"Over 4,800 days ago in November of 2012, Haslem broke Alonzo Mourning's record for most rebounds in franchise history. Haslem corralled 985 more than his former teammate and still holds the record. Though one player is creeping up behind him: Bam Adebayo."
"Adebayo, in his ninth season, passed Mourning in rebounding last February, and is now less than 300 rebounds - 245, to be exact - from surpassing Haslem, a Miami native who is one of three players to have ever played 20 seasons with one franchise."
"There are just 21 games left in the season. So assuming Adebayo plays all of them, he'd have to average roughly 11.7 per game in order to reach 245. The 28-year-old has 24 double-doubles on the season and has exceeded 12 rebounds nine times over his last 23 games, averaging 10.3 boards over that stretch."
Udonis Haslem holds the Miami Heat franchise record for most rebounds with 5,985, a record he set in November 2012 by surpassing Alonzo Mourning. Bam Adebayo, now in his ninth season with the Heat, has been closing the gap and currently trails Haslem by 245 rebounds after passing Mourning last February. With 21 games remaining in the season, Adebayo would need to average approximately 11.7 rebounds per game to break the record. While this is achievable given his recent performance—averaging 10.3 boards over his last 23 games—it remains unlikely unless he significantly increases his output. Adebayo has demonstrated exceptional play recently, posting strong statistics across multiple categories following his recovery from a back injury.
