Won't return Tuesday
Adebayo (back) won't return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets. He'll finish with six points (3-3 FG), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes.
Analysis
This is a huge loss for the Heat, as Adebayo is one of Miami's go-to options on offense while also operating as the anchor on the defensive end. Without Adebayo, look for Kel'el Ware to continue handling a bigger role in the frontcourt for Miami.

Questionable to return
Adebayo is questionable to return to Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Hornets due to a lower-back injury.
Analysis
Adebayo took a hard fall early in the second quarter and is in jeopardy of missing the remainder of the contest. Kel'el Ware should help pick up the slack while Adebayo is on the sideline.

Double-doubles with five stocks
Adebayo finished with 25 points (11-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 143-117 victory over the Hawks.
Analysis
Adebayo came out firing for Miami, pouring in 17 points on just 10 shots in the first half while also making an impact on the glass. It marked his 35th double-double of the season, and he closed his 2025-26 campaign with double-doubles in 10 of his final 13 games.

Short of triple-double once again
Adebayo finished with 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes in Friday's 140-117 win over Washington.
Analysis
Adebayo nearly had a triple-double in Thursday's 128-114 loss to Toronto. While the 28-year-old fell short once again Friday, it was still another impressive performance. He has cooled off on the scoring end throughout five games in April. However, Adebayo has made up for it by averaging 5.6 assists while shooting 42.9 percent from deep during that span.

Flirts with triple-double Thursday
Adebayo logged 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during the Heat's 128-114 loss to the Raptors on Thursday.
Analysis
Adebayo's 10 points in the third quarter helped the Heat cut the deficit to single digits. He ended up leading Miami in both points and rebounds and finished two assists shy of registering the ninth triple-double of his NBA career. Adebayo has posted eight double-doubles over his last 11 games since March 19, and over that span, he has averaged 20.1 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.2 steals over 35.1 minutes.
