Report: NBA announces punishment for Miami Heat for their acquisition of Kyle Lowry

According to a report, the NBA will strip the Miami Heat of their next available second-round draft pick.
The decision is a result of the league’s findings in a tampering investigation regarding the Heat’s acquisition of Kyle Lowry.
It sounds like the Heat cooperated in the league’s investigation.
The league told teams in a memo that both the Bulls and Heat "fully cooperated with the investigations" and that was taken into account when doling out the penalties. https://t.co/Uc7PCuqN1t

The Heat took to Twitter to make their stance clear on the outcome.

While the Heat are obviously unhappy about losing a draft pick, they’re certainly thrilled with the impact Lowry has made so far in the 2021-22 season.
If Lowry ends up leading Miami to an NBA title, this whole matter will obviously be an afterthought.
The Heat are 13-8 on the season and have looked like one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference so far this year.
