Former Kentucky Wildcat Bam Adebayo signed a three-year $166 million dollar extension with the Miami Heat on Wednesday afternoon, with the deal being made public hours before the beginning of the 2024 NBA Draft.

The Heat possess the No. 15 pick in the Draft after finishing the 2023-24 season 46-36, entering the NBA Play-In Tournament and qualifying for the first round of the NBA playoffs where it lost in five games to the eventual NBA champions, the Boston Celtics.
