🎦Today’s News:

The Miami Heat, in consultation with the NBA, suspended veteran center Dewayne Dedmon for one game without pay following his bizarre ejection from Tuesday’s 112-111 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Heat announced Dedmon’s suspension on Wednesday night, labeling the reason as “conduct detrimental to the team for actions that took place in the bench area of last night’s game vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder.”

With the Heat issuing a suspension for Dedmon, the NBA is not allowed to also punish him with a fine or suspension, so the punishment will end with the team-issued one-game suspension without pay.

Dedmon will serve the suspension when the Heat hosts the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, the incident that drew the suspension occurred early in the second quarter of Tuesday’s win over the Thunder.

Dedmon entered for his first stint off the bench with 2:22 left in the first quarter and was subbed out for undrafted rookie center Orlando Robinson with 9:25 remaining in the second quarter, with the Thunder outscoring the Heat 13-10 in Dedmon’s minutes.

Dedmon was not pleased that he was pulled from the game after just five minutes and got into a heated discussion with Heat coach Erik Spoelstra during that timeout. A visibly angry Dedmon then stormed off the Heat’s bench as play resumed, swatting a massage gun onto the court as he walked through the tunnel that leads to the team’s locker room.

Dedmon was ejected with 9:15 left in the second quarter for unsportsmanlike conduct that was called because he threw an object onto the court while play was already underway.

“It’s the Miami Heat,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said following Tuesday’s game when asked what led to Dedmon’s ejection. “We’re all a bunch of gnarly personalities, that part [throwing an object onto the court] was unfortunate. Everything before that, that’s the Miami Heat, but that part was unacceptable.”

Before being ejected, Dedmon recorded two points and three rebounds in five minutes in Tuesday’s win.

Dedmon has been used as the Heat’s backup center for most of the season, but the results have not been positive as he continues to play through plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The Heat has been outscored by 10.1 points per 100 possessions with Dedmon on the court this season.

Dedmon has averaged 5.9 points and 3.7 rebounds in 29 games this season. Robinson, who is on a two-way contract with the Heat, has receive more minutes as the backup center recently amid Dedmon’s struggles. Robinson started on Tuesday with usual starting center Bam Adebayo out.

When a player is suspended by the NBA, a portion of their salary is removed from the team’s salary cap. For the Heat, a league-issued suspension would have helped its position against the luxury tax, but since the Heat issued the suspension, there is no salary-cap relief stemming from Dedmon’s punishment.

Dedmon, 33, becomes trade eligible on Sunday, he’s on a $4.7 million salary this season and his $4.3 million salary for next season is fully non-guaranteed, which is a contract that could be attractive to a team looking for salary cap relief in a trade that could also help the Heat create more room under the luxury tax threshold in order to add to its roster.
