ICYMI: Miami Heat Suspend Center For Bizarre Actions During Game

It was a crazy scene, to see a therapist massage gun tossed onto the court, right in the middle of play. Now Miami Heat center Dwayne Dedmon will pay the price for his actions, which were deemed "conduct detrimental to the team": 

Miami’s Dewayne Dedmon has been suspended one game, in consultation with the team and NBA, for actions Tuesday night that included knocking a massage gun onto court.

Dedmon was suspended for one game by the Heat, and will lose about $32,000 in pay for the missed game. The only good news for Dedmon? The NBA cannot also come down on him.

With "no double-jeopardy" rule, Dedmon now cannot also be sanctioned by NBA. So no NBA suspension or penalty, just the one from the Heat. https://t.co/7z9myc2FuK

It's called the "no double-jeopardy" rule. 

The incident occurred after Dedmon had an on-court argument with head coach Erik Spoelstra and assistant Caron Butler:

Dedmon has fallen out of the rotation and is averaging 5.9 points and 3.7 rebounds in 11.7 minutes/game.
