Bam Adebayo Fantasy Stats

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo is untouchable and won't be traded in the offseason, team president Pat Riley announced on Monday. At his annual end-of-the-season news conference, Riley joked he would consider trading Adebayo only if offered eight draft picks and Victor Wembanyama. The team plans to continue building around Adebayo, who has spent his entire nine-year NBA career in Miami. In 2025-26, Adebayo averaged a double-double for the fourth time, posting 20.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. On March 10, the three-time All-Star recorded the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, notching 83 points in a 150-129 victory over the Washington Wizards. Adebayo won't turn 30 until 2027 and should remain a top fantasy contributor for several more years.

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball is being investigated by the NBA for his trip of Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo (back) in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports. The two collided in the second quarter, and Adebayo exited the game after the incident due to a lower-back injury. Sources have told ESPN's Shams Charania that the NBA has contacted both teams and will interview Ball. A ruling is expected before Friday's play-in game, in which the Hornets will face the loser of Wednesday's Philadelphia-Orlando matchup. It's possible the Ball play will be upgraded to a flagrant foul 1 or 2, but there likely won't be a suspension. Ball scored a game-winning layup in Tuesday's 127-126 overtime victory, finishing with 30 points, five rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and one block.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) won't return on Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. The big man injured his lower back during a fall in the second quarter and will be limited to just 11 minutes in this crucial play-in game. With Adebayo out, Kel'el Ware will hold down the fort at center and could finish with a monster line, having already recorded a double-double in three quarters while adding five blocks.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable to return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Charlotte Hornets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. The three-time All-Star exited the action in the second quarter after taking a hard fall. Adebayo had six points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 11 minutes before his early departure, sinking all three field-goal attempts. Jaime Jaquez Jr. started the second half in Adebayo's place.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (calf) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Adebayo was previously listed as probable after sitting out Tuesday's contest due to calf tightness. The 28-year-old big man has been dominant of late, averaging 34.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks across 37.6 minutes per game over his last five outings. He should remain locked into fantasy lineups during the playoffs. Kel'el Ware is expected to see a reduced role with Adebayo back in action, while Tyler Herro and Norman Powell should continue to provide fantasy managers with consistent offensive production.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (calf) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers after sitting out Tuesday due to calf tightness. The veteran big man has been dominant recently, averaging 34.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.6 three-pointers, 1.8 steals, and 1.2 blocks in 37.6 minutes over his last five games. He should remain locked into fantasy lineups during the playoffs. Kel'el Ware could see fewer frontcourt opportunities with Adebayo likely back, while Tyler Herro and Norman Powell should still see their normal touches on offense.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (calf) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Adebayo was a late addition to the injury report as questionable with calf tightness. The Heat have ultimately decided to have him sit this game out. Kel'el Ware should move into the starting five with Adebayo unavailable for this contest. He's already someone worth rostering in most fantasy formats, but will certainly see an uptick in value now. Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr. should also see more action on the court, but Ware is the biggest winner here.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (calf) is now doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Hornets after originally being listed as questionable. Adebayo has had 21 points and 20 points in his two games since exploding for 83 points a week ago, but it looks like he won't get a chance to continue his productive run until the Heat play again on Thursday against the Lakers. This will be Bam's first absence since December, as the versatile big man has averaged 20.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 31.9 minutes, while playing 60 of Miami's 68 games this season. Kel'el Ware will likely step up in his place and is a strong option to consider for DFS contests or if you need to stream a center on Tuesday.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (calf) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He is experiencing tightness in his right calf, and Adebayo might miss his first game of 2026 as a result. Without Adebayo, Kel'el Ware would have a much bigger role in the frontcourt, while Myron Gardner or Simone Fontecchio could get a chance to start. On the offensive side, Norman Powell and Tyler Herro would handle a larger load.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo delivered a historic performance against the Wizards, erupting for 83 points while shooting 20-for-43 from the field, 7-for-22 from three-point range, and 36-for-43 at the free-throw line. The 28-year-old's scoring total ranks second all time behind Wilt Chamberlain's 100 and ahead of Kobe Bryant's 81. Adebayo also dominated usage throughout the night and could continue carrying Miami's offense if Tyler Herro (quadriceps), Norman Powell (groin), and Andrew Wiggins (toe) remain limited by injuries. His massive workload caps the value of secondary options like Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kel'el Ware (shoulder).
