Unfortunately, the Heat are still one of the most polarizing teams this season with their struggles. At the same time, their injury struggles remain with multiple players on the sidelines. Amid all those injuries, Bam Adebayo has stepped up and embraced the go-to guy role.

This is perfectly exemplified by his historic 83-point game against the Washington Wizards . Unfortunately, the results after that game have not been promising, especially with this current four-game losing streak. Adebayo promises to keep playing at a high level moving forward Over the years, as a Heat player, Adebayo has always played as more of a secondary player.

For a long time, Jimmy Butler was the star player for Miami, but that changed when the veteran guard got traded to the Golden State Warriors . Tyler Herro stepped up and became an All-Star for the Heat, while Adebayo maintained his status as a defensive anchor and a secondary offensive option. Recently, that has not been the case because Adebayo has had to step up for both Herro and All-Star guard Norman Powell.
