What happened to Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo?

Tuesday's contest was the 22nd time this season in 73 games that Miami was without Butler. His absence was due to a non-COVID-19 illness, preventing him from participating in the team's morning shootaround.

Butler, initially questionable, was eventually downgraded to out around two hours before the game. Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo has played in four of the last five matchups, missing the 107-104 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers due to lower back soreness, which reportedly caused him pain and swelling.

However, he was upgraded to play after initially being listed as questionable against the Pelicans. He contributed a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, logging 30 minutes, albeit in a losing cause.
