The NBA has fined Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo $50,000 for inappropriately contacting and using profanity against a referee following the team's narrow loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. This incident occurred after Adebayo missed a game-winning 3-point shot, which was contested by Julius Randle, leading to a fall on the court. According to the NBA's Last 2 Minutes Report, referees were justified in not calling a foul on the play, highlighting that contact was minimal and occurred after Adebayo released the ball.
Following the Miami Heat's 106-104 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Bam Adebayo's actions toward a referee led to a significant $50,000 fine.
The NBA confirmed that the referees acted correctly, stating that there was only marginal contact on Adebayo's shot attempt, and emphasized that further contact occurred post-release.
