Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo could miss his second straight game on Tuesday when his team takes on the Milwaukee Bucks in a highly-anticipated Eastern Conference showdown. Adebayo was sidelined on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets, and he is now in danger of sitting out again.
Miami Heat Star Bam Adebayo Upgraded for Milwaukee Bucks Bout
The good news for Heat fans is that there’s a good chance Adebayo will be able to return to action against the Bucks. This is after the two-time All-Star was upgraded to probable ahead of Tuesday’s showdown against Milwaukee. He is currently dealing with a left hip contusion.
The fact that Adebayo was reportedly able to practice in full on Monday is further indication that he should be good to go against the Bucks.
The Heat Will Need Adebayo
Miami is dealing with a slew of injuries right now, which will likely have a significant impact on Adebayo’s status for Tuesday night.
Jimmy Butler is questionable to play with a sprained ankle, while Tyler Herro has already been ruled out as he continues to nurse a right ankle injury. Duncan Robinson is also on the injury report with a thumb sprain, but the sharpshooter is listed as probable.
R.J. Hampton and Dru Smith remain out, while Haywood Highsmith is questionable to play.
