With the Miami Heat preparing for a playoff push<\/a> with 14 games left in the regular season, the two main goals are to avoid the play-in tournament and stay healthy. As the Heat’s loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday<\/a> night saw the return of Norman Powell<\/a> and Tyler Herro<\/a>, Bam Adebayo<\/a> has found himself on the injury report for the team’s upcoming game.<\/p>\n

Tuesday’s road contest against the Charlotte Hornets (34-34) is no doubt a big one for Miami to get after, as the team’s next five games are against teams with winning records. Those teams are the Los Angeles Lakers (42-25) on Thursday, the Houston Rockets (41-25) on Saturday, the San Antonio Spurs (49-18) next Monday, and the Cleveland Cavaliers (41-27, facing them twice next Wednesday and Friday).<\/p>\n

However, Miami’s captain, Adebayo, has been added to the team’s injury report ahead of the clash against the Hornets, being listed as \u201cquestionable\u201d<\/a> with right calf tightness.<\/p>\n

The star is coming off what is likely the best week of his career, with Tuesday’s win over the Washington Wizards including Adebayo’s historic 83-point game, passing Kobe Bryan’s 81 to make him have the second-highest scoring game in the NBA ever.<\/p>\n

Though the performance has had a polarizing reaction, no one can take away the history that the 28-year-old made, with the NBA obviously awarding him Eastern Conference Player of the Week<\/a>. However, he is at risk of missing Tuesday’s game against the Hornets, which is a team that has a .500 record; they are 18-7 in their last 25 games.<\/p>\n

Plus, the contest has implications in the East standings, as every game remaining in the regular season is against the Heat at 38-30, putting them seventh in the conference. They are a half-game back of the Toronto Raptors, who own the sixth seed, which is the spot Miami is hunting for at least, which would have them avoid the play-in tourney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the Miami Heat preparing for a playoff push with 14 games left in the regular season, the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661921,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3777],"tags":[1179,7,684,473,3878,685,189,6,14502,558,492],"class_list":{"0":"post-661920","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-charlotte-hornets","8":"tag-bam-adebayo","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-charlotte","11":"tag-charlotte-hornets","12":"tag-charlottehornets","13":"tag-hornets","14":"tag-miami-heat","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-nba-injury","17":"tag-norman-powell","18":"tag-tyler-herro"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116241527364324094","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
