Things seemed to have haywire between shorthanded Miami Heat’s veteran Dewayne Dedmon and coach Erik Spoelstra as they got into a heated altercation on the team bench on Tuesday Night against Oklahoma City Thunder. While stars like Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry, and Tyler Herro were all sidelined, Spoelstra’s decision to sue Dedmon went in vain as he was ejected for throwing a massage gun on the court.
