Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo made an appearance at Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, giving the Florida Panthers crowd an early boost. Wearing a custom Panthers jersey with his name and number 13, Adebayo served as the team’s guest drummer and energized the packed arena before puck drop.
The moment was captured in a short clip shared by the Florida Panthers on social media. Adebayo walked out onto the platform, pounded the drum, and received a loud ovation from the home crowd. The Miami Heat followed up with their own post, writing, “Let’s gooooo! #TimeToHunt” in support of the Panthers’ playoff run.
The Heat forward’s support for another South Florida franchise highlights the connection between the teams and their fan bases. Adebayo’s presence helped kick off an important night for the Panthers, who hosted the Edmonton Oilers for a pivotal game in the series.
