Basketball Wives Miami gets ready for season 5 with a promo photo shoot [photos]

Basketball Wives Miami is back for their 5th season with a seriously reduced cast. Gone are previous season staples, Royce Reed and Jennifer Williams. New comer Kesha Nichols is out too. That leaves us with Shaunie O’Neal, Evelyn Lozada, Tami Roman and Suzie Ketcham returning with the added presence of Tasha Marbury… oh and no Miami this season. Check out photos from their shoot.

Side note, season four’s Kenya Bell makes a guest appearance this season which was filmed recently. The meeting was set up so that she and Suzie could squash their differences – wait, I don’t even remember her having problems with Suzie – Plot set up. Check out the deets courtesy of TMZ:

the fight went down at a restaurant in L.A. where the cast was taping an episode for season 5 — in which Kenya (who was fired last year) was temporarily brought back to settle her beef with Suzie.

But it didn’t go as planned … OR DID IT??? We’re told the two got into a heated verbal exchange … which quickly escalated when Suzie threw her plate of meatballs across the table, striking Kenya.

According to our sources, Kenya fired back by lunging at Suzie and then punches were thrown on both sides. Producers were forced to step in and break it up.

Tami Roman has already said this will be her last season. The show either needs to start anew with an entire new cast or make this one the last for everyone.
