Quality effort in victory Adebayo recorded 22 points (7-12 FG, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 28 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 win over the Nuggets.

Impact It was unusual that Adebayo, who averages 2.5 combined steals-plus-blocks, didn't record a defense stat, though it didn't hamper Miami on the way to a victory. Saturday's effort marked the 11th time this season that Adebayo has posted at least 22 points.

Scores 16 points in scrimmage Adebayo had 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds in Tuesday's scrimmage against Memphis.

Impact The Most Improved Player candidate had another strong outing and will be among the Heat's most important players as the seeding round begins later in the week. Adebayo also added three assists, two blocks and one steal.

Will play Tuesday Adebayo will return to action and start in Tuesday's scrimmage versus the Grizzlies, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Adebayo cleared quarantine last Thursday but did not participate in Saturday's scrimmage. Expect the Heat to ease their prized big man back into the swing of things in the exhibition contest. However, all signs point to him being ready to go for Saturday's bubble opener versus the Nuggets.

Doesn't expect to play Saturday Adebayo, who cleared quarantine Thursday, doesn't expect to play in Saturday's scrimmage, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Adebayo cleared quarantine Thursday, but it seems likely the coaching staff will want him to get more run in during practice before shifting to competitive basketball. If he doesn't play, his next chance to take the court will be Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

JULY 24, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Out of quarantine Adebayo (undisclosed) cleared quarantine Thursday and is now free to practice with the team, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Adebayo joined the Heat on Tuesday, and his quarantine went smoothly. He may see game action as soon as Saturday's scrimmage against the Jazz.

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.

Joins Heat in bubble Adebayo (undisclosed) joined the Heat in the Orlando bubble Tuesday, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
