Adebayo, Heat OK deal; Ingram stays with Pelicans

-

Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat agreed on a five-year extension that will be worth at least $163 million, the team and Adebayo’s agent Alex Saratsis said Tuesday. The contract won’t be signed until Adebayo completes a physical, likely in the next few days.

When this deal is done, he’ll become the fourth member of the 2017 NBA draft class to secure a max extension, the others being Sacramento’s De’aaron Fox, Utah’s Donovan

Mitchell and Boston’s Jayson Tatum.

Adebayo averaged 15.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists this past season. Only one other player in the league had those numbers: two-time reigning MVP Giannis Antetokoun­mpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.

■ Hawks: Atlanta signed guard Bogdan Bogdanovic to a multi-year contract.

■ Lakers: Los Angeles signed center Marc Gasol to a two-year, veteran’s minimum deal.

■ Pelicans: Restricted free agent Brandon Ingram has agreed to a fiveyear, $158 million contract with New Orleans. Also, center Steven Adams agreed to a two-year extension with the Pelicans. It’s for $35 million, said a person familiar with the deal.

■ Bucks: Milwaukee re-signed guard Pat Connaughto­n Tuesday to a three-year deal worth nearly $16 million. Connaughto­n, 27, averaged 5.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 18.6 minutes while playing in 67 games for the Bucks last season.

■ Warriors: Free agent guard Brad

Wanamaker agreed to a one-year, $2.25 million deal with Golden State.

■ Pistons: Free agent guard Wayne Ellington agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million deal with Detroit, according to reports.

■ Jazz: Utah will allow limited number of fans at home games when the season starts in December. Vivint Arena will allow 1,500 fans in the lower bowl, plus suite-level seating. Face masks will be required, seating will be social distanced and hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout the arena.
