Bam Adebayo Struggles with Shooting in Miami

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo is experiencing one of the worst shooting slumps of his career, averaging only 15.6 points per game with a field goal percentage of 41.9%, the lowest since he became a starter. His recent performance against the Boston Celtics saw him score 15 points on 6-of-18 shooting, with significant struggles around the rim, hitting just 57.5% of his attempts at the basket. Adebayo remains confident, stating that he believes his shooting will improve and emphasizes the importance of not overthinking his game. His teammate Tyler Herro defended him, highlighting Adebayo's overall impact on the game despite his shooting woes. Coach Erik Spoelstra also expressed concern over Adebayo’s missed opportunities but praised his contributions to the team defensively. The Heat, currently at a 9-10 record, urgently need Adebayo to regain his shooting form as they face upcoming challenging matchups.
