More details have emerged about Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo striking former teammate Tyler Herro during a physical altercation on Friday in Las Vegas.
According to The Athletic, witness said Adebayo "punched" Herro during the exchange. Per ESPN's Shams Charania, Adebayo struck Herro in the "face area." So, per those two accounts, Adebayo apparently punched Herro in the face.

More from The Athletic: "The incident took place at a gym inside the Resorts World Casino in front of an AAU team run by Herro. According to multiple sources who witnessed the incident and who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, Adebayo walked onto the courts and Herro said something to him. Adebayo approached Herro and, without hesitation, punched him. Herro’s AAU coach confronted Adebayo, and Herro yelled at his former teammate while being escorted out by security personnel. Both players left the scene on their own."
The altercation apparently stemmed from Herro allegedly making critical comments about Adebayo in an Instagram direct message exchange.
That's rough for the former Heat teammates. If Adebayo really punched Herro in the face, he could absolutely face an NBA suspension.
He apparently criticized his former teammate's defense among other comments.
They say that they are aware of what's happening but declined to comment further.
We do not know at this time.
Again, we do not know at this exact time what the fallout may be.
