On January 21, Houston Rockets center Steven Adams was ruled out indefinitely with a grade 3 left ankle sprain, potentially ending his season. The injury occurred in the Rockets’ 119-110 win over the Pelicans, when Adams landed awkwardly while defending Zion Williamson. He left the game immediately after the incident.
Adams averages 5.9 points and 8.6 rebounds this season and serves as a key defensive anchor inside. His absence will significantly affect the Rockets’ center depth, with Clint Capela expected to take on a bigger role. Houston currently sits 25-15, 5th in the Western Conference.
