UPDATE: Bam Adebayo is available (h/t ESPN's Dave McMenamin).

On Wednesday night, the Miami Heat will be in California to play the Los Angeles Lakers.

For the game, they could be without one of their best players, as Bam Adebayo is on the injury report.

The former Kentucky star also missed the team's last game, so this would be his second straight out of action (if he doesn't play).

Via The Miami Heat on Tuesday: "#MIAvsLAL INJURY UPDATE: Bam Adebayo (back) is listed as questionable to play in tomorrow night’s game vs the Lakers."

Adebayo is in the middle of another productive season.

He is averaging 16.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per contest while shooting 45.6% from the field in 37 games.
