What will the NBA fallout from Spain's Olympic Basketball team photo flap be?

Settled as No response from the NBA office

No response reported nor found.

www.nba.com

Background:

BEIJING – When Jason Kidd logged into a laptop to see the Spaniards with his own eyes on Wednesday morning, the photo appeared just as described to him: Here were National Basketball Association players giggling like schoolgirls as they posed with fingers pressed against their temples in a squinty-eyed pre-Olympic salute to China.

As many await a response from the NBA, let's guess what their response, if any, might be.

Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Outcome means any of the listed possibilities occurring to any of the Spanish Olympic team members appearing in the photo at the center of this question.
Action must be initiated by the NBA office. Not necessarily from the Commisioners mouth but in a form so as to be intended as an official response from the NBA.
This market is asking what will happen by the time this market closes, if nothing happens by the time this market is suspended, the outcome should be settled as "No response from the NBA office"
