13 Bam Adebayo C

Adebayo (rest) won't play during Saturday's summer league game against the Celtics, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

As expected, Adebayo, a veteran by summer league standards, will get Saturday's game off. In five appearances, he's averaged 14.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 25.5 minutes.

Adebayo will not play in Thursday's summer league game against the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Adebayo was rested for one of Miami's opening round games, as well, and the second-year big man will likely be done for the remainder of summer league. Adebayo had 24 points, nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in just 23 minutes Tuesday against the Jazz.

Adebayo (rest) rejoined the lineup for Tuesday's 90-98 win over the Jazz, posting 24 points (5-13 FG, 14-16 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and two block across 23 minutes.

Adebayo has been solid throughout summer league so far, but made his presence felt Tuesday and demanded the ball the entire time he was in the game. He scored a game-high 24 points and made a living at the free-throw line, getting off 16 attempts from the charity stripe, which by itself was more than the 12 total attempts from the Jazz squad as a whole. He added some impressive all-around production elsewhere across the box score and rewarded DFS owners who rostered him Tuesday. However, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that the Heat are considering holding Adebayo out of the final few summer league contests for rest, so it will be a situation to monitor closely over the coming few days.

Adebayo (rest) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's summer league game against the Jazz, Tom D'Angelo of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Adebayo got the night off for rest on Sunday, but as expected, will rejoin the lineup Tuesday following a one-game layoff. In four summer league outings thus far, including both Sacramento and Las Vegas games, Adebayo has averaged 11.5 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 25.9 minutes. He'll be on double-double watch one again Tuesday.

Adebayo will sit out Sunday's summer league matchup against the Hornets, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

Adebayo is likely just getting the game off for rest, which will also allow the Heat staff the chance to get a better and longer look at some of the more unproven talent on their summer league roster. The second-year big man is coming off an outing Saturday where he posted nine points, four rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes. The team plays again on Tuesday, which will be Adebayo's next shot to get back on the floor.
