Bam Adebayo Still Out With Bruised Hip
5 months agoMiami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) is out for Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Make it three absences in a row for Adebayo, whose troublesome left hip contusion has limited him to three of a possible seven appearances since Nov. 22. It's also not a great sign that Adebayo was ruled out last Saturday for this past Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors, either. The 26-year-old two-time All-Star has carried out third-round fantasy value this year, averaging 22.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks in 33.6 minutes over 16 games in South Beach. Fantasy managers hope Adebayo can return on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Miami's offense should center around Jimmy Butler on Friday. With Thomas Bryant a DNP-CD for back-to-back nights, the unheralded Orlando Robinson has emerged as a valid streaming option while hitting for at least 15 points and two threes in each of his last two starts.
