After seven years, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo will no longer be teammates on the Miami Heat.
Judging by the latest reports, they might not even be friends, as they reportedly got into a physical altercation on Friday night in Las Vegas.
Following the altercation, though, the new Milwaukee Bucks guard claimed it was "all love."
"It's all love in Miami. I've seen a couple of the guys, coaching staff. Chris Quinn, Spo. We're all good in Miami and an opportunity for both sides to reset and get a fresh start. We're both super happy for this," Herro said.

Of course, NBA players, like all athletes, often share P.R.-trained responses, so people should always take this with a grain of salt.
Then again, this is an odd situation. While it's not unusual for teammates and co-workers to have differences and run-ins, Herro and Adebayo used to be extremely close.
Adebayo even once said that Herro would be the first teammate to help him in a fight because they had such a long relationship.
The Heat's first matchup with the Bucks was already going to be must-watch television, although mostly for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now, there will be even more reasons to tune in.
