Tyler Herro traded words with a heckling fan during the Milwaukee Bucks' road game against the Orlando Magic on Friday night. The exchange happened at Kia Center while Milwaukee was stuck in a double-digit hole. Cameras caught the moment, and the clip spread fast online. Herro appeared to fire back at the fan, who had been chirping at him from the stands. It came on a rough night for his team. Orlando led by as many as 20 points, and the Bucks guard had made just 4 of 13 shots through three quarters. Milwaukee had one win in 12 games.

What Did Tyler Herro Say To The Magic Fan In Orlando?

The clip shows Tyler Herro answering back to a Magic fan who had been needling him from the stands at Kia Center. Coverage of the video does not include the exact words, so what the fan and the eight-year veteran traded is still unclear. Herro appeared willing to engage.

Over the summer, Herro was in a physical altercation with former Heat teammate Bam Adebayo, reportedly after leaked Instagram messages in which he questioned Adebayo's value. Against Orlando, the edge showed up again, this time aimed at a fan.

The score gave the exchange some extra heat. Orlando led 52-37 at the half and 84-72 after three quarters. Franz Wagner did most of the damage for the Magic, and Desmond Bane got hot from deep. Herro had 12 points and went 1 of 4 from three. Milwaukee outscored the Magic 35-32 in the third, but the gap was still 12.

Bucks Search For Footing After Giannis Trade

Milwaukee came into Friday with one win in 12 games. The Bucks traded Giannis Antetokounmpo to Miami in the blockbuster deal bringing Herro to town, and the new roster has no baseline yet. Coach Taylor Jenkins is building a new identity with a new staff, and Herro will be at the front of it.

Herro is averaging 21.9 points on 45.9/38.8/80 shooting splits in 31 minutes. He scored a season-high 34 against Chicago on Oct. 23 and had 23 points and 10 assists against Toronto. Those games, along with a 27-point night on Wednesday, all ended in losses. Jaime Jaquez Jr. is the next best scorer at 16.1 points, so the load falls on Herro most nights.

Herro has been open about losing. He said it is the most he has ever lost, after winning at every level before this, including seven seasons with Miami. He urged teammates not to settle into thinking losing is okay. The goal is to win, he said, and that is why players get paid.
