Steven Adams

C, Oklahoma City Thunder

Steven Adams (left ankle sprain) returned on Saturday and failed to score in 23 minutes but added one rebound and four blocks.

It was a rough night for Adams and the blocks were his only positive contribution. The Thunder will need to lean on Adams more in the short term with Nerlens Noel (facial fracture) sidelined. Adams is just outside the top-100 in 9-cat per game value on the season and should safely stay in that range ROS.
