embarking on a long run as NBA teammates, were in town supporting their teams at the annual Las Vegas Summer League.
Adebayo, who played at Kentucky during the 2016-17 season, has been a member of the Heat since being drafted by Miami in 2017. Herro played his 1 season at Kentucky in 2018-19 before the Heat drafted him in 2019. The big man and shooting guard formed a star pairing in Miami before Herro was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks a few weeks ago as part of the blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo trade.
The Heat and Bucks happened to be playing each other on Friday at the summer league, which brought Adebayo and Herro back to close proximity of each other with Adebayo supporting the Heat’s summer league edition while Herro supported the Bucks’ edition.
