Adebayo’s presence should offer the Heat a major boost as they begin what they hope will be a deep playoff run.
The Hawks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night to earn the eighth and final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
Adebayo and his Heat teammates will face plenty of pressure during the playoffs, as Miami is the top seed in the Eastern Conference. However, that status confers on Miami home-court advantage up until the NBA Finals.
