Heat's Bam Adebayo: Flirts with triple-double
Rotowire
Adebayo finished Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Pistons with 30 points (12-24 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.
Adebayo was one rebound and two assists shy of tallying his third triple-double of the season. The 27-year-old center also bounced back offensively after failing to score 20 points in each of his previous four outings. Adebayo simultaneously continues to be one of the league's best defenders, as he has now recorded at least one steal and one block 21 times in 2024-25.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Bounces back in loss to Memphis
Rotowire
Adebayo finished Saturday's 125-91 loss to the Grizzlies with 18 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes.
The Heat looked outplayed in the 34-point loss, but at least Adebayo bounced back from his previous two outings in which he was held to six and nine points against the Clippers and Celtics, respectively. Adebayo has failed to reach the 20-point mark in four of his nine outings in March, but he's still averaging a respectable line of 21.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game over that stretch.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Sniffs triple-double
Rotowire
Adebayo recorded 23 points (8-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 105-102 loss to the Hornets.
Adebayo has been playing at a high level in recent weeks, and even though Tyler Herro tends to carry the Heat offensively, it wouldn't be a stretch to say Adebayo has been the Heat's best player since the end of the All-Star break. Over those 11 games, the star big man is averaging 22.9 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game while recording five double-doubles.
Adebayo closed Saturday's 114-109 loss to Chicago with 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 38 minutes.
There's a strong argument to say Adebayo has been the Heat's best player since the trade that sent Jimmy Butler to the Warriors. The star big man couldn't extend his streak of double-doubles to four games, but he still posted solid fantasy value due to his contributions on both ends of the court. Adebayo extended his stretch of solid play in the scoring column since he's reached the 20-point plateau in six of his previous nine contests.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Misses game-winning shot
Rotowire
Adebayo logged 29 points (11-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Friday's 106-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Adebayo had the opportunity to win the game for the Heat, but he couldn't sink what would've been the game-winning three in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. Despite that, the star big man delivered another impressive performance and continues to settle himself as one of the team's go-to scoring weapons, alongside Tyler Herro, since the All-Star break. Adebayo, who has recorded three straight double-doubles, is averaging 23.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game in nine contests since the All-Star break.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Records double-double
Rotowire
Adebayo ended Wednesday's 112-107 loss to Cleveland with 34 points (11-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes.
Adebayo carried the Heat offensively and posted an impressive stat line, but his efforts were not enough to lift Miami to a win against the team with the best record in the NBA. Adebayo has been excellent since the end of the All-Star break. He has three double-doubles in eight contests over that span, averaging 22.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks per contest.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Big night on glass
Rotowire
Adebayo chipped in a game-high 19 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 106-90 win over the Wizards.
The double-double was Adebayo's 31st of the season, snapping a streak of five straight games with single-digit boards. Kel'el Ware (knee) was unavailable Monday, which might help explain Adebayo's resurgence on the glass, but the rookie isn't expected to be out long. Over 13 appearances since the beginning of February, Adebayo has averaged 21.7 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Puts up 30 points in loss
Rotowire
Adebayo racked up 30 points (12-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 overtime loss to New York.
The Heat had the Knicks on the ropes in the first half, but superb results from Adebayo and Tyler Herro weren't enough to halt New York's rally in the second half. Kel'el Ware's frequent presence at the five hasn't adversely affected Adebayo's numbers, and the latter's minutes have been consistent with Ware sharing the load in the frontcourt. Currently, the only drawback to the scheme is a lower probability for double-doubles from Adebayo.

Rotowire
Adebayo (calf) is available for Friday's game against Indiana, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Adebayo will shake off his questionable tag due to a right calf contusion and suit up for his fifth consecutive appearance Friday. Over his last 10 outings, the star big man has averaged 21.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 35.7 minutes per contest.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Efficient effort in blowout win
Rotowire
Adebayo closed Wednesday's 131-109 win over the Hawks with 20 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes.
Tyler Herro led the Heat in scoring in this win, but Adebayo certainly made his presence felt on both ends of the court, missing just three of his 12 shots and also ending one board shy of a double-double. Adebayo was doubtful prior to this game due to a calf contusion, but it's clear the injury didn't bother him once the action started. Adebayo is averaging 19.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals per game in four outings since the All-Star break.

Rotowire
Adebayo (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Abedayo was initially listed as questionable due to a calf contusion, but the star big man will suit up for this contest and should handle his regular workload. The star big man has appeared in three consecutive contests since missing the club's final game before the All-Star break, during which he has averaged 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 36.3 minutes per contest.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Adebayo is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to a right calf contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Kevin Love and Kel'el Ware (ankle) could see a bump in minutes if Adebayo is sidelined.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Records double-double
Rotowire
Adebayo (knee) closed Friday's 120-111 overtime victory over Toronto with 19 points (8-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes.
Adebayo was held out of the Heat's final game before the All-Star break Feb. 13 in Dallas due to a bruised left knee, but he was likely just getting some maintenance for the second leg of a back-to-back seat. He was back in action Friday and came away with his third straight double-double and his fourth in his last five appearances. Adebayo has embraced a bigger role on both ends of the court since Jimmy Butler got suspended and subsequently traded, and his numbers back that up. He's averaging 22.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 0.9 blocks per game in seven games since the beginning of February.
