Heat Say Bam Adebayo Is Out Wednesday
6 months agoThe Miami Heat say center Bam Adebayo (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Adebayo was listed as probable on Miami's official injury report due to a left hip contusion, but the discomfort seems to be enough to hold him out Wednesday in Cleveland. Adebayo, averaging 22.8 points, 10.2 boards, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks, sees his next shot to suit up come on Friday against the New York Knicks. The Cavaliers have a massive frontcourt, so it's fair to expect head coach Erik Spoelstra to counter that look with a considerable dose of big men Thomas Bryant and Orlando Robinson. The Heat faced a similar matchup in terms of size when Adebayo missed Oct. 30's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, when Bryant played 21 minutes in a start and Robinson got 26 minutes off the bench. Kevin Love (personal) is also out for personal reasons, leaving Miami even thinner down low.
