Miami Heat’s Bam Adebayo had a frightening moment during a game against the Utah Jazz when he collided with teammate Duncan Robinson, causing him to briefly leave the court for treatment. Despite the scare, Adebayo returned to finish the game, contributing to the team’s victory. Speaking to the media afterward, he joked that Robinson had set him up for the collision.
Adebayo was vague about the specific injury he sustained, simply stating that he received treatment on his body. However, he reassured reporters that it wasn’t serious, as he was able to return and play well, scoring 23 points, grabbing seven rebounds, and dishing out three assists.
The Heat also saw forward Caleb Martin suffer a minor injury when he was accidentally hit in the mouth by Jimmy Butler. Although Martin needed six stitches, the injury is not expected to keep him out for long. Butler, who scored a season-high 37 points in the game, jokingly described the incident, saying he didn’t realize who he had hit until he saw the person was “leaking” and needed stitches.
Despite the injuries, both Adebayo and Martin played key roles in the Heat’s victory. Adebayo praised Martin’s defensive efforts, particularly his chase-down blocks, highlighting them as crucial plays that often go unnoticed but contribute significantly to the team’s success.
