Miami to extend Bam Adebayo on a 5-year, $163M max contract

The Miami Heat plan to sign All-Star Bam Adebayo to a five-year, $163M contract extension, source tells The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Adebayo is eligible for a rookie maximum contract -$163M with trigger for $195.6M in case of some individual accolades- and Miami plans to sign him to the new deal, Charania reports.

Adebayo’s extension would deprive Miami of the chance to offer a max contract in the 2021 offseason.
