Butler, Adebayo score 22 each as Heat top Nuggets 125-105

Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo each scored 22 points to help the Miami Heat beat the Denver Nuggets 125-105 in the first restart game for both teams

AUGUST 1, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Season-high 20 points in re-opener Olynyk recorded 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Olynyk had one of his best games of the season Saturday, popping for a season-high 20 points in just 23 minutes, taking advantage of a short-handed Nuggets squad. It was the fifth time this season that he's drilled at least four three-pointers. The performance was also the first time Olynyk saw at least 20 minutes since Feb. 22 -- about half a month before the season went on hiatus.

Leads way against Jazz Olynyk scored a team-high 27 points (10-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT) while adding eight rebounds, two assists and a steal in 29 minutes off the bench during Saturday's scrimmage against...

Impact The Heat fell 101-99, but not from a lack of effort on Olynyk's part. With Bam Adebayo not quite ready to see game action, Olynyk will get plenty of run as Miami gears up for the resumption of the season, but his workload is likely to be a lot smaller when the games begin to count.

Is Kelly Olynyk the floor-spacer the Warriors are looking for? Warriors head coach wants to add a 3-point shooting big man, and Kelly Olynyk makes sense to target with the traded-player exception.

JULY 24, 2020 • MERCURYNEWS.COM

Steps up in first scrimmage game Olynyk posted 12 points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one blocked shot across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 104-98 scrimmage win over the Kings.

Impact Although Bam Adebayo is the unquestioned starter at center for Miami, his absence from the lineup provided an excellent opportunity for Olynyk, who is first in line to spell Adebayo when the season restarts. Although he didn't have much luck from beyond the arc on Wednesday, his facility with the long-range ball (43.2 percent over 56 games) allows him to be a big perimeter target as well as a viable pick-and-roll presence in the backcourt.

Not with team in bubble Adebayo is not with the Heat in the Orlando bubble, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact No word has been offered on whether Adebayo has COVID-19. If he's forced to miss any games, Meyers Leonard and Kelly Olynyk would likely see extra run. More information may be released in the coming days.
