The NBA has dropped its investigation into the fight between former Miami Heat teammates Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro in Las Vegas.
Adebayo struck Herro after the two got into a heated face-to-face confrontation in Sin City following Herro’s trade to the Milwaukee Bucks in the move that saw Giannis Antetokounmpo move to Miami.
Multiple reports have revealed that Adebayo called Herro out on critical comments he is alleged to have made on social media about Adebayo following his departure after seven years together.
Herro this week had said that he wanted to move on from the incident and after the NBA spoke to both parties, they decided that their probe into the matter will be dropped.
‘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 spokesperson said.

Herro was traded to the Bucks earlier this month in the deal that brought Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat, where he’ll play alongside Adebayo, the Heat captain.
Speaking earlier this week, Herro said to ESPN: ‘Honestly, I’m just trying to move past all of it.
‘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.’
Nobody from the Bucks or the Heat have responded to Thursday’s developments.
