A fight in the stands at the Kaseya Center on Tuesday night caught the eye of Tyler Herro as he was conducting a postgame interview.
The Heat star showed an impressive amount of focus as he powered through the interview with Bally Sports Sun before wrapping up his answer and apologizing for being distracted.
“Just continue to figure out what we can do to get ready for the season,” Herro said. “Sorry I’m distracted by a fight up there. This is crazy.”
The 24-year-old seemed pretty entertained by the fracas and the interviewer chimed in that she hoped “that breaks up here soon” before letting Herro go back to the locker room.
Herro was still locked into the fight as he walked away.
Video of the brawl posted to social media certainly explained why Herro was invested in what was going on in the stands.
It showed a vicious scrap that went on for at least 30 seconds before security and law enforcement approached the scene to calm things down.
Three men became entangled in a fight that saw fists flying everywhere as two of the men seemed to be attacking a third. The three grappled in their row as punches were thrown
A woman was also seen trying to get involved in the fight and a bystander could be seen trying to intervene and continuously yelling to try to get them to stop.
It’s unclear what started the fight.
The Heat defeated the Spurs 120-117 in the preseason tilt on Tuesday night and will begin their season at home next Wednesday against their in-state rival, the Magic.
The Heat are entering the season with a core that remains the same from the previous year with Herro, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo
