Star Heat center Bam Adebayo is set to return after playing just one game so far in March. Via the Sun Sentinel:
For Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo, the past two weeks have provided the unlikely combination of boredom and joy.
He said Tuesday that is why he is glad to be back in the mix after missing four games with knee tendinitis.
Asked after the morning shootaround at AmericanAirlines Arena what it was like to be reduced to spectator, having not previously missed a game due to injury the past two seasons, he said, “bored as hell.”
But he said the Heat going 4-0 during that span took away some of the edge.
“I mean, obviously seeing my teammates win and have that joy, you want to be part of that,” he said. “So, I was sitting there and I’m bored as hell.”
The 21-18 Heat, after a slow start to the season, are on a roll as of late.
Adebayo this season is averaging 19.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.0 blocks per game. He last played on March 2, in a loss to the Hawks.
