Tyler Herro Draws Backlash After Calling College Move a 'Business Decision'

Teams and the league have not announced disciplinary action after reports of a physical confrontation with former teammate Bam Adebayo.

Overview

  • Herro was moved from the Miami Heat to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of the offseason trade centered on Giannis Antetokounmpo.
  • In a Summer League interview he said leaving a Wisconsin commitment for Kentucky was “a business decision” that he believes helped put him on the path to the NBA.
  • Some Wisconsin and Badgers fans responded on social media with sharp criticism of Herro’s comment about his college choice.
  • Reports attributed to ESPN’s Shams Charania say Herro was involved in a physical confrontation with Bam Adebayo at a Las Vegas practice and no team or league discipline has been announced.
  • Herro’s move to Milwaukee is his first season away from Miami and his hometown return combines personal narrative, heightened local scrutiny and potential locker-room questions to watch as the Bucks approach training camp.
