Bam Adebayo Ruled Out for Heat vs. 76ers

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a back injury, marking his first absence since February 13. Initially listed as questionable, Adebayo's condition worsened after the team's recent loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. This injury comes at a crucial time for the Heat, who are currently in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and seeking to improve their standings ahead of the NBA Play-In Tournament. Meanwhile, the Sixers are struggling significantly, on an 11-game losing streak and with a 23-55 record for the season. The Heat are favored to win against the Sixers, who are also dealing with their own injury issues. If Adebayo remains sidelined, other players like Kyle Anderson and Kel'el Ware may see increased playing time.
