Bam Adebayo Fantasy Stats

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) will be available against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night. The Heat have uprgaded his status from questionable to available. Adebayo was out for six games after spraining his left big toe. As a result of his return, Kel'el Ware will likely land in the second unit for Wednesday's game. However, Ware should still have a significant role to play in the rotation, and there might even be more minutes than usual available for Miami's bench mob on Wednesday, as the Warriors will play with a weakened team.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. This marks a positive development, as Adebayo has missed six consecutive games without even getting a doubtful designation on the injury report. Kel'el Ware has looked great as Adebayo's replacement in the starting lineup, averaging 12.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks over the last six games. Even with Adebayo back, Ware will continue to have decent fantasy value. But he must settle for a smaller role in the rotation.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) will remain sidelined for a sixth straight game on Monday night against the New York Knicks. The star big man hurt his left big toe in a game earlier this month. Adebayo practiced on Sunday, which may indicate that he could be ready to return soon. After hosting the Knicks, Miami's next game will be on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Kel'el Ware is looking at another start at center on Monday. He had a 15-point, 10-rebound double-double, along with three blocks, in Friday's 140-132 loss to the Knicks.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's big NBA Cup matchup against the New York Knicks. This will be his fifth consecutive absence after Adebayo sprained his left big toe. Kel'el Ware has returned to the first unit during Adebayo's injury layoff, producing some impressive performances, including a 20-rebound effort on Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Overall, Ware has averaged 10.0 points and 9.8 rebounds in 24.2 minutes as a starter this season. Friday's matchup looks like a tough one on paper for Ware, as defensive specialist Mitchell Robinson is expected to play, and the Knicks have the fifth-highest rebounding rate in the league.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) will miss a fourth straight game on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The two-time Olympic champion recently sprained his left big toe. Adebayo was initially wearing a walking boot, but he didn't have one on when getting some practice reps in on Tuesday. This is an encouraging development and could indicate that the Heat star will be ready to return to action soon. Until then, Kel'el Ware will continue to start at center. He had a big game on Monday against the Cavaliers, finishing a 140-138 overtime victory with 14 points and a career-high 20 rebounds. On Wednesday, Ware will face an Evan Mobley-less Cleveland frontcourt, giving him a good opportunity to do more damage in the matchup.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) will remain out for Monday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He exited the 122-112 loss to the Denver Nuggets, with a subsequent MRI revealing a great toe sprain. While Adebayo is currently classified as day-to-day, there are reports that he may be on the shelf for weeks, possibly over a month. Of course, that wouldn't be an ideal scenario for fantasy managers, considering he's averaging 19.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals this season. With that in mind, Miami will run smaller than usual, at least when Kel'el Ware isn't on the floor. Guys like Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Pelle Larsson are the favorites to lead the way offensively until Adebayo or Tyler Herro (ankle, foot) are back on the court.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday night's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This will be Adebayo's second straight game missed after sustaining the toe injury against the Nuggets earlier in the week. With the injury fairly fresh, and Miami on the second leg of a back-to-back, more time to let it heal is probably the right idea. Additionally, the 28-year-old was seen in a walking boot during last night's game against the Hornets. He's still considered day-to-day, but it's fair to assume that Miami is going to proceed with caution regarding their big man's health. With him out, expect Kel'el Ware to get another start. Ware is averaging 9.8 PPG and 7.2 RPG this season. With more minutes, he should be a solid start in both fantasy and DFS formats.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (toe) has been listed as out for Friday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. He sprained his left big toe on Wednesday night against the Denver Nuggets, exiting the action after logging only eight minutes of playing time. The team considers Adebayo day-to-day, meaning he isn't expected to be out for long. As a result of Adebayo's injury, Miami will likely bring Kel'el Ware back into the starting unit on Friday. Ware posted his first double-double of the season against Denver with 13 points and 13 rebounds, and Adebayo's absence will significantly increase his fantasy value.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (knee) sat out most of the second half of Monday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. The team announced that Adebayo had sustained a right knee contusion. Before exiting, Adebayo put up 13 points and had nine rebounds with three assists in 19 minutes. After a trip to the locker room, Adebayo cheered on his team from the bench, indicating that the injury doesn't seem serious. It's possible he might have even continued playing if it had been an important game. Still, ideally, a player would want to be fully healthy with a week to go before the regular-season opener. Miami begins the action on Oct. 22 against the Orlando Magic.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (rest) will be available for Wednesday's play-in clash against the Chicago Bulls. The Heat star dealt with a back issue late during the regular season and was rested for Sunday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Adebayo has averaged 10.8 points and 10.5 rebounds across four career play-in games. However, he will be expected to do more offensively this year, with Jimmy Butler III out of town. During the regular season, Adebayo was a 21-point scorer against the Bulls, adding 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game to his tally.
