Tyler Herro wants to 'move on' from Bam Adebayo altercation - ESPN

Bucks guard Tyler Herro said he wants to «move on» from his physical altercation with former teammate Bam Adebayo last week in Las Vegas and is «focused on the next chapter in Milwaukee.»

«Honestly, I'm just trying to move past all of it,» Herro told ESPN. «I'm focused on Milwaukee and building something special. They obviously just traded the greatest player in their history, so we want to come in and help continue what they've been doing.»

Herro added that if he had to play anywhere other than the Miami Heat, where he was named Sixth Man of the Year in 2022 and an All-Star during the 2024-25 season, it would be his hometown team in Milwaukee.

«I'm ready to come home and not prove everyone wrong,» he said, «but just be able to represent the city and the state because I wanted to do that coming out of school as well.»

Herro's comments came a few days after ESPN's Shams Charania reported that he was involved in a physical altercation with Adebayo at the Resorts World Hotel in Las Vegas on July 10.

It started when Adebayo approached Herro shortly after 9 a.m. PT Friday morning. Adebayo and the Heat had come to train on the same court Herro had worked out on earlier in the morning and stayed for a practice with his AAU team.
