After some intrigue about their long-term planning, the Heat announced Tuesday they have signed center Bam Adebayo to a five-year, maximum extension. Like his fellow 2017 draftees Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum, Adebayo signed a deal worth at least $163 million. The contract could escalate to $195.6 million if Adebayo meets criteria such as making an All-NBA team. Unlike Mitchell and Tatum, Adebayo’s deal does not include a player option in the last season. The co-star of Miami’s run to the Finals, Adebayo averaged 15.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game last season.
