Rockets' Steven Adams out for season after ankle surgery

Steven Adams will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his left ankle

JANUARY 28 • Associated Press

Undergoes season-ending surgery The Rockets announced Wednesday that Adams has undergone season-ending left ankle surgery, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Impact Adams was already viewed as out indefinitely with a Grade 3 sprain, but now he won't be able to return during the 2025-26 campaign. The veteran big man is 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.

Out indefinitely Head coach Ime Udoka said Tuesday that Adams suffered a "severely sprained, Grade 3 ankle sprain" and will be out indefinitely, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network report...

Impact 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.

Ruled out for Tuesday Adams (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Spurs.

Impact 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.

Durant passes Nowitzki for 6th place on NBA career scoring list as Rockets beat Pelicans 119-110

Kevin Durant had 18 points and moved into sixth place on the NBA’s career points list, and Jabari Smith Jr. scored a season-high 32 points as the Houston Rockets beat the New Orlea...

JANUARY 19 • Associated Press

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Head coach Ime Udoka told reporters after Sunday's 119-110 win over the Pelicans that Adams was diagnosed with a sprained left ankle, Kelly Iko of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Adams could barely put any weight after spraining his left ankle early in the first quarter and had to be helped to the locker room. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but if he were to miss extended time, then Clint Capela would be in line to step up into a larger role off the bench.

Goes to locker room Adams went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Pelicans due to a left leg injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Adams appeared to suffer the injury while attempting to block a Zion Williamson layup attempt. Adams had to be helped back to the locker room, and if he's unable to return, he would finish with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes. Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela are candidates to play more in Adams' absence.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Adams is starting Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact The Rockets have elected to move Adams into the starting five with Tari Eason (ankle) set to miss another matchup. Adams has been a strong rebounder in his last five appearances as a starter, averaging 8.8 rebounds in 27.6 minutes per game.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Omitted from injury report Adams (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against Minnesota.

Impact The veteran center's omission is worth noting, as he tends to sit out one half of back-to-back sets. Adams is slated to appear in two games in as many days for the first time this season, meaning Clint Capela may not see the floor at all Friday.
