Hip bruise keeps Heat's Adebayo out vs. Bucks
Written by I Dig SportsMILWAUKEE -- Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo missed Monday night's 122-114 loss at Milwaukee due to a bruised hip he suffered two nights earlier.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said at his pregame media session that Adebayo wouldn't be available. The two-time All-Star had been listed as questionable on the injury report.
Spoelstra said Adebayo got hurt during the Heat's 106-90 loss at Minnesota on Saturday.
"He took that hard spill, and then when we got into town yesterday, it was pretty sore," Spoelstra said. "It didn't get much better today."
Monday marked the first time the teams have faced off since the Heat stunned the top-seeded Bucks 4-1 in the first round of last season's playoffs. Adebayo averaged 17.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 5 assists in that series.
