The latest on the Bam Adebayo back injury as NBA fans called out LaMelo Ball in Heat vs. Hornets.

Did LaMelo Ball do something dirty to cause a Bam Adebayo injury that left the Miami Heat star who scored 83 points earlier this season hurt in the play-in game against the Charlotte Hornets? Let's not bury the lede here: As of writing this, Adebayo is questionable to return to Tuesday night's game due to a lower back injury. That's according to the Heat.

Now that we've said that, let's go back to the Ball play. As he drove to the net and fell to the floor in the second quarter, he hit the floor and seemingly collided with Adebayo's legs. But from some angles, fans think he could have pull down the Heat forward.

What's your take? #MIAvsCHA INJURY UPDATE: Bam Adebayo left tonightโ€™s game vs the Hornets with a lower back injury. His return is questionable.
