The National Basketball Players Association is appealing the suspension of Dion Waiters.

Waiters has lost $83,500 for each of the 17 games he has been suspended.

Waiters is under contract for $12.1 million this season and $12.7 million next season, on the final two years of the four-year, $52 million contract he signed in 2017.

Waiters was suspended by the Heat "for his failure to adhere to team policies, violation of team rules and continued insubordination."
