Note: This column has been updated with the report from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski that Bam Adebayo plans to return for Game 4.
This is the third NBA Finals in six seasons in which injuries have either completely changed the series midstream or forced one team to game-plan for two different opponents.
The Los Angeles Lakers, under at least a little pressure after the Miami Heat's rousing Game 3 win saw L.A.'s series lead tighten to 2-1, had to prepare for the Heat with and without Bam Adebayo, who was listed as questionable for Game 4 after missing Games 2 and 3 with injury and now plans to return.
