NBA Denies Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo Historic 20-Rebound Triple-Double After Stat Revision

Following a review, NBA rules Adebayo's last rebound in Miami's win against Lakers as one by teammate Robinson, keeping Adebayo on par with Lamar Odom as the only Heat players with 19-rebound triple-doubles.

Bam Adebayo was initially hailed as the first player in Miami Heat history to record a 20-rebound triple-double after his performance in a 108-107 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 22 points and contributing 10 assists.
The NBA's subsequent stat revision reduced Adebayo’s rebound count to 19, altering the historic nature of the match and making him the second Miami Heat player – after Lamar Odom in 2004 – to hit a 19-rebound triple-double.
The stat correction was due to the NBA ruling that one of Adebayo’s rebounds, initially counted following a defensive block by him in the first half, was picked up by his teammate Duncan Robinson.
Miami Heat's head coach Erik Spoelstra refers to the statistical adjustment as a 'buzzkill' for Adebayo, but the player himself seems unaffected, stating he has seen other players have their stats padded without controversy.
Despite the adjustment, Bam Adebayo has started off his season impressively, averaging 21.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists across Miami's first seven games.
