Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo will be sidelined 4-6 weeks following surgery on his right thumb.

The 24-year-old All-Star underwent a procedure Monday to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament. The surgery was performed by Dr. Steven Shin at the Kerlan-Jobe Surgery Center in Los Angeles.

Adebayo has averaged 18.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals in 18 starts this season, shooting 51.9 percent from the field.

He sustained the injury during a 120-111 loss to the visiting Denver Nuggets on Nov. 29.
