CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo limped off the court early in the second quarter of Tuesday night’s play-in game against Charlotte when he got tripped by Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball, causing him to land hard on his back.
Ball was on the ground and appeared to take a swipe at Adebayo’s left foot with his left hand, causing Adebayo to fall backward. Adebayo stayed down as the action moved to the other end of the court and then back again before play was stopped.

After being attended to by trainers, he got to his feet and walked off under his own power and was taken to the locker room. Adebayo, who scored 83 points in a game last month, did not return for the remainder of the quarter.
The Heat said Adebayo was questionable to return.
Ball was not called for a foul and the play could not be reviewed because play wasn’t stopped.
