Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo put together a solid two-way performance in Game 3 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He scored 12 points, grabbed 11 rebounds, dished out five assists, and blocked one shot in a game the Heat won by a final score of 121-99. So when Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and the Bucks re-visit the Kaseya Center on Monday night to play the Heat, every Heat fan will surely be dying to know: Is Bam Adebayo playing tonight in Game 4 vs. the Bucks after he popped up on the injury report?
Bam Adebayo injury status vs. Bucks
Adebayo was listed as probable for Monday's showdown due to a left hamstring strain, per the NBA's official injury report, and the Heat star has since been cleared to play.
Bam Adebayo, 25, is in his sixth year in the NBA, all as a member of the storied Heat franchise. He averaged 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game across 75 appearances this season (all starts).
The former Kentucky star shot the ball with great accuracy from the free-throw line in the 2022-23 campaign, at least by his standards — Adebayo's 80.6% free-throw percentage was the highest of his pro career.
Game 4 should be a good one in Miami. Giannis Antetokounmpo is good to go for the Bucks after missing the last two games, and the top seed in the East will play with a desperation after going down 2-1. Jimmy Butler will be in the lineup as well after suffering a glute injury in Game 3.
But with regard to the question, is Bam Adebayo playing tonight in Game 4 vs. the Bucks, the answer is yes.
