Bam Adebayo has remained a constant force for the Miami Heat since entering the NBA in 2017. Nearly a decade later, his dedication to the franchise is paying off significantly. While his early seasons may not have drawn widespread attention, Adebayo has steadily grown into one of the Heat’s most dependable and beloved players.
This season has been another solid chapter in Adebayo’s Miami journey. With Jimmy Butler no longer on the roster following a recent trade, Adebayo’s leadership and consistency have become even more vital. He has featured in 76 of Miami’s 78 games so far, averaging 18 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game.
On Sunday, the Heat will face off against the Philadelphia 76ers. Adebayo is expected to be on the court once again, but he is not listed on the latest injury report.
