MIAMI -- Bam Adebayo, one of the NBA's top defensive players and soon to become a two-time U.S. Olympian, intends to sign a three-year, $166 million extension with the Miami Heat when the league's offseason moratorium on such moves is lifted next month, according to multiple reports.
Adebayo, who will be 27 in July, can sign the deal on July 6, by league rule.
Miami's captain and starting center has two years and about $72 million remaining on his current deal with the Heat, the only team that he's played for since Miami drafted him in 2017.
