What happened to Bam Adebayo? Live injury updates for Heat vs. Nuggets on 11/5/25
🩺 Injury Update
- Adebayo exited early in the game with a left foot injury after playing just about 8 minutes in the first half.
- He is listed as questionable to return.
- No official full update yet on expected return timeline.
🔍 Impact & What to Watch
- His early exit removes a key defensive and rebounding presence for Miami.
- If he cannot return, the Heat will likely rely more on backups like Kel’el Ware (who has stepped in before) and adjust their rotated front-court minutes.
- For Denver, it’s an opportunity to exploit matchups inside and rebound against a weakened Heat front-line.
✅ Bottom Line
While Adebayo is still in the “questionable” status, his early departure and unknown return elevate risk that the Heat will play without one of their most important players for a significant portion of this game.
