Heat's Bam Adebayo: Set to play against Orlando
Adebayo (rest) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.
Adebayo will return to action Wednesday alongside most of the team's starters after sitting out Miami's preseason finale for rest purposes. The 27-year-old big man has shown an improved outside shot during the preseason and will likely look to increase his average of 0.6 three-point attempts per contest from last season.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Sitting out Friday
Adebayo won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Grizzlies for rest purposes, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Hits for 20 in preseason win
Adebayo scored 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT) while adding three rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason win over the Spurs.
The veteran center led all scorers on the night while also making an impact on the defensive end in an efficient performance. Adebayo has averaged a double-double in three of the last five campaigns while producing at least 2.0 steals-plus-blocks a game in all five of those seasons. There's no reason to suspect the 27-year-old's numbers are going to suddenly decline in 2024-25.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Extends range in preseason
Adebayo tallied 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 17 minutes in Tuesday's 111-108 preseason loss to the Hornets.
Adebayo led the Heat starters in minutes played and points. He averaged just 0.6 3PA/G during the 2023-24 regular season, but the three-time All-Star has worked on extending his range during the offseason and the Paris Olympics. Adebayo averaged 19.3 points per game during the regular season last year, but that bumped up to 22.6 points per contest during the Heat's first-round playoff series against the Celtics due to Jimmy Butler being sidelined with an MCL sprain. With Butler entering his 14th NBA season, Adebayo could be tasked with taking on a larger scoring role during the 2024-25 campaign.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Efficient off bench
Adebayo recorded 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Team USA's 103-86 win over South Sudan on Wednesday.
Adebayo didn't see much volume during Sunday's win over Serbia, but he was much more efficient during Wednesday's matchup despite coming off the bench once again. His impact could regress if Joel Embiid returns to the team's rotation, but it was encouraging to see him lead the club in scoring while tying for team-high marks in rebounds and blocks during Wednesday's matchup.
