As of April 13–14, 2026, Bam Adebayo left the Heat’s Play-In game against the Charlotte Hornets after a fall/trip and was taken to the locker room with a back-related injury. Updates at that time indicated he was questionable to return and later ruled out for the remainder of that game, with a status update to follow before the next contest. This sequence suggests a lower-body/back issue rather than a long-term absence, but exact prognosis depended on MRI/medical evaluation in the hours that followed.
