Termed questionable for Friday Adebayo (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Wizards, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Adebayo was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game as well before being ruled out, so the designation doesn't provide much clarity for the upcoming contest. Nikola Jovic could line up for a second consecutive start if Adebayo sits again.

Won't play Wednesday Adebayo (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto.

Impact Adebayo will miss his first game of the season due to a left knee contusion. Dewayne Dedmon (foot) is considered questionable, while Udonis Haslem (personal) and Omer Yurtseven (ankle) aren't with the team, so Miami may be extremely shorthanded against the Raptors. If Dedmon is also ruled out, Nikola Jovic, Haywood Highsmith and two-way big man Orlando Robinson would all be candidates for increased roles.

Questionable against Toronto Adebayo is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Raptors due to a left knee contusion.

Impact Adebayo is coming off his season high in scoring versus the Suns and has not missed a game yet in 2022-23. With Dewayne Dedmon (foot) also questionable, the Heat will likely give extended minutes to rookie Nikola Jovic if either big can't go. If Adebayo can't play Wednesday, his next opportunity will be Friday's game versus the Wizards.

Impact Adebayo recorded his fifth double-double in the last six games, going for a season-high 30 points. While his defensive numbers were a little subdued, he more than made up for it with a dominant offensive performance, including 14 trips to the line. After a somewhat slow start, he is now rolling and looks more like the player managers had been hoping for when drafting him.

Records big double-double Saturday Adebayo finished with 24 points (11-18 FG, 2-3 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 132-115 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Adebayo led all players with 15 boards and finished second with 24 points. He was an efficient 11-for-18 from the field and chipped in four dimes to round out a strong overall line. Adebayo has five double-doubles on the season, including one in each of his past two games.

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to form Adebayo accumulated 18 points (6-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 117-112 overtime win over the Hornets.

Impact Adebayo has now registered three double-doubles in his last four games. He set a new season-best with 14 rebounds and also was asked to handle his heaviest workload of the year. Adebayo is averaging 18.2 points, 9.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists on 51.4 percent shooting from the field over five games in November.

Impact Adebayo scored half of his points in the second quarter of this one, knocking down four of five attempts from the field before heading to the break. He did have a below-average night in terms of rebounding, setting his lowest mark of the young season (11 games). However, this appears to be just a blip on the radar for Adebayo, who was averaging 8.4 points heading into Monday's matchup.

Tallies third double-double Adebayo racked up 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 101-99 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Adebayo recorded his second double-double in as many games, continuing to score with efficiency while contributing in the assists category. The veteran center's rebounding numbers have been slightly down through his first 10 contests of the 2022-23 campaign (8.4) compared to a season ago (10.1 boards in 56 games), but he has been strong in nearly every other category for fantasy managers.

Impact As expected, Adebayo will play through a bruised knee. Over the past five games, he's averaged 21.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks in 34.6 minutes.

Intends to play Friday Coach Erik Spoelstra said that Adebayo (knee) is planning to play in Friday's game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Adebayo is still officially listed as questionable, but he was able to participate in Friday's shootaround session and appears likely to take the floor against the Pacers based on Spoelstra's comments. Through the first nine games of the year, Adebayo has averaged 17.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 steals and one block across 35.0 minutes per contest.

Participates in shootaround Adebayo (knee) participated in Friday's shootaround, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Adebayo is questionable for Friday's matchup against Indiana due to a right knee contusion, but his participation in the team's morning shootaround is encouraging. However, coach Erik Spoelstra said the team will wait to see how Adebayo feels in the hours after the shootaround before determining his status for the game.

Questionable Friday Adebayo is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers due to a right knee contusion.

Impact Miami could be quite shorthanded Friday, as Jimmy Butler (hip) has already been ruled out, and Omer Yurtsevem (ankle) isn't ready to play. If Adebayo is shelved, expect a significant minutes boost for Dewayne Dedmon.

Records double-double Adebayo posted 20 points (9-16 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and six assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 110-107 win over the Kings.

Impact Adebayo had a solid night on Wednesday, scoring eight points in the first half on 4-of-8 shooting and capping the game off with another eight points in the fourth quarter. The center recorded a double-double in the contest for just the second time this season while also adding six assists, five of which came in the second half. Adebayo has now recorded six assists in back-to-back games, though he was charged with five fouls, and has been charged with four or more fouls in each of his last three contests.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Well-rounded line in defeat Adebayo registered 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 38 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 119-113 loss to the Kings.

Impact While it's true that Adebayo hasn't had the start of the season many fantasy managers were hoping for, it's also true that the big man is now trending in the right direction. He's posted back-to-back games with 20-plus points for the first time in the campaign, and he's now logged multiple blocks in three of his last four appearances while also being a steady presence on the glass.

Delivers bounce-back performance Adebayo supplied 26 points (10-13 FG, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, three blocks and four steals in 38 minutes during Thursday's 123-110 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Adebayo ended two rebounds shy of a double-double while also putting up season-high numbers in points, steals and blocks. As if that wasn't enough, his 10-for-13 shooting effort was also his best output of the season, something that's noteworthy given the shooting woes he endured in the first few games of the season. The numbers are still there, and this game was a step in the right direction when it comes to improving the efficiency.

Puts up 18 points in win Adebayo notched 18 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-98 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Adebayo has had efficiency issues to start the season, but those shouldn't be a long-term problem and Wednesday's outing was already a step in the right direction. The big man has scored in double digits while grabbing at least seven rebounds in every one of his five appearances, though, so it's not like as if he's been struggling massively, either.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

First double-double of season Adebayo chipped in 14 points (4-14 FG, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 98-90 loss to the Raptors.

Impact The center's counting stats were great, but his inefficiency is hurting fantasy managers in category leagues. Adebayo is shooting a mere 45.7 percent from the field after four games. That's a small sample, and it will presumably improve since Adebayo has never shot below 51 percent in any of his previous five seasons.
