Jimmy Butler has no doubts about Heat's Bam Adebayo as All-Star

MIAMI -- Bam Adebayo has to wait until Thursday night to find out if he will be named to his first All-Star Game.

Jimmy Butler, however, doesn't need to.

"He will be," Butler said Monday night after the Miami Heat's 113-92 win over the Orlando Magic here at AmericanAirlines Arena, when asked if his teammate will be an All-Star this season.

"No doubt."

Adebayo certainly did his best to give the league's coaches, who have to submit their ballots Tuesday, something to think about while they make their selections here against the Magic, finishing with 20 points on 10-for-16 shooting to go with 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and just one turnover in Miami's comfortable victory.
