Bam Adebayo has become more involved with the Miami Heat after star center Hassan Whiteside suffered a knee injury. The Pinetown product has stepped up well after a spell of nine-straight games in which he played eight or fewer minutes. Adebayo will make his first trip to North Carolina as a professional when he and the Heat travel to Charlotte on Friday.
