Miami Heat ban Justin Bieber from games

The good news for pop star Justin Bieber, he might be getting out of his arrest last week. The bad news, he’s been banned from Miami Heat home games. At least temporarily. The Heat reportedly have image concerns about Bieber and didn’t want the “type” of attention Biebs attracts.

Heat statement via ENews: “They didn’t want the particular brand of attention (Justin Bieber) that his presence would inevitably attract.”

Bieber should talk to Lil Wayne about this.

No matter, Bieber left Miami on Friday night and is reportedly on his way back to LA. Meanwhile, the Miami PD will have to answer questions like; how Bieber was reportedly going LESS than the speed limit according to the GPS on the car and how his blood alcohol limit was only 1.4, well below the legal limit.

**UPDATE**
Thanks to to @The23 apparently whoever spoke with E! didn’t talk to Heat owner Micky Arison

@The23_ absolutely ridiculous story Justin @justinbieber is always welcome at our @MiamiHEAT games. @scooterbraun
