Heat Say Bam Adebayo Is Available Versus Nets
6 months agoMiami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip), who was previously listed as probable, will suit up in Wednesday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets. Adebayo had to miss Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a left hip contusion, but it always sounded like an injury of minimal concern. The 26-year-old two-time All-Star should return to his customary center position in head coach Erik Spoelstra's starting unit, and he catches a Nets team missing elite rim-protector Nicolas Claxton (ankle) on Wednesday. Thomas Bryant, who posted 10 points and two steals in Monday's spot start, should be relegated to the bench. Adebayo may be hurting 9-cat fantasy managers in average turnovers (3.0) and free-throw percentage (69.0%) through his opening three games, but he's a locked-in starter across all settings whenever he's out there.
