Bucks guard Tyler Herro said he wants to put the physical altercation with former teammate Bam Adebayo last week in Las Vegas behind him, Yankee Scores reports.
“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 said 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 days after 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 just after 9 a.m. PT Friday. Herro had worked out on the same court Adebayo and the Heat had come to practice on earlier in the morning and stuck around for a practice with his AAU team.
Sources familiar with the encounter say Adebayo confronted Herro about comments the guard had made, criticizing the center on social media after their seven-year run as teammates in Miami ended when Herro was traded to Milwaukee as part of a blockbuster deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
