CJ McCollum was not the only major player to sign a return to competition, after more than a month of absence, during this “Martin Luther King Day”. Indeed, Bam Adebayo, too, returned to the courts, while his last match dated November 29, 2021!
Seven weeks away from the floors therefore, in order to heal a torn thumb ligament, for the interior of the Heat and a fairly convincing return with 14 points at 4/12 to shoot and 9 rebounds in 32 minutes against Toronto.
“I just tried to find my rhythm in this game”, tells Bam Adebayo to ESPN. “We play and we try to find solutions. Being in the game was different and there were only good vibes in this game. »
In addition to returning, the Tokyo Olympic champion was also important to the Heat’s success. In legs in the second quarter, he then signed 5 points and 4 rebounds in the last quarter alone. His free throws in the final seconds sealed the victory for Floridians.
“You can see the energy he brings. With him, we are different and just on a human level, it’s great to have him with us., assure Erik Spoelstra. “He is the energy that drives the whole team”, continues Jimmy Butler.
