Well, this is a new one.
Early in the second quarter of the Miami Heat's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, Dewayne Dedmon was ejected for smacking a massage gun and causing it to fly onto the court in the middle of play.
Dedmon, who has had his playing time drastically reduced in recent weeks and has even been inactive for many games, was seen arguing with head coach Erik Spoelstra. He then walked behind the Heat bench and smacked the massage device sending it up into the air before it landed among stunned players.
The ejection left the Heat with just seven players to play in the game, which Miami went on to win 112-111, thanks to a perfect night at the free-throw line. The Heat set an NBA record for made shots from the charity stripe without a miss, going 40-40.
Here is another angle of Dedmon smacking the massage onto the court at the 29-second mark of this video.
