As Bam Adebayo’s MRI looms, Heat returns home hoping for good news: ‘We just got to wait and see’

As Bam Adebayo’s MRI Looms, Heat Returns Home Hoping for Good News

The Miami Heat and Bam Adebayo have entered a tense waiting period. After wrapping up a four-game road trip in Denver, the team flew back to Miami late Wednesday night, facing more than just the frustration of a 122–112 loss to the Nuggets that left them with a 1–3 trip and an even 4–4 record for the season.

The main concern was centered around Bam Adebayo, who exited the game in the first quarter due to a left foot injury and did not return. His absence left the locker room uneasy as players packed up, unsure of their leader’s condition.

“We don’t know right now,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before leaving Denver. “It’s his left foot, so we’ll find out more Thursday.”

Adebayo, a three-time All-Star center and team captain, is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday in Miami to assess the extent of the damage.

“We’ll figure it out,” Adebayo said at his locker. “Get more tests Thursday and then see how it goes.”

With two games coming up in quick succession at Kaseya Center, Adebayo’s availability remains uncertain. The Heat return home to open a four-game homestand, starting with their first in-season tournament matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night at 8 p.m.
