You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
Bam Adebayo has been carrying some weight this week, and Wednesday night he put it to good use. After publicly saying he felt like the team's scapegoat, the Miami Heat star dropped a season-high twenty four points on eight of sixteen shooting, lifting the Heat to a one twenty nine to one seventeen win over Atlanta and snapping that brutal oh and four start.
Speaking of shaking things up, the Indianapolis Colts' fire sale is officially in full swing. One day after trading away two key contributors, wide receiver Josh Downs has now formally requested a trade. Meanwhile in Baltimore, Lamar Jackson returned to full practice, a significant sign for a Ravens squad that needs their quarterback locked in heading into Week Eight.
And over in Los Angeles, Sean McVay offered a cautious but somewhat encouraging update on Davante Adams, saying the newly acquired receiver is trending closer to the shorter end of that six to ten week recovery timeline. That's still weeks away, but Rams fans will take any good news they can get right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
