The Miami Heat are catching up with two of their top players just as the NBA is about to start again.
Bam Adebayo and Kendrick Nunn have returned to the club within the championship bubble near Orlando, Florida, the team announced Tuesday.

The two were previously absent from practices for undisclosed reasons.
The Heat had been mum for Adebayo and Nunn’s missing time, but that didn’t stop the team from celebrating the attacker’s birthday as they waited for his arrival.

As for speed on the pitch, Miami can use its last eight games of the regular season as a setup. The Heat have already conquered a playoff point, and although their current position as seed no. 4 in the Eastern Conference is not yet consolidated, there is no advantage in the field with all the games taking place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Adebayo and Nunn have a week to practice with their teammates before the Miami season resumes on August 1 against the Denver Nuggets.
On July 10, shortly after the club’s arrival in Orlando, guard Goran Dragic said Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel hoped that the Heat could “do some harm” once Adebayo and Nunn returned.
The Miami guard and fans got their wish. He is now on the two to quickly make up for lost time and prepare for a post-season like no other.
