The NBA has decided not to punish Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo for an altercation with former teammate Tyler Herro in Las Vegas. A league spokesperson stated that after discussions with the players and the NBPA, everyone wishes to move past the incident.

Herro himself expressed a desire to "move on" and focus on his new team, the Milwaukee Bucks. The altercation reportedly stemmed from Adebayo confronting Herro over social media comments criticizing Adebayo's performance and salary. The situation escalated physically, with Adebayo striking Herro, though details of the contact vary.

Sources indicated that Adebayo took issue with comments allegedly from Herro's social media account questioning Adebayo's $60 million salary and suggesting he needed more support. Despite a generally good past relationship, Adebayo and Herro had reportedly grown apart recently.

Adebayo, a three-time All-Star, averaged 20.1 points and 10 rebounds last season. Herro, a former Sixth Man of the Year, averaged 20.5 points in 33 games in 2025-26.
