Bad news for the Miami Heat heading into Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Heat big man Bam Adebayo will miss Game 2 due to a shoulder injury which doesn’t come as a surprise considering he was listed as “doubtful” heading into tonight.

Miami Heat All-Star Bam Adebayo (shoulder) will miss Game 2 of the NBA Finals vs. Lakers tonight, but there remains hope that he could return for Game 3 on Sunday, sources tell ESPN. The Heat have listed him as doubtful for tonight.

Adebayo was already having issues defending Anthony Davis during Game 1 after having a dominant performance against the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics. However, despite Davis’ 34 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and three blocks, the Heat are obviously much better off with Adebayo on the floor than without him.

And to make matters worse, the Heat could also be without Goran Dragic who’s dealing with a torn plantar fascia in his left foot.
