Bam Adebayo Injury Update
Bam Adebayo left the Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets game on Wednesday after suffering a left foot injury. The 28-year-old was listed as questionable beforehand but did not return to the court. At the time of reporting, Miami trailed 122-112 in the fourth quarter.
Details of the Injury
Anthony Chiang from the Miami Herald shared an update on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
Bam Adebayo not on the court for the start of the second half. Kel'el Ware starting in Adebayo's place.
Adebayo was injured just eight minutes into the game and appeared to be in significant pain, which forced him off the floor.
Fan Reactions
-
Obviously Bam going down was unexpected but still competing vs the #1 offense and a top 5 defense is still so much to build off of. Last year's team would’ve lost by 35. There shouldn’t ever be a rebound disparity of 20 rebounds that deflating and gives the other team more attempts.

Was always going to be tough with Bam. Made impossible once he didn’t come back in. Proud of the effort the group showed.. hopefully Nikola Jokic can give Niko some advice while he's there. Hopefully Bam’s injury isn’t too bad, but the fact there wasn’t an update concerns me.
Performance Before Injury
Before leaving the game, Adebayo was averaging 22.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists on 46% shooting.
