The Miami Heat officially announced a piece of good news today that center Bam Adebayo has passed the league’s new coronavirus protection health and safety protocol, ended the quarantine period and officially removed from the Heat’s injured player list , is expected to play in the first round of the playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

Adebayo tested positive for the new coronavirus last week, was immediately placed on the health protocol and enforced quarantine restrictions, and missed the Heat's final regular-season game against the Orlando Magic.

The 24-year-old Adebayo is a key defensive player for the Heat. He underwent surgery for a right thumb injury this season, which caused him to be sidelined for 6 weeks. He has only played 56 games this season, but in this season. He had a career-high 19.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 55.7 percent from the field. He helped the Heat finish the regular season with a 53-29 record at the top of the Eastern Conference and seal the playoffs.

With the return of Adebayor, the Heat will further improve the offensive and defensive efficiency of the Heat, and will play against the Eagles, who have advanced to the 8th place in the play-offs tomorrow. In addition, the Eagles' center center Clint Capela is out with his right knee, which means the Eagles will be in trouble for tomorrow's first game.
