Michael Beasley is urging everyone to calm down about the heated altercation between Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro in Las Vegas.
The former NBA player says teammates fighting is nothing new.
TMZ Sports caught up with the former No. 2 overall pick at LAX on Monday, asking about the biggest story in the NBA.
“Brothers wrastle all the time. Sometimes it goes too far,” Beasley said.
When asked if throwing punches crosses the line, Beasley responded, “Brothers play too rough sometimes. That's all.”
The incident occurred Friday on a basketball court inside Resorts World Casino in Las Vegas.
Adebayo allegedly confronted Herro over disparaging comments the former Heat star made about Bam around the time of the blockbuster trade that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami.
Bam and Tyler were quickly separated, and the situation did not escalate further. Hours later, Herro was asked about the incident and replied, “No comment.”
This is not the first time teammates—or in this case, ex-teammates—have been involved in a high-profile fight.
In 2022, Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole during Warriors practice, an incident that arguably derailed Golden State's season.
Herro and Adebayo are no longer teammates, so that is not a concern. But even if they were, Beasley says it is no big deal.
