Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo received an urgent wake-up call from franchise legend Udonis Haslem, who invoked Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid as a benchmark, according to a report published November 10, 2026.
The message comes after the Heat's 118-95 victory over the 76ers on March 29, 2025, at Wells Fargo Center, where Adebayo and Embiid were photographed conversing postgame. Haslem, a three-time NBA champion with Miami, reportedly challenged Adebayo to elevate his game to Embiid's level.
Further details about the specific nature of Haslem's advice were not disclosed in the initial report.
