Steven Adams News
Memphis traded center Steven Adams (knee) to Houston on Thursday evening. In exchange, the Grizzlies received guard Victor Oladipo and three second-round draft picks. The 30-year-old has averaged 9.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks since entering the league in 2013. However, he's battled various injuries over the years, most recently getting sidelined by a knee issue that's kept him off the floor since January 2023. That said, Adams is expected to be healthy to begin the 2024-25 campaign and is anticipated to support Alperen Sengun, one of the NBA's most promising young centers. From a fantasy standpoint, the veteran likely has more than a few productive outings left in the tank.
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) was originally cleared from this knee injury that kept him out of half of last season, this year's training camp, and preseason. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the big man is opting for the season-ending surgery because the "non-operative rehabilitation did not resolve ongoing knee instability." In the wake of this news, Santi Aldama, Xavier Tillman, and Kenneth Lofton Jr. will see an increase in their fantasy value. Especially while Brandon Clarke (Achilles) remains sidelined, the previous three will see more opportunities in the frontcourt.
According to Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the Grizzlies "will be cautious" regarding the workload of center Steven Adams this season. He suffered a knee injury in January and didn't play the rest of the season. As a result, Adams, who turned 30 over the summer, will have a tough time being a routine contributor for fantasy managers throughout the 2023-24 campaign, at least in statistical categories outside of rebounding. On the other hand, there's plenty of room for growth from Xavier Tillman, considering he could spend more time in the middle this season.
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) will likely be back on the court in the beginning of the 2023-2024 NBA season. Adams missed the back half of this year due to a knee injury and was unable to play during their playoff series loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Adams should resume his starting center position next season once he's fully healthy.
