Heat rule out Adebayo for Friday; toe sprain confirmed

Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat)
November 2025

Adebayo exited early vs Denver with left big-toe sprain; MRI confirmed injury, day-to-day. Miami were crushed on the glass without him as Nikola Jokić logged a 33-16-15 triple-double; Denver outrebounded Miami 61-38, 21-5 offensive boards. Expect Heat to patch the five with small-ball and drop-coverage adjustments, toggling zone to protect the paint. Offense shifts toward handoff-lite sets and guard pull-ups until Adebayo’s DHO hub returns. Monitoring soreness and propulsion off the toe is key.

October 2025

Denver secured Braun after a breakout as a full-time starter with 15.4 PPG on strong efficiency. The extension aligns with retooling around Nikola Jokić while adding veterans Cameron Johnson, Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jonas Valančiūnas for depth. Braun’s cutting, point-of-attack defense, and spot-up growth complement Jokić-Murray actions, enabling staggered units. Contract length preserves continuity while roster tweaks aim to reduce playoff fatigue via a deeper nine-man rotation.
