The Miami Heat will host the Golden State Warriors in an interconference regular-season game on Wednesday. The Heat received a huge update on their star center, Bam Adebayo, after Tuesday's practice. The Paris Olympics gold medalist's status was upgraded to questionable on the injury report after missing six consecutive games with a toe sprain.

Adebayo participated in practice on the eve of Miami's blockbuster showdown against Jimmy Butler and the Warriors. He is likely to make his highly anticipated comeback, barring any last-minute setbacks. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra spoke about Adebayo's status after practice on Tuesday and stated that the final call will be taken on the star center closer to tip off.

"He’s had two good practices in a row," Spoelstra said. "There’s stuff behind the scenes. He’s really been putting in the time, the treatment, the active work. I think it’s been a responsible plan and then we’ll see what the trainers say in the next 24 hours."

Adebayo last suited up on November 5 against the Denver Nuggets, with his outing cut short after just eight minutes. The Heat's poster boy is averaging 19.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game on 45.2% shooting from the floor.

The Heat have done exceptionally well in Adebayo's absence, winning four out of six games. Overall, the franchise holds an 8-6 record and currently sits in seventh place in the East.

Meanwhile, Tyler Herro was involved in Tuesday's practice but remains out with a left ankle injury. The former Sixth Man of the Year underwent surgery in September, and there is no timeline for his return just yet.
