Adebayo (back) won't return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets. He'll finish with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes.
This is a huge loss for the Heat, as Adebayo is one of Miami's go-to options on offense while also operating as the anchor on the defensive end. Without Adebayo, look for Kel'el Ware to continue handling a bigger role in the frontcourt for Miami.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Inefficient scoring in loss
Rotowire
Adebayo produced 18 points (5-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 136-111 loss to the Spurs.
Adebayo turned in a subpar performance in a blowout loss for the Heat. The big man was outstanding Saturday with a 32-point, 21-rebound double-double but has looked a bit shaky from the field of late, shooting 40 percent or below in three of his past five games since his 83-point eruption, with two of those outings coming at 30 percent or lower, including Monday. Given the 28-year-old's generally consistent work on the glass -- albeit muted against the Spurs -- and his ability to frequently get to the free-throw line, Adebayo can often still produce even when his efficiency from the field dips.

Rotowire
Adebayo (calf) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Adebayo was initially added to the team's injury report as questionable due to right calf tightness, but he was downgraded to doubtful earlier Tuesday morning and has now officially been ruled out.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Downgraded to doubtful
Rotowire

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Adebayo is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to right calf tightness.
The star big man is in jeopardy of sitting out for the first time since the Dec. 27 win over the Pacers. Kel'el Ware would likely handle a featured role at center if Adebayo cannot play Tuesday, which would open the door for a more pronounced role for Jaime Jaquez in the frontcourt.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Makes history with 83-point night
Rotowire
Adebayo registered 83 points (20-43 FG, 7-22 3Pt, 36-43 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 win over the Wizards.
Adebayo turned in the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, surpassing Kobe Bryant's 81-point performance from January 2006. The Heat made a concerted effort to get Adebayo the ball down the stretch of the fourth quarter, allowing him to sink a pair of free throws with a little over a minute remaining to reach 83 points. Adebayo scored just under half of his points from the charity stripe and nearly recorded a double-double with a strong effort on the glass. He also broke the NBA single-game records for free throws attempted and free throws made.
