Heat appear cold on possible Conor McGregor partnership after incidents involving franchise: report

When Conor McGregor was strutting in a red jumpsuit on the Kaseya Center court during the NBA Finals, he seemed in good standing with the Miami Heat. But that doesn’t appear to be the case now. 

McGregor and the Heat reportedly had a plan to make his "cryo" pain spray from Tidl Sport the "official pain relief partner" of the franchise. But that idea has gone cold since his incidents involving the team, according to Page Six. 

McGregor had developed a good relationship with the Heat, but two situations at Game 4 of the Finals have changed everything. 

The first was McGregor sending the team’s mascot, Burnie, to a hospital after punching him in the head during a skit that clearly went wrong.

The second and more serious situation involves allegations by a woman who claims she was raped in a Kaseya Center bathroom by the MMA star

The pain spray deal no longer appears to be on the table for McGregor.

"This was very bad for an otherwise crystal clean organization," an insider told Page Six. "I can’t imagine the Heat brass want the Tidl Sports patch on their jerseys. It’s a reminder of the 24 hours of hell the organization went through."

The woman’s attorney, Ariel Mitchell, claims her client was separated from her friends and forced into a bathroom, where McGregor was allegedly waiting for her, per the New York Post. A video later surfaced showing McGregor and the victim at a club after the game. They were talking, and he eventually left.

Mitchell believes TMZ Sports’ video shows the two "visibly awkwardly interacting with each other."

McGregor has strongly denied the accusations.

"Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated," his attorney, Barbara Llanes, has said.

"While the claimant’s story has changed yet again, our account of the evening has never changed," Llanes added about the video. "This video only reinforces our position. We look forward to the swift conclusion of the investigation."

TMZ unearthed a second video in which McGregor was seen escorting the woman to a bathroom by the hand with others standing near the door. 

Mitchell added that her client believed she was being escorted out of the arena when a man in a Denver Nuggets jersey told her, "Conor told me to come get you." 

The video showing McGregor ushering her away led Mitchell to say her client "did not even recall who led her into the restroom until seeing this video."

Again, Llanes responded. 

"After the video was released by TMZ, the claimant’s lawyer now has changed her story," Llanes said. "Mr. McGregor welcomes the investigation, which he firmly believes will show the claims against him are false. After not responding to the demand for money made by claimant’s counsel, she turned to the media to apply pressure. This is no more than a shakedown."

Mitchell later told Fox News Digital "shakedown" accusations were "false."

"Mr. McGregor‘s team can say this is a shakedown, these allegations are false, but the video is clear. A soon-to-be married man with a fourth baby on the way is himself leading a woman he doesn’t know and not his pregnant fiancée into the bathroom," Mitchell said.

McGregor has since been seen in New York City alongside fiancée Dee Devlin and their children. 

The Heat and the NBA were both aware of the accusations. 

Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler, Will Zalatoris show support to fellow PGA golfer after LIV 'coup' accusations

Members of the PGA Tour are a strong group, and when somebody goes after one of them, several rally behind. 

A recent article in Golfweek accused Patrick Cantlay, who has "romanced" LIV Golf, of running a "coup d'etat" despite being a member of the PGA Tour's policy board.

The piece also claims Cantlay has tried to rally players against the PGA's agreement with the Saudi Public Investment Fund.

"Patrick Cantlay, who carries himself with the assurance of a man convinced he’d be a partner at Goldman Sachs if he wasn’t merely sporting its logo on his cap, has been trying to rally players against the deal with the Saudis, and against members of the Tour’s policy board who architected or support it," Eamon Lynch wrote in his opinion piece. "It hardly needs to be stated that his objections aren’t based on the morality of dealing with human rights abusers. Existing PGA Tour incentives won’t much benefit Cantlay. He won’t get rich from the Player Impact Program that bonuses stars on fan engagement since the only needle he moves is the gas gauge on his car. So the logic of Cantlay’s coup d’etat is that if LIV disappears as a threat — a likely occurrence under the deal — then players like him have no options, no leverage over the Tour, and no prospects for the lucrative payday to which they feel entitled."

KEEGAN BRADLEY HAD A VERY NEW ENGLAND RESPONSE AFTER MISTAKENLY TAKING TRAVELERS CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY

Several members of the PGA caught wind of Lynch's words, and felt they had to show support for their colleague.

2013 Masters champion Adam Scott kick-started a movement by posting a message in support of Cantlay and ripping Lynch.

"These are serious times for golf and there are serious matters. Should articles like this form part of this debate?" Scott wrote on Instagram with a screenshot of the headline of Lynch's article.

"Putting aside personal barbs and fluffy adjectives would be helpful, dealing with facts presented with integrity far superior. Talk of a Cantlay coup d'etat - really? Perhaps some proof rather than faceless speculation? Cheap shots at players ‘value of charisma’? Clearly, many companies value the players. Those players must be entitled to some time and information to decide what is palatable and what is not, after an about-face of Tour management policy. The process will likely be served with objectivity and truth."

Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Will Zalatoris each shared Scott's message to their Instagram Stories.

Cantlay said before the U.S. Open he "was confused about what was really going on" regarding the PGA-LIV deal, per SB Nation.

Fowler and Zalatoris are also a part of the player council.

PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan has been absent due to a medical situation.
