LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Bam Adebayo is back for the Miami Heat. Goran Dragic is still waiting.Adebayo was active for Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, the Heat making that determination more than hour before game time.
Dragic was ruled out around the same time after he tried to test his torn left plantar fascia in a warmup session.“Bam is the heart and soul of this team,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before the game.The biggest hurdle for Adebayo to clear in his recovery from a neck strain was certain strength tests that the Heat would put him through with hopes of ensuring that he would have an opportunity to get through the rigors of a game.
