Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat)
November 2025
Adebayo exited late first quarter with left-foot pain and did not return as Miami fell 122-112. Testing is scheduled Thursday. Without him, Miami were overrun on the glass and Jokic produced a 33-16-15 triple-double to tilt control. Miami’s interior resistance collapsed, conceding 61 rebounds (21 offensive). If Adebayo misses time, expect spot-starts, more zone, stronger gang-rebounding principles, and staggered minutes to protect non-Adebayo lineups. Offensive usage may shift to pick-and-pop/hand-off counters to compensate for lost short-roll creation.
