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).

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. As expected, Adebayo is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report due to right hip tightness. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep him out of action, so fantasy managers should expect Adebayo to have his normal workload. Over his last 10 games, Adebayo is averaging 21.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 32.6 minutes per game. Fantasy managers need to make sure Adebayo is active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota and is expected to play through mild lower back soreness. Adebayo has continued to anchor the frontcourt, averaging 13.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 31.6 minutes over his last five games. His availability keeps Kel'el Ware in a secondary but viable role, with occasional double-double upside when minutes hold, while Andrew Wiggins maintains steady wing usage. Adebayo remains a firm hold with reliable multi-category production.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) will return to the lineup on Monday against the Denver Nuggets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. The talented big man has been nursing a lower back injury lately, missing two games. Pelle Larsson filled in for Adebayo in the starting lineup and will likely drop back to the bench on Monday, despite a pair of quality performances. Adebayo had a two-point dud in his first meeting with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets this season. His recent form isn't encouraging either, as Adebayo has finished two of his last four appearances with fewer than 10 points.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) is probable heading into Monday's meeting with the visiting Nuggets after missing the last two games because of lower back soreness. Assuming Adebayo is cleared to return, he should immediately find a spot in all fantasy lineups. With that said, his presence will likely result in Pelle Larsson, who had 16 points, seven assists, and one block as a starter in Friday's win over the Pacers, heading back to the bench. Jaime Jaquez Jr., coming off a 28-point effort, may have issues staying as productive if Adebayo is back on the floor.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) won't play on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, marking his second-straight absence. It's unknown if he'll suit up on Monday night versus Denver. However, while Adebayo is sidelined, Kel'el Ware (quadriceps), who is available, Normal Powell, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. should also continue to benefit on both ends of the floor. Pelle Larsson, who had 21 points as a starter in Friday's win over the Atlanta Hawks, should also remain more involved.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) won't play on Friday against Atlanta. He hasn't missed a game in over a month. However, Adebayo is dealing with lower back soreness, so fantasy managers are hoping to see him back out there on Saturday versus the Indiana Pacers. While Bam is sidelined, Kel'el Ware should get all of the work he can handle at the five spot. There's a good chance Jaime Jaquez Jr. finds his way into the starting lineup. With that said, any player on the Heat roster could exceed their usual fantasy projections in a meeting with a Hawks team that has struggled defensively throughout the 2025 campaign.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks as Miami opens a back-to-back set. His availability across both games remains unclear. If Adebayo is held out, Kel'el Ware would likely absorb the majority of center minutes after averaging 17.0 points, 13.4 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 26.6 minutes over his last five games. Jaime Jaquez Jr. has logged 32.9 minutes per game during that span, while Simone Fontecchio's role would remain situational.

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 Warehas 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.
