Season over for Steven Adams…
After several injury-plagued campaigns, Steven Adams found form again and a smilein Houston. Unfortunately, it didn’t last long as he will have to finish the season in the infirmary!
New Zealand’s pivot really failed ten days ago, against the Pelicans. During the action he tried to challenge Sion Williamson in the air but landed very badly on his left ankle.
Examinations revealed a grade 3 left ankle sprain, the worst possible grade. We could be afraid between two and three months of absence but it will be even more since Steven Adams opted for surgery to correct the problem and his season is already over.
This is a real blow for Houston as Stephen Adams holds an important spot in the Ime Udoka rotation, far beyond the stats, with his presence on the rebound, screens, physical impact and shadow work…
Because if the Rockets are the best offensive rebounding team (by far) in the entire NBA, it’s largely because the Kiwi is a monster on the court, capable of grabbing 18.9% of available offensive rebounds when he’s on the court. Only Mitchell Robinson (22.4%) is better this season in the Big League.
And he’s another veteran that Ime Udoka won’t be able to rely on in key moments, after Fred VanVleet.
