Steven Adams

C, Oklahoma City Thunder

A right knee contusion will force Steven Adams to miss Friday's game vs. the Heat.

Adams' status went downhill over the course of the day, but hopefully, this is not even a medium-term issue. Nerlens Noel is set to return for the Thunder and should be in for a solid night of production with Adams out. Before this issue arose Adams was finally playing like a mid-round talent, but Noel had been pushing him into a timeshare for much of the season.
