According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Bam Adebayo could return to action against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. The Miami Heath senior missed 20 consecutive games after the team lost 120-111 to Denver Augs on November 29.
Adebayo was recovering from thumb surgery. Although the team is doing well without him and the other star Jimmy Butler, his presence will only add to the heat. Butler has missed 18 games with an ankle injury. Miami (26-15) has won three consecutive games and 16 of the last 20 to advance to the Eastern Conference.
As Wojnarowski tweeted, Adebayo has been making adjustments and looks good on his return to work.
"Six weeks ago, after undergoing right thumb surgery, Miami Heat All-Star Center Bam Adebayo is set to compete with Toronto Raptors on Monday, sources told ESPN this week."
Miami Heat All-Star Center Bam Adebayo is set to compete with Toronto Raptors on Monday, sources told ESPN, after undergoing right thumb surgery six weeks ago. Adebayo – with an average of 18.7 points and 10.2 points – is pushing the court this week.
In the absence of Adebayo, caller Dedmon was the starting line-up, with beginner Omar Yursseven having extra playing time and 41-year-old Odonis Haslem coming on. Returning to the playoffs will be good news for the heat, which will give you enough time to get back to speed well before the game.
Miami went 13-7 (7-2 last 9) after losing Adebayo and now sits # 2 in the East.

How much does Bam Adebayo affect heat?
Miami Heat Bam Adebayo drips the ball
It's great to have a man as versatile as Bam Adebayo. Being able to switch to defense with options and general conditions still makes things difficult for little fast guards.
However, its presence in color is not as dominant as many would like it to be. Adebayo could have a problem with major centers such as Joel Imbid and Nicola Jocci. Beyond that, he is a two-way player.
Adebaio has shown over the years that although the team is always on the lookout for offensive encouragement, Adebayo has been trusted. It may not explode at 50 points per game, but it does other things to win the team.
