Bam Adebayo has notably been left off the NBA All-Defense teams this season, a significant shift given his prior consistency in securing such honors. Previously named to the second team for four years before earning first-team accolades last season, Adebayo saw a marked decline in voting this year, finishing with just 18 points. This places him well behind other nominees, including Rudy Gobert. Despite this setback, he continues to hold records with the franchise, being the only player to reach All-Defensive selection five times while with the Heat.
For the first time this decade, Bam Adebayo has been bypassed for All-NBA Defensive team honors, having been a consistent member of these teams for previous seasons.
This season, Adebayo finished tied for 10th for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, receiving no first or third place votes and only one second place vote.
Despite Adebayo's previous accolades, he received only 18 points in this year's voting for the All-Defense team, placing him behind players with far higher totals.
Adebayo remains the only player in franchise history with five selections to the league's All-Defensive teams, showcasing his enduring impact and defensive prowess despite this season's results.
