Steven Adams: Breaking News

The Rockets announced Wednesday that Adams has undergone season-ending left ankle surgery, per Shams Charania of ESPN. Adams was already viewed as out indefinitely with a Grade 3 sprain, but he officially won't be able to return during the 2025-26 campaign. The veteran big man averaged 5.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 22.8 minutes per contest through 32 games before going down, and he's under contract with Houston through the 2027-28 season. With Adams' year now over, Clint Capela and Dorian Finney-Smith are set to split the backup center duties behind Alperen Sengun.

Head coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Adams suffered a Grade 3 left ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports. Adams sustained the ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Pelicans, and Udoka added that the Rockets are still gathering more information. With the veteran big man expected to miss an extended period, Clint Capela will likely see an uptick in playing time behind Alperen Sengun. In 32 regular-season appearances (11 starts) thus far, Adams has averaged 5.8 points and 8.6 rebounds across 22.8 minutes per tilt.

Adams (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Spurs. Adams exited Sunday's matchup against the Pelicans with a sprained left ankle and will miss at least one additional game as a result of the injury. Clint Capela will presumably see more opportunities until Adams returns to health.
