MIAMI (AP) In Miami, the NBA's decision that LaMelo Ball grabbing Bam Adebayo was an ejection-worthy flagrant foul didn't register much of a reaction.In Charlotte, the fact that the ruling didn't include a suspension brought relief.Ball will play Friday for the Hornets in their play-in elimination game at Orlando the reality that Charlotte coach Charles Lee hoped for, and something that Miami coach Erik Spoelstra didn't seem to have a problem with.I didnt think that he needed to be penalized more moving forward. I don't think that would make sense," Spoelstra said Thursday as the Heat held their season-ending meetings two days after being eliminated from the postseason with a 127-126 loss 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.I dont think hes a dirty player. I just think, in that moment, all things can be true, Spoelstra said. It was a dirty play and a dangerous play. It should have been caught at that moment. But it wasnt and then, you know, you move on.The league said Ball made unnecessary and reckless contact with Adebayo. Ball was fined $35,000 for the foul, plus another $25,000 for using profanity in a postgame on-court interview.The flagrant foul from Tuesdays 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 plus would have led to Ball's ejection.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's word came late Wednesday night, and only then could Lee exhale.I think the league handed out something that was what they deemed to be fair," Lee said in Charlotte on Thursday before the team's flight to Orlando. "And were 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'm glad everythings kind of settled now.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.It'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 Adebayos leg as the Heat star was running to the other end of the court. Adebayo stumbled but did not fall.___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA

Declan Rice has issued a bold warning to Manchester City, insisting Arsenal are fully prepared to seize control of the Premier League title race when the two sides meet at the Etihad on Sunday.The midfielder described the upcoming encounter as "the ultimate test" but made clear his teammates are embracing the challenge rather than fearing it."It's beautiful and I can't wait. It's why we play the game," Rice told TNT Sports following Wednesday's Champions League progression."To go there and win would be a massive statement and look, these boys are ready. We spoke as a group. We know what's required. So yeah, bring it on."Rice was candid about Arsenal's recent struggles, acknowledging the team must raise their standards significantly for the weekend showdown."There's no beating around the bush. We have to perform better than we did against Bournemouth and you can say tonight [against Sporting as well]," he admitted.The 27-year-old identified specific areas requiring attention, pointing to careless distribution and a lack of composure in possession."Recently, we probably have made too many errors than we have done in previous weeks. It's about doing the basics a little bit better to a better level just the five, 10-yard passes that we're giving away a bit sloppily."Arsenal have managed just a single victory in their previous five fixtures across all competitions.Rice revealed the sting of last month's Carabao Cup final defeat at Wembley continues to fuel his determination ahead of Sunday's clash."It hurts losing every final," he said. "To see them lift that, it did hurt. There is that fire in the stomach to eradicate that this weekend."The England international acknowledged City deserved their triumph on the day but refused to let that memory fade without response."We had to show them respect. We shared the pitch for 90 minutes and ultimately on the day they were the better team," Rice added.With six league matches remaining, the midfielder views this weekend as an opportunity for redemption.Arsenal travel to Manchester with a six-point advantage at the summit, though Pep Guardiola's side possess a game in hand that could alter the complexion of the race.The Gunners secured their passage to the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday, where they will face Atletico Madrid for a place in the final.
