Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo will have surgery this weekend to repair a torn Ulnar Collateral Ligament in his right thumb. Adebayo suffered the injury in Monday’s game against the Nuggets but finished the game.
The expectation is that Bam will miss around 6 weeks, but that won't be determined until after the surgery. 6 weeks will keep him out until the middle of January. Not only will that hurt Miami who doesn’t have great front-court depth currently, but it will also keep Adebayo from likely becoming an All-Star this season.
