Bam Adebayo of the Miami Heat will miss the game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a sore lower back suffered during a fall on Saturday in Portland. Although he participated in warm-ups at Intuit Dome, the team ultimately decided to hold him out for the match.

Adebayo's absence is significant as he has been a key contributor for Miami this season, averaging 16.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. His day-to-day status leaves uncertainty regarding his return for upcoming games, impacting the Heat's strategy and performance.
