The Miami Heat and their star player Bam Adebayo are currently in a state of uncertainty. After finishing a four-game road trip with a 1-3 record, losing 122-112 to the Denver Nuggets, the team returned home uneasy—not due to the loss, but because of Adebayo's injury.
Adebayo exited the game late in the first quarter due to a left foot injury and did not return. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said,
“We don’t know right now. It’s his left foot, so we’ll find out more [Thursday].”
Adebayo, a three-time All-Star and team captain, is scheduled to have an MRI in Miami on Thursday to assess the severity of the injury.
Standing next to his locker, Adebayo expressed a cautious attitude:
“We’ll figure it out. Get more tests [Thursday] and then see how it goes.”
His availability for the Heat's upcoming back-to-back home games, starting with a tournament match against the Charlotte Hornets, is uncertain.
Coach Spoelstra is also coping with a personal loss, returning to his Coral Gables home destroyed by fire.
