Miami Heat forward Bad Adebayo just entered the bubble last week, much later than his teammates. As such, there are worries about whether or not he's back in game shape. But if he's concerned, he only needs one game to get back to his old form.
Per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Adebayo gave an epic response on when he'll be back to a hundred percent.
How long will it take Bam Adebayo to get to 100 percent?
Adebayo: "Give me another game."

Adebayo played his first scrimmage game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. The 23-year-old chipped in 16 points, four rebounds, and three assists in 25 minutes of action. These are very close to his season averages of 16.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists across 34.3 minutes.
Adebayo, who was named an All-Star this season for the first time in his career, has been one of the main reasons why the Heat are considered a dark horse to win the title. Their record stands at 41-24 for third place in the East. In the eight remaining seeding games, they have a chance to move up to the fourth spot.
At the beginning of the season, analysts merely considered the Heat a mid-tier team with a chance to make waves after a season or two. But then, Heat president Pat Riley made significant roster moves and beefed up his squad. At the trade deadline, they acquired veteran forwards Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder. This move triggered analysts to reconsider their forecasts for the Heat. Now, most of them believe that the Heat have a good shot at coming out of the East and eventually winning the title.
