The wife of a former NBA executive had time to check messages on a dating app after fatally stabbing her husband and before calling authorities, cops say.

There was an 11-hour period in between the time Michael Redlick was stabbed and when his wife, Danielle Justine Redlick, called police on Jan. 12, according to an arrest report, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The 45-year-old Danielle told cops she and Michael — a University of Central Florida faculty member and former executive for the Memphis Grizzlies — had an argument that started when he spat a piece of McDonald’s hamburger meat into her face. The wife claimed she grabbed a knife from the kitchen before Michael snatched it from her and “began making stabbing motions towards herself,” the report noted.

That’s when Danielle reportedly ran into the bathroom and locked the door. When there was silence in the couple’s home, Danielle said she exited the room and found Michael, 65, lying motionless on the floor in pools of blood.
