What Happened to Bam Adebayo? Live Injury Updates
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo left Wednesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets early and headed to the locker room due to an apparent foot injury. His return to play was listed as questionable.
Details of the Injury
Adebayo logged just eight minutes in the first half before being substituted out. The exact moment of the injury was unclear. Before exiting, he recorded two points and one rebound.
Impact on the Game
If Adebayo remains out, Miami will face a difficult task defending Nikola Jokic and Denver’s dynamic offense without their top interior defender. In his absence, Kel’el Ware is expected to see more playing time and take on a larger offensive role, as he did effectively last season. The Heat’s depth at center is thin, with rookie Vladislav Goldin being the only other option at the position.
