In light of the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal, the NBA sent a memo to all 30 teams warning them that bullying or hazing of any kind will not be tolerated, reports ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

According to the report, the memo mentions the situation involving Dolphins offensive linemen Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin, and details what type of behaviors would violate the NBA's policy.

Incognito was suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team after allegedly leaving Martin voicemails and texts that contained racist and threatening language. Martin left the team and is in California and the NFL hired a lawyer this week to investigate the incident.
