Heat center Bam Adebayo was listed as questionable with a quad contusion ahead of Game 2 against the Atlanta Hawks Tuesday night, but told reporters Tuesday morning he will play through the injury.
Adebayo took a hit to the left thigh during Game 1's win, but did not exit the game.
The 24-year-old played 27 minutes in the blowout win, finishing with 6 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 1-6 shooting.
The ProBasketballDocs expect Adebayo to play his usual minutes and have full mobility against the Hawks depleted interior defense.
P.J. Tucker, the veteran Miami defender, is also listed as questionable with a calf injury he's been dealing with since April 5.
If Tucker sits, it would likely mean more minutes for Duncan Robinson or Caleb Martin.
Depth players Markieff Morris and Dewayne Dedmon are also questionable for the game.
The Heat are 7.5-point favorites in Game 2 and the over/under is 219, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
