Thunder's Steven Adams still dealing with knee contusion
Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams is still recovering from a left knee contusion.
What It Means:
Adams missed three games earlier this month with the issue. "I don't want to say he's on a minutes restriction, but we're trying to be mindful and keep him in a range," Thunder head coach Billy Donovan said. Adams is playing his fewest minutes since 2015-16 and had a significant dip in production this season, so some time off may be needed. Nerlens Noel would see a significant boost if that's the case.
Adams is averaging 7.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 24.6 FanDuel points in 26.3 minutes per game this season.
