What are Bam Adebayo's contract details with Heat? Salary, duration & more

Bam Adebayo has contributed a ton to the success of the Miami Heat this season, as they try to even the series against the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals.

Since entering the league, he's made a significant impact and improved his game on both ends of the floor.

In the 2020 offseason, Adebayo and the Heat agreed to a contract extension that secured his spot as a pillar in the team. He signed a five-year $163 million deal that took effect during the 2021-22 season and will last until the 2025-26 season.

Following that, he'll become an unrestricted free agent if Miami doesn't give him another extension.

He's currently in his sixth season with the Heat and has been exceptional for the team so far. Adebayo became an All-Star for the second time in his career this season after averaging 20.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. During their campaign, the two-time All-Star shot 54% from the field for the team.

In the NBA Finals, Adebayo has been impactful for Miami. He's done a ton for the Heat on both ends of the floor and has arguably been the best player on multiple occasions. The four-time All-Defensive center has averaged 23.0 points, 13.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists so far.

In Game 1 of the Finals, Adebayo finished the game with 26 points, 13 rebounds, and five assists. Despite his efforts, the Heat lost to the Nuggets where Nikola Jokic had 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 14 assists.
