Heat star Tyler Herro's brother, Myles Herro, involved in shoving match after high school playoff game
Myles Herro, the younger brother of Miami Heat star Tyler Herro, was involved in a melee after his Whitnall basketball team lost 56-49 in a sectional semifinal game in the Wisconsin state playoffs.
In the postgame handshake line, the younger Herro had a heated exchange with an opponent.
Videos circulated on social media showing Herro shoving the other player, who raised his hands in apparent disbelief while Herro seemed to jaw at him.
At least one other player from the opposing team appeared to push Herro shortly before his Whitnall teammates, coaches and others intervened.
Herro is listed by 247 Sports as a three-star recruit. Despite Thursday's defeat, Herro recorded his 1,000-point. The star guard averaged 21.5 points and 4.7 assists per game this season.
Herro is believed to have drawn interest from multiple college programs.
Tyler was named to his first NBA All-Star team earlier this year, and he was the league's Sixth Man of the Year in 2022.
He's spent his entire professional career with the Heat and is averaging 23.8 points and 5.7 assists in 63 games this season. Miami entered Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies ninth in the Eastern Conference standings.
Herro's other brother, Austin, played his freshman year at South Carolina.

Badgers Battling SEC for 3-Star Safety Jowell Combay
Badgers Battling SEC for 3-Star Safety Jowell Combay originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Wisconsin football team has been making a concerted effort lately to add to its secondary. The Badgers already have a commitment from 3-star cornerback Carsen Eloms and are trending to earn a commitment from Texas native Zachary Taylor, but they are looking to add more. Advertisement One of the prospects the Badgers are eyeing is 3-star safety Jowell Combay, a safety out of Kell High School in Marietta, Georgia. According to Nick Osen, a Badgers beat writer for 247Sports, the 6'1" safety will be in Madison June 12-14 on an official visit with the Wisconsin football team. Recently, Combay released his final five teams and a commitment date of July 9th. The Badgers made the final cut along with four SEC teams: Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Missouri. According to the 247Sports recruiting database, Combay is a 3-star prospect and holds offers from over 30 Division I teams, including offers from the previously mentioned top five, as well as teams like Alabama, Arizona State, Auburn, Florida, among many more. Advertisement Currently, there are no Crystal Ball predictions on 247Sports for the Georgia safety, but the On3 prediction machine gives Tennessee a 28% chance to land Jombay. Wisconsin is fourth at 13.2% behind the Volunteers, South Carolina (18.5%), and Missouri (15.9%). The 247Sports Composite has Combay listed as the 605th-overall prospect in the country and the 47th safety in the 2026 class.

Badgers Trending for 3-Star DB Zachary Taylor
Badgers Trending for 3-Star DB Zachary Taylor originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Wisconsin football team is looking to regain some momentum on the recruiting trail. They earned five commitments over their first official visit weekend, but have been searching for No. 6 for over a week. Advertisement Zachary Taylor, a defensive back out of Jordan High School in Fulshear, Texas, could be the next commitment for Luke Fickell and the Badgers. Evan Flood, a Badgers Insider for 247Sports, logged a Crystal Ball prediction for the Badgers to land the 3-star defensive back after his visit to Madison. Flood added a confidence level of '5' to his prediction, which is considered 'medium' confidence. On 247Sports, Taylor is listed as a cornerback, but he has also played some safety and is seen as a versatile player who could play cornerback or safety at the next level. Gabe Brooks, a scouting analyst for 247Sports, wrote the following scouting report on Taylor. Requisite size for varying secondary roles with elite combine testing data and track speed. Owns some impressive downfield coverage reps that highlight turn-and-run athleticism and ability to stay sticky in the vertical passing game. Experienced in all three phases with limited offensive and return game reps. Shows encouraging tackling, conviction, and production in that category. Knows how to crowd the catch window. Ideally would increase impact playmaking ability in regards to ball production on the stat sheet. Boasts significant snaps at corner and safety and could potentially serve as a chameleon in a college secondary. Projects to the high-major level and could possibly develop into a pro prospect. According to the 247Sports Composite, Taylor is a 3-star player and is the 38th-ranked cornerback and 494th-overall player in the 2026 class. Advertisement The versatile defensive back has over 20 offers from teams like Wisconsin, Houston, Texas Tech, TCU, Minnesota, and more. He is currently slated to visit Pitt (June 12) and Houston (June 19). A Crystal Ball prediction is by no means a lock for the Badgers to get Taylor, but Flood is very well-connected and generally has a good feel for what is going to happen. Adding Taylor would give the Badgers their second defensive back of the class, joining cornerback Carsen Eloms. His commitment would provide the Wisconsin football program its 12th commitment and also boost them from the No. 38 class to No. 33 in 247Sports' national team rankings.

Kevin Durant trade: Ranking the 5 rumored teams by fit
Kevin Durant trade: Ranking the 5 rumored teams by fit "The teams that are mainly featured right now that have interest in Kevin Durant ... the Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs, the Miami Heat the Minnesota Timberwolves and the New York Knicks."@ShamsCharania details the teams interested in trading for KD ✍️ @PatMcAfeeShow — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) June 11, 2025 Welcome to Layup Lines, For the Win's basketball newsletter. Subscribe here to get it delivered to your inbox every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Have feedback for the Layup Lines Crew? Leave your questions, comments and concerns through this brief reader survey. Now, here's Prince J. Grimes. Howdy, folks. There's news on the Kevin Durant front today. The Phoenix Suns and Durant's business partner, Rich Kleiman, are working together to find a trade destination for the four-time scoring champ, ESPN's Shams Charania reported, and the options include five teams that have already expressed interest; the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat and New York Knicks. Though several wild-card suitors have also made recent inquiries, those five teams are the current focus of a potential trade. This isn't much of a surprise to anyone who's been paying attention ever since Durant's name came up in trade talks around the February trade deadline. He's one of the best and biggest names expected to be on the move this summer. This report just makes it all the more real. However, not every destination is created equal and if Durant wants to enjoy more playoff success at his next stop than he did in Phoenix, the fit is going to be especially important. Below is a ranking of how he fits with these five potential destinations, taking into account each team's current title window and roster build. 5. Miami Heat I actually don't hate Durant's fit in Miami next to Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, but it's the worst of these five teams because I think Durant's presence impacts Miami's title chances the least. They'd be maybe a little better than they were with Jimmy Butler -- if that -- which gets them into the playoffs in the East, but not very far. Durant can be any team's closer, but I'm not sure he should be the top player on a contender going into his age-37 season. 4. San Antonio Spurs I understand the allure of putting Durant next to Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox, and the Spurs are smart for looking into a deal. But outside of that trio and Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, how ready is the rest of this roster to compete? That's what Durant would be rolling the dice on if he forces a move to San Antonio, which is looking to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2019. 3. New York Knicks Without knowing who the Knicks would have to give up in a deal for Durant, I think if we're just sliding him into someone like Mikal Bridges' spot, this team becomes a lot more dangerous. New York's defense is never going to be great as long as Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are sharing the floor together, which means they can't suffer through the offensive lulls that popped up all too often this postseason. Durant helps with that. 2. Minnesota Timberwolves Durant probably slides in as an upgrade over Julius Randle -- who was phenomenal down the stretch of last season but disappeared in the conference finals in a way Durant would not. It also helps that Durant and Anthony Edwards already have chemistry together from their time on Team USA, and Durant is maybe the one player Edwards won't mind occasionally deferring to as his childhood idol. 1. Houston Rockets Though Houston's current core of Alperen Sengun (22), Amen Thompson (22), Jalen Green (23) and Reed Sheppard (20) are all under 25, this team has already shown it can compete with the best of the West after finishing second in the conference this past season. They're just looking to take the next step toward contention, and Durant is a turnkey option who immediately improves their perimeter shooting and overall weaknesses on offense. Tom Thibodeau thanks Knicks fans Tom Thibodeau took out a full-page ad in the New York Times on Wednesday to thank the city, Knicks players, coaches and fans for supporting him over his five years as coach of the Knicks. "When I was hired in 2020, I said this was my dream job. I am grateful that dream became a reality," Thibodeau said in the ad. Classy move from Tom Thibodeau to place this ad in today's New York Times. — Frank Isola (@TheFrankIsola) June 11, 2025 His nod of gratitude comes after the Knicks fired him following the team's loss in the Eastern Conference Finals. A little more than a weeks since the move, the team has yet to fill the vacancy after reportedly having three separate requests to speak with coaches of other teams denied. GET YOUR OWN: Knicks need to stop trying to steal a coach The more New York's search for a new coach drags on, the worse the team's decision to part with Thibodeau looks. It's one thing to have someone in mind before firing a coach as successful as Thibodeau. It's another thing to go into the market without a plan, which increasingly seems like what the Knicks did.
