Apparently, Adebayo wasn't very pleased with the Instagram comments Herro made about his former teammate on his way out the door. He was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in the Giannis Antetokounmpo deal.
Herro made disparaging comments toward Adebayo last week from his alternate Instagram account, which led to the altercation:

Chris Haynes reports that the Heat are aware of the incident.
The two players' seven-year run in South Beach together came to an end when Herro was included in the package along with several others, that Miami sent to Milwaukee in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade.
Herro, 6'5", 195 lbs, averaged 20.5 points per game, 4.8 boards and 4.1 assists this past season for Miami, while the 6'9", 255 lb Adebayo's season was highlighted by an otherworldly 83-point night, on the way to 20.1 ppg and 10.0 rebounds.
