ASK IRA: Did Duncan Robinson ultimately show the most fight for the Heat in New Orleans?
Q: Ira, Duncan Robinson was amazing at the finish against the Pelicans. It’s like he channeled his Jimmy Butler. – Ced.
A: Agree, and it was an effort that largely went overlooked because of the silliness of the melee. With the game in the balance, Duncan Robinson played all 12 minutes in the fourth quarter – the only Heat player to play all 12 in the fourth – and had five points, two assists and a blocked shot in the period. In fact, in the final 59 seconds, he blocked a Zion Williamson shot (!) and had a driving, cutting dunk to close out the scoring. Allow that to marinate – Duncan Robinson block of Zion; Duncan dunk. Perhaps we should have seen the feistiness coming, with Duncan called for a technical foul earlier in the game.
Q: Ira, reading Bam Adebayo’s comments at Friday’s fight, it sounds like he knows he has to take over for Udonis Haslem. Thank you, oh captain, my captain. – Sam.
A: Bam Adebayo certainly is evolving as a leader. But there is a difference, with all due respect to Udonis Haslem. Bam Adebayo Is far more essential to this Heat mix than Udonis was to those Heat playoff teams. So if Udonis missed time for putting Tyler Hansbrough in his place or tossing the occasional mouthpiece, so be it. But the Heat offense revolves around Bam and the defense is anchored by Bam. Any game missed by Bam puts the Heat at a decided disadvantage. So while taking the talk of a leader is one thing, there also is a fine line with Bam waking the walk.
Q: We blew the Bucks out without Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson. I think we will be fine. — Chasin.
A: Actually, the Heat had Tyler Herro for that game against his hometown Bucks, with Tyler scoring 19. But to your point, Erik Spoelstra has been as good as any coach in getting more out of less. So, need be, he will tell us he has enough, craft the Heat’s 30th lineup of the season, and compete.

“Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Tommie Lee among 6 arrested during World Cup match in Miami, sheriff says
Reality television personality Tommie Lee — whose real name is Atasha Jefferson — best known for her appearances on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” was among six people arrested during the England vs. Norway FIFA World Cup match in Miami on Saturday, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office said 60,024 fans attended the match. Deputies also reported 19 ejections from the stadium, adding that all incidents were isolated and handled quickly.
Authorities have not yet released the circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest or any charges she may face.
A social media account that regularly reports celebrity news claimed Sunday that Jefferson was arrested July 11 and released July 12 after posting a $1,000 bond. The post also alleged she is facing a felony charge of interference with a sporting or entertainment event and said she later shared a video on Snapchat appearing to be in good spirits after her release.
What we don’t know
CBS News has not independently verified those claims, including the reported charge, bond amount or release information, and Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office has not publicly confirmed those details.
CBS News has also not independently verified what led to the encounter, and the sheriff’s office has not said what prompted deputies to take Jefferson into custody.
CBS News has requested Jefferson’s arrest report, booking information and any charging documents from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office. A request for comment has also been sent to Jefferson’s representatives.
Reality TV star’s legal troubles in South Florida amid World Cup festivities
Jefferson rose to national prominence as one of the breakout personalities on “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” before later appearing on several Zeus Network reality series, where she has remained a frequent cast member.
This is not Jefferson’s first legal issue in South Florida. In 2024, she was arrested in Miami Beach on a battery charge following an incident outside LIV Nightclub. Court records from that case alleged she physically confronted another person before officers took her into custody.
Saturday’s arrest comes as Miami continues hosting FIFA World Cup matches that have drawn tens of thousands of fans from around the world. Despite the arrests and ejections, the sheriff’s office said the event proceeded safely and described the incidents as isolated.
This is a developing story. CBS News will update this article as additional information, including the exact circumstances surrounding Jefferson’s arrest and any charges, becomes available.
