Adebayo has been ruled out against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, but this is a positive development for him. That will be a fourth straight absence for him, and his next chance to play will be on Friday against the Knicks. Kel’el Ware will continue to start at center until Adebayo is healthy. Bam was seen getting in some work after practice, with the posted video showing him doing defensive slides.

Adebayo will miss a third straight game, which should mean another start for Kel’el Ware. Over his last two games sans Bam, Ware has recorded 18 rebounds, two steals and six blocks.

Adebayo was diagnosed with a big toe sprain earlier this week. While the 28-year-old center is set to miss his second consecutive game, it’s a relief for fantasy managers that he avoided a major injury. Kel’el Ware should continue to start in place of Adebayo until he returns.

Adebayo left Wednesday’s game after only eight minutes with what was referred to as a foot injury. He had an MRI on Thursday, and the results appear to be great news for the Heat. A big toe sprain could linger, and the Heat are likely to be cautious with their big man this early in the season, but it’s a relief for the team that Adebayo has avoided a major injury. Kel’el Ware should start in place of Adebayo and see a big boost in production until Adebayo returns.

Adebayo left Wednesday’s game after only eight minutes with what was referred to as a foot injury. He had an MRI today, and the results appear to be great news for the Heat. A big toe sprain could linger, and the Heat are likely to be cautious with their big man this early in the season, but it’s a relief for the team that Adebayo has avoided a major injury. Kel’el Ware figures to pick up big minutes on Friday and would be worth an add in fantasy leagues as long as Adebayo is out.

Adebayo injured his left foot during the first half of Thursday’s game, and while the Heat announced that he was questionable to return, the three-time All-Star never did. Losing Bam for an extended period of time would be massive for the Heat, thrusting Kel’el Ware into the spotlight. He played 27 minutes off the bench in Denver, finishing with 13 points, 13 rebounds, four steals, one block and two three-pointers. Ware is rostered in 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and managers in 10-team leagues may want to get ahead of the rush to add the second-year center.

Adebayo recorded his fourth double-double of the season on Monday, helping Miami hold on for a one-point win. And after shooting 36.2 percent from the field in his first three games, the Heat center has been a more efficient scorer. Adebayo has scored 25 points or more in three of his last four and has provided top-15 value in nine-cat formats during this stretch. Getting Tyler Herro back will help with the offensive spacing when that time comes, but Adebayo should be fine regardless of who else is available for the Heat.

Adebayo didn’t quite recapture the magic of his recent 31-point outing against the Spurs, but he was still productive on the offensive end on Sunday. Low volume kept Adebayo to 11 shot attempts, but his efficiency allowed him to finish in double figures and as one of the Heat’s top scorers. Yet, his production on the defensive end was arguably more noteworthy — here, he collected four stocks and was one of two Miami players to tally at least one block and one steal. He’ll have a chance on Monday to log an even better performance against the Clippers on the second night of a back-to-back.

Adebayo finished Thursday’s defeat with his best line of the season, recording his first 30-point double-double. As is the case with many bigs who can shoot, he spent a lot of time on the perimeter due to the presence of Victor Wembanyama. Adebayo’s 13 three-point attempts were a career-high, but he’s attempted at least five in all five of Miami’s games thus far. He’s still ranked outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, but that will change with more performances like the one Bam produced on Thursday.

Adebayo finished Tuesday’s victory with a season-high point total, and he’s scored 19 points or more in three straight games. While there were no defensive stats in his most recent stat line, Charlotte’s porous defense allowed Bam to compensate for that on the offensive end. And the lack of defensive stats has weighed down his fantasy value through the season’s first week. Counting Tuesday, Adebayo has totaled two steals and no blocked shots. However, fantasy managers should not be too concerned given his track record.

Adebayo struggled with his shot on Sunday but remained effective as a rebounder and recorded his second double-double of the season. And the three-point attempts have increased significantly when compared to last season. Adebayo has attempted 18 three-pointers thus far, with the average of six per game being more than double his 2024-25 mark (2.8). The accuracy hasn’t been there thus far, but Bam is attempting a transformation similar to the one Brook Lopez experienced earlier in his career. If Adebayo can develop into a consistent perimeter shooter, that would do wonders for him and the Heat.

The Grizzlies didn’t have any answers for Adebayo early in this game. He scored 18 points with four triples in the first quarter to help Miami jump out to a 19-point lead to end the first quarter and take a 39-point lead into halftime. Unfortunately, Adebayo wasn’t able to add much after the first quarter, but at that point, the damage was already done, and the Heat was able to get its first win of the season. Adebayo will look to get hot again on Sunday against New York.

Despite exiting Monday’s game against the Hawks with a knee injury, Adebayo started Friday and played his most minutes of the preseason. He was aggressive in his time on the floor, finishing with a team-high in shot attempts and ending with more than 20 points for the first time during these exhibition games. Adebayo made his usual impact on the defensive end, and if he can regain his shooting efficiency and find another gear as a scorer, he may be able to improve on his 2024-25 campaign.

In their sixth and final preseason game, the Heat are rolling with most of their main players in Friday’s starting lineup. Adebayo will get the start, despite leaving Monday’s contest early (knee), while Mitchell joins the opening unit for the second time this preseason. Miami has gone 0-5 this preseason and will have a chance to earn a win against the Grizzlies, who are also without a victory during the preseason.

Adebayo, who sat out Sunday’s loss to the Magic, suffered a right knee contusion early in the third quarter of Monday’s exhibition. He was able to walk back to the locker room without assistance and has since returned to the Heat bench. The return to the bench may be a sign that the injury isn’t serious, which would be great news for the Heat and fantasy managers. Adebayo finished with 13 points (4-of-11 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes.

Adebayo, Wiggins and Powell are back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Magic. Ware is the lone holdover from that game’s starting five, and he’s started the last two exhibitions after coming off the bench to begin the preseason. He or Nikola Jović will be in the starting lineup when the regular season begins, with the latter being the player who may be impacted more by starting. Ware offers solid value whether he starts or comes off the bench.

What started off as a disappointing season for Adebayo eventually turned into a strong one for him, but it wasn’t enough to change Miami’s fortunes in the postseason. Nothing changes for him entering next season. He’s still the franchise cornerstone, along with Tyler Herro. Adebayo’s production improved after the Jimmy Butler trade, which will hopefully translate into a big 2025-26 season for him, though it may depend on what moves the Heat make this season. Regardless, Adebayo should at least be considered a top-50 player entering next season and has the potential for more.

Adebayo appeared to be one of the few Heat players to understand what was on the line Saturday afternoon, with the 37-point loss dropping them into an 0-3 hole. With the defeat, Miami has now lost its last seven home playoff games, which does not bode well for its chances of extending the series in Game 4 on Monday. At the very least, Adebayo can be counted on to compete at a high level.

While Adebayo was limited in the scoring department, the eight-year pro led the Heat in assists and rebounds while being one of three Heat players to register a steal. In addition to his work on the boards and ability to serve as a go-to facilitator, additional scoring would greatly benefit a Miami team trying to keep pace with a dangerous Cavaliers offense. Adebayo will have a chance for more production in Game 3 on Saturday.

Miami’s frontcourt was solid in Game 1, with Adebayo recording a complete stat line and rookie Kel’el Ware (14/6/2/1 with two three-pointers in 38 minutes) providing solid contributions in his playoff debut. However, it wasn’t enough to counter what Cleveland’s guards were able to do, which may prove to be the prevailing storyline of this series. Adebayo should be able to put up quality lines on a nightly basis, despite having to deal with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. However, the Heat are serious underdogs in this series due to their comparatively limited depth of productive players.

Adebayo didn’t have a bad game offensively, but he really left his mark on the defensive end. As one of the premier defenders in the league, Adebayo was able to do a bit of everything to help Miami keep their season alive. His seven “stocks” matched his season-high, and he recorded his third straight double-double. Adebayo be tasked with slowing down Cleveland’s two seven-footers in the first round of the playoffs as the Heat look to pull off their second win over a No. 1 seed as a No. 8 seed in the last three years.

Adebayo is one of the NBA’s best and most versatile defenders, and the Heat used that to their advantage on Wednesday. He began the game guarding Josh Giddey, which may have thrown off the Bulls’ starting point guard. Adebayo didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, but his rebounding and defense helped lead the way as Miami held Chicago to a season-low 90 points. The Heat visit Atlanta on Friday, with the winner advancing to face Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs.

Adebayo’s line would’ve been reasonable had he played at least 35 minutes Friday against the Pelicans, but it was all the more impressive because he only played 22 minutes as the Heat won by 49. The 27-year-old center still managed a double-double and hit four three-pointers. While he got off to a slow start this season, Adebayo has finished the year strong for fantasy managers that stuck with the Heat big man.

Adebayo’s absence has a more significant impact on the Heat rotation and fantasy basketball, as Wiggins has not played since March 27. Bam not playing may result in Kyle Anderson moving into the starting lineup, while starter Kel’el Ware’s playing time should increase. As for Wiggins, Pelle Larsson will continue to fill the void he’s left in the starting five. Larsson is worth a look in extremely deep leagues that remain active.

Bam’s addition to the injury report on Monday afternoon puts his status to take the court against Philly in doubt. If he’s unable to go, Kyle Anderson could replace him in the starting five at power forward, while Kel’el Ware could pick up some additional minutes in the frontcourt.

While he could not lead the Heat to a win on a night when Tyler Herro was unavailable, Adebayo recorded an excellent stat line for those who have him rostered. The 30-point double-double was his first since March 5 and fifth of the season. Over the past two weeks, Adebayo has provided top-40 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While he did not get off to the best start this season, Bam’s “finishing kick” has been excellent for those who have him rostered.

Adebayo was hardly efficient on offense with 26 points on 26 shot attempts, but fantasy managers will take the 26 points. The 27-year-old center has now scored at least 20 points in four of his last six games. Adebayo played 34 minutes and was a factor in all phases of the game with seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and two blocks. Even with the Heat having a down season, Adebayo has produced down the stretch after a slow start to the season.

Bam had at least 20 points for the third time in his last five games. The 27-year-old center had his way in the paint for most of the game with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford out. Adebayo’s production was more muted in the other categories as he had just five rebounds. After a slow start to the season, he had an excellent month of March and got off to a good start with 21 points against the Celtics in the first game of April.

Miami has won five games in a row, all by at least 10 points. Adebayo’s production has been limited at times by lopsided scores, but he was able to have a big night on Monday. He has made up for a slow start to the season with an excellent stretch in March, where he has provided third-round value with averages of 20.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 three-pointers per game. They still have three more games this week, with a matchup in Boston on Wednesday up next.

After lighting up Golden State for 27 points, Adebayo was quieter on the offensive end against Atlanta, which has been the case for him for most of the season. However, he was able to record a double-double after going eight straight games without one, and he was able to contribute some dimes and swipes to make up for the lack of scoring. Miami is clicking at the right time, and they may be able to ride this momentum into some victories in the Play-In Tournament, especially if Bam continues to do a little bit of everything for them.
