An ugly scene unfolded in the aftermath of the Chicago Bulls’ impressive victory over the Miami Heat on Saturday night.
The story of the evening should have been Chicago rallying back after being down 22-1 at one point.
Instead it proved to be something much more unfortunate.
Following the game, LaVine could be seen getting physical with a Bulls staffer:

Reactions to the incident were mixed.
Some felt like the staffer should have never put herself in that particular position. Others believed the fault lay with LaVine.
Well, first she grabbed him…

Afterward, LaVine briefly addressed the matter.
“Just a miscommunication for us and our PR team,” he said. “We’re all fine.”
It will be interesting to see if there is any further fallout from the incident.
Either way, this has been a busy week for LaVine.
Between a report surfacing about him being open to a trade, a follow-up that revealed the one team he doesn’t want to go to, and then yet another scoop about the four teams he does want to go to, it has been one thing after another.

This is just par for the course.
Will the Bulls address this matter any further? Will LaVine? An answer one way or the other will come within the next few days.
