There will be no direct consequences — at least from the league — for Bam Adebayo or Tyler Herro after their altercation outside a Las Vegas casino last week.
“After 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,” a league spokesman confirmed to NBC Sports.
That echoes what Herro told Ramona Shelburne of ESPN: “Honestly, I’m just trying to move past all of it.”
This summer, Miami traded Herro to Milwaukee as part of a package to bring Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat. On his way out the door, Herro allegedly used a secondary Instagram account he controls (not his official one) to send direct messages to a fan disrespecting Adebayo, reportedly including “You should get paid 60 million to be a top tier defender on some nights?”
Last week, outside the Resort World Resort, Adebayo reportedly walked up to Herro, confronted him, and the altercation got physical but was quickly broken up.
The league is officially done with this, although it will be a subplot when Miami and Milwaukee face each other this season.
