    DENVER — Miami’s Bam Adebayo checked himself out of Wednesday night’s game against the Denver Nuggets late in the first quarter after experiencing pain in his left foot.<\/p>\n

    He didn’t return.<\/p>\n

    The presence of the Heat’s forward\/center was missed in the middle as the Nikola Jokic-led Nuggets dominated the boards in a 122-112 win.<\/p>\n

    Adebayo is slated to undergo tests on his foot Thursday. He was hobbling around after the game.<\/p>\n

    “We’ll figure it out,” Adebayo said.<\/p>\n

    With Adebayo sidelined, the Nuggets took full advantage.<\/p>\n

    More specifically, Jokic, who had 33 points, 16 assists and 15 rebounds for his fifth triple-double of the season. The Heat were outrebounded by a 61-38 margin, including 21-5 on the offensive glass. The 61 rebounds were Denver’s most since May 5, 2021.<\/p>\n

    “Definitely tough,” Heat guard Norman Powell said of losing Adebayo early. “I thought we had a good rhythm to start the game, good flow, good energy, good pop to us. Getting stops, rebounds. He was battling. I didn’t see what happened, but it was just tough.”<\/p>\n

    Adebayo is a three-time All-Star and has made five All-Defensive teams. He entered Wednesday averaging 22.4 points and 9.1 rebounds.<\/p>\n

    “I have huge respect for him,” said Jokic, who was 12-of-18 shooting. “Every possession he’s playing 100% — sometimes even more than that. They definitely needed him on both sides of the floor.”<\/p>\n

    The Heat were up three — with another free throw on the way — when Adebayo left the game at the 3:48 mark of the first quarter. The Nuggets would begin to methodically pull away and stretch the lead to 17 in the fourth quarter. Miami made a late run before Jamal Murray sealed the win at the free throw line.<\/p>\n

    “There are so many moments during the course of the game, those swing opportunities, that we didn’t manage well,” said Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, whose team finished 1-3 on a four-game trip. “Every time we got it to around six or eight, they would respond and it would end up being a 15-point lead. But that’s part of us learning. Even without Bam, I thought this was a game we could’ve put ourselves in a position to win.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
