I don&#8217;t think that would make sense,&#8221; Spoelstra said Thursday as the Heat held their season-ending meetings &#8212; two days after being eliminated from postseason contention with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/48490005\/lamelo-ball-clutch-drive-saves-hornets-frantic-play-win\" target=\"_blank\">127-126 loss<\/a> in Charlotte, a game that Adebayo missed much of after being injured on a play where Ball grabbed at his ankle as he was falling.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s a dirty player. I just think, in that moment, all things can be true,&#8221; Spoelstra said. &#8220;It was a dirty play and a dangerous play. It should have been caught at that moment. But it wasn&#8217;t and then, you know, you move on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The league said Ball made &#8220;unnecessary and reckless contact&#8221; with Adebayo. Ball was fined $35,000 for the foul, plus another $25,000 for using profanity in a postgame on-court interview.<\/p>\n<p>Adebayo added Thursday that he hasn&#8217;t yet gotten an apology from Ball.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It didn&#8217;t happen,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I want it to be out there. At some point I&#8217;ll see him again and we&#8217;ll have that conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The flagrant foul from Tuesday&#8217;s game, if called as a Category 2 in real time, would have resulted in Miami being awarded two free throws and possession of the ball &#8212; plus would have led to Ball&#8217;s ejection.<\/p>\n<p>An NBA investigation is standard after such plays; referee Zach Zarba even told a pool reporter Tuesday night that the league would be looking into the play further. The league&#8217;s word came late Wednesday night, and only then could Lee exhale.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the league handed out something that was what they deemed to be fair,&#8221; Lee said in Charlotte on Thursday before the team&#8217;s flight to Orlando. &#8220;And we&#8217;re glad that we still have him going on to the next game. I know he never has the intent to try to hurt anybody out there on the court. But I&#8217;m glad everything&#8217;s kind of settled now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Per NBA rules, the Heat could not challenge the ruling on the play because no foul was called. Play continued, leaving no opportunity for a replay review. Adebayo was diagnosed with a lower-back contusion as a result of the fall.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s at least the second time Ball has been involved in such a play with Adebayo. During a game at Miami in January 2024, when Ball grabbed at Adebayo&#8217;s leg as the Heat star was running to the other end of the court. Adebayo stumbled but did not fall.<\/p>\n<p><i>Information from The Associated Press was included in this report.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/48504650\/spoelstra-no-need-penalize-hornets-ball-further\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apr 16, 2026, 12:59 PM ET MIAMI &#8212; In Miami, the NBA&#8217;s decision that LaMelo Ball grabbing Bam Adebayo was an ejection-worthy flagrant foul didn&#8217;t register much of a reaction.
