What happened: The NBA wished Bam Adebayo a happy 29th birthday on Saturday. The greeting comes days after Pat Riley included Adebayo among the Heat's all-time greats, a list he had initially left him off.

Why it matters: The birthday falls during a turbulent stretch in Miami, with Tyler Herro still working past a Las Vegas altercation with Adebayo following Herro's trade to Milwaukee. Riley's correction to the greats list adds a rare bright spot to an otherwise rocky offseason for the center.

What to watch: Adebayo heads into the 2026-27 offseason as Miami reshapes its roster around him, with LeBron James free-agency talks and Heat trade targets still unresolved.
