Heat coach Erik Spoelstra expressed uncertainty about Adebayo's injury before departing Denver. He said,
“We don’t know right now. It’s his left foot, so we’ll find out more [Thursday].”
Adebayo, a three-time All-Star and the team's captain, is scheduled for an MRI in Miami on Thursday to assess the injury’s severity. He commented,
