Adebayo may have finished with his second double-double in this first-round series Monday, but it was nowhere near enough to keep his team from being eliminated in a four-game sweep. The Kentucky product's season comes to an end, averaging a double-double against Cleveland, with 17.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 43.8 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from deep.

Rotowire
Adebayo contributed 22 points (9-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist over 40 minutes during Saturday's 124-87 loss to the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The 27-year-old big led the Heat in scoring and rebounding, but he didn't get much help in the rout -- Davion Mitchell was the only other Miami player to score more than 13 points. Adebayo has been the one reliable option for the team to begin the playoffs, averaging 19.0 points, 10.7 boards, 4.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steals through three games, but the Heat are still staring at the possibility of getting swept on their home court heading into Game 4 on Monday.

Rotowire

Adebayo has made a concerted effort to develop his three-point shot this season, allowing him to more easily play alongside Kel'el Ware in the frontcourt. Adebayo has made massive strides in that department, converting 35.7 percent of his 2.8 three-point attempts per contest in 2024-25 after his previous career high in attempts per game was 0.6. Since Ware moved into the starting lineup Jan. 21, Adebayo is shooting 42.5 percent on 3.2 three-point attempts per outing across 38 appearances.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Adebayo is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers with back spasms, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Rotowire

Adebayo got off to a sizzling start in the first half, and while he cooled off in the final two quarters and overtime, he was still Miami's best player by a wide margin in this loss.

He has scored at least 20 points in his last four outings, a stretch in which he's averaging 26.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game while shooting an impressive -- and probably unsustainable -- 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Even though the Heat came up short and had to settle for the loss, Adebayo delivered an impressive stat line and made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Like Tyler Herro, Adebayo is ending the season on a strong note while trying to carry the Heat into a Play-In Tournament berth. The star big man has scored over 20 points in each of his last three games, and is averaging a robust line of 19.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and a combined 1.8 steals-plus-blocks per game over his previous 11 appearances.

Adebayo didn't fill the stat sheet in this victory, and Tyler Herro certainly overshadowed him with his 31-point performance, but there's no question the star big man still posted a solid line due to his two-way play. Adebayo, who recorded his first double-double since March 10, is averaging 19.9 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game since the beginning of March.

The star big man hasn't recorded a double-double since March 10, but he remains an impactful player who can fill the stat sheet on any given game.
