Steven Adams Fantasy Stats

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his left ankle on Wednesday. The veteran big man hurt his ankle in a contest against the New Orleans Pelicans on Jan. 18. Adams ends the campaign with averages of 5.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.5 assists. He made 32 appearances, starting 11 times. Moving forward, Clint Capela figures to have a regular role in the rotation, while the likes of Jabari Smith Jr. and Tari Eason may also see an increased workload.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) has been ruled out indefinitely with a Grade 3 left ankle sprain. He was injured in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Josh Okogie started in Adams' place on Tuesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. He had a quiet outing with five points, one rebound, and one steal. Houston also brought Clint Capela back into the rotation, and the Swiss big man finished with six points and two rebounds in 12 minutes. With Adams on the shelf, Jabari Smith Jr. could also see time at the center position.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) has been ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Spurs. The Big Kiwi started on Sunday against the Pelicans and had five points, 10 boards, and two assists before leaving after 27 minutes with his ankle injury. He was unable to put much weight on the injury and had to be helped to the locker room, so it isn't surprising that he'll miss some time, even though preliminary tests on Adams' ankle revealed no fracture. With Adams out, Clint Capela will likely get more time as the backup center behind Alperen Sengun, while Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Okogie could get more time at forward with Sengun in the middle if Tari Eason (ankle, questionable) isn't ready to return on Tuesday.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle after exiting early in Sunday's win over New Orleans, with significant swelling reported and further testing pending. Adams was unable to put weight on the ankle, putting his short-term availability in doubt. Fantasy managers should expect Alperen Sengun to shoulder heavier frontcourt minutes, while Clint Capela could see a situational bump off the bench. Capela remains a risky streamer given Houston's occasional small-ball lean, but he can return value when minutes spike.

Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports that Houston Rockets centers Steven Adams (ankle) and Clint Capela (illness) are unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. Adams sprained his right ankle during Monday's 126-119 win over the Pacers, while Capela is feeling under the weather. With both veteran big men out of action, Dorian Finney-Smith may see an expanded role, but he should not be viewed as a streaming option for fantasy managers.

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Phoenix Suns, ESPN's Michael C. Wright reports. The Turkish big man landed on the injury report late with an illness and doesn't feel well enough to play. Instead, Steven Adams will start at center. Adams has previously averaged 6.5 points and 10.5 rebounds in 28.3 minutes as a starter this season. He faces a mediocre matchup on Friday against a Suns team that ranks 12th in rebounding rate.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is available for Wednesday's matchup with Sacramento after missing Monday's loss in Utah. His return shifts the frontcourt rotation after Clint Capela logged only 9 minutes in that contest, while Alperen Sengun delivered 31 points, eight rebounds, 14 assists, two steals, and five blocks across 38 minutes. Adams has averaged 10.2 rebounds over his last five active games, giving him deep-league value for boards and defensive stats, though his minutes tend to fluctuate. Capela remains the primary player affected, with his role tightening whenever Adams is active.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento after missing Monday's game and moving in and out of the rotation recently. His last appearance featured 13 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes, but Houston has leaned heavily on small-ball lineups when he is unavailable. That shift pushed Aaron Holiday to 32 minutes Monday, putting him on the deep-league streaming radar, while Clint Capela stands to benefit if Houston leans back toward a traditional lineup. Adams remains a risky hold in most formats due to volatility.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (rest) will miss Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Adams will have tonight's tilt off to rest after finishing with 13 points, 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block across 17 minutes during a 129-101 win over the Jazz on Sunday. Clint Capela will likely be assigned extra minutes with Adams out this evening. However, Capela shouldn't be viewed as a solid fantasy basketball option, as he is averaging just 3.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per contest this season.

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (ankle) will miss Wednesday's matchup against Golden State. His absence does not guarantee a major role for Clint Capela, who has been a fringe option and could still get squeezed if Houston leans into small-ball looks. Capela has averaged 2.0 points and 3.2 rebounds across his last five appearances, but Houston's thin frontcourt with Kevin Durant (personal reasons), Tari Eason (oblique), and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) all out could lead to a slight bump in minutes. He remains a deeper-league rebounding flyer rather than a standard-league option.
