Bam Adebayo can breathe
When you get hurt, in a trivial action, it’s never a good sign. Especially when you leave the court and don’t come back… But Bam Adebayo’s tests revealed nothing serious as the Heat pivot suffered a sprained left big toe that became infected Wednesday night. after eight minutes against the Nuggets. What we do know is that it is package for tonight’s game against the Hornetsbut the medical staff specifies that he is not in the infirmary, and that he could return from the next match.
Hit against the Nuggets by a simple head-to-head, Adebayo feared a much more serious injury. “One player touched me with the back of his leg and I felt pain in my foot. Adebayo said. “I’d rather go out and check what’s going on. Better to avoid making things worse.”
The situation gets complicated for the Heat, because Kel’el Ware is the only other real pivot in the team, and against the Nuggets, Erik Spoelstra asked the “small” Keshad Johnson (1m98) to help under the panel, against Nikola Jokic. Without Adebayo, the Heat dominated offensive rebounding as the Nuggets grabbed 21 rebounds and scored 22 second-chance points.
“This is something we need to focus on” warned Norman Powell. “Regardless of Bam’s status, we have to be ready to set screens, to be physical, to go the extra mile to get rebounds.”
