In a heated NBA game on Friday night, the Miami Heat beat the New Orleans Pelicans 106-95, a match marked by a fourth-quarter brawl that led to the ejection of four key players, including the Heat's Jimmy Butler, who had amassed 23 points and nine rebounds before his dismissal. The altercation has prompted the NBA to issue suspensions and fines, with Butler facing a significant loss of $311,613.52 in base salary. Other players, including Thomas Bryant, Jose Alvarado, Nikola Jovic, and Naji Marshall, have also been penalized financially for their involvement. The incident, which also involved an injury scare for Tyler Herro, has left the Heat awaiting league sanctions and raised questions about potential suspensions.
