Bam Adebayo Ruled Out of Preseason Finale with Groin Tightness

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo will miss Friday's preseason finale against the Orlando Magic due to right groin tightness. The star big man is being held out as a precautionary measure to prevent further injury. Adebayo's next opportunity to return to action will be Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves, provided his groin issue resolves.
