MIAMI Heat center Dewayne Dedmon has been ejected from Tuesday’s game for throwing a massage gun onto the court.
The bizarre incident took place after Dedmon, 33, engaged in a heated exchange with head coach Erik Spoelstra, 52.

Dedmon spent just under five minutes in the game before Spoelstra subbed him out early in the second quarter.
As the game went on, suddenly an object landed on the court.
TNT cameras caught Dedmon smacking a massage gun in frustration as he was walking away from a verbal altercation with the Heat head coach.
Another replay showed the device flying over the courtside seats and crashing onto the court near Miami’s three-point line.
It’s unclear if Dedmon hurled the massage gun on purpose.
But the officials ejected the big man for unsportsmanlike conduct.
After the game, Spoelstra criticized Dedmon for his antics.
“That’s the Miami Heat, we’re all a bunch of gnarly personalities,” he said.
“That part was unfortunate, everything before that’s the Miami Heat.”
“That part was unacceptable.”
The Heat had an eventful evening as they set a new NBA record for free throws without a miss in a single game.
Jimmy Butler scored Miami’s 40th free throw to secure the win for Miami with 12.9 seconds left in the game.
