The NBA will not punish Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo for punching former teammate Tyler Herro<\/a> at a Las Vegas hotel and gym last week, a league spokesperson told The Athletic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter discussing with the players involved and the NBPA, everyone would prefer to move on from this unfortunate circumstance, and no further action will be taken by the league,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Bucks, the Heat and the NBPA declined to comment.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Herro\u2019s AAU team was practicing inside Resorts World Las Vegas hotel. Herro appeared to yell something at Adebayo, who made his way toward Herro and then threw a punch. Players and coaches quickly broke up the altercation, and Adebayo made his way out of the hotel.<\/p>\n

\n The NBA has a burner account problem. Bam Adebayo vs. Tyler Herro is proof\n <\/div>\n
\n Friday’s altercation in Las Vegas wasn’t the first time athletes have clashed away from competition over feelings of disrespect.\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Adebayo and Herro were teammates for seven years in Miami before Herro was traded to Milwaukee as part of the package of players and picks the Bucks received to move two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n

Following the trade, a fan leaked a series of screenshots of direct messages<\/a> that appeared to come from an Instagram account connected to Herro. In those alleged direct messages, Herro appeared to question Adebayo\u2019s game and whether he was worthy of the contracts he has signed with the Heat.<\/p>\n
