The Heat lost big man Bam Adebayo in the second quarter of their play-in tournament game against the Hornets after Charlotte guard LaMelo Ball seemed to trip him.   He was ruled out for the remainder of the game with a lower-back injury by the Heat before they fell 127-126 in an overtime heartbreaker. The injury occurred with 11:10 left in the second quarter after Ball had a shot attempt blocked by Simone Fontecchio of the Heat.
