Thu Feb 120:26Steven Adams Traded To Houston
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.

Sun Oct 22 202322:29Steven Adams Will Undergo Season-Ending Knee Surgery
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.

Sat Oct 21 202310:59Grizzlies "Will Be Cautious" With Steven Adams
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.

Sun Apr 30 202318:50Steven Adams Expected To Return Beginning Of Next 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.

Sat Apr 8 202318:29Steven Adams Unlikely To Play In Postseason
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) is unlikely to play in the upcoming postseason. The big man has been sidelined since January due to a sprained PCL in his right knee. He underwent a stem cell injection in early March to aid in the recovery process, but it appears Adams won't be available for the playoffs. Xavier Tillman Sr. is expected to remain the starting center, while Santi Aldama has a bigger role in the rotation.

Thu Mar 9 202310:50Steven Adams Will Miss At Least Four More Weeks
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) received some bad news on Thursday, as it was announced that he will be re-evaluated in four weeks after receiving a stem-cell injection for the PCL sprain in his right knee. The team has seen Ja Morant sit out due to off-court antics, Dillon Brooks was suspended and now their best rebounder is out even longer. Adams hasn't played since Jan. 22, and now the earliest we would see him on the court would be early April.

Tue Jan 24 202322:45Steven Adams Out At Least Three Weeks
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) is expected to be sidelined three-to-five weeks. The veteran has missed the last two games with knee soreness. However, his condition is much worse, as he was diagnosed with a PCL sprain. Adams has played well this season, averaging a career-high 11.5 rebounds to go along with 8.6 points and 1.1 blocks. But with the 29-year-old now on the shelf, Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman Sr. should split time in the middle. That said, Clarke may have a slight edge in terms of fantasy potential, but that could change in favor of Tillman relatively soon.

Mon Jan 23 202321:44Steven Adams Will Not Play Against Kings Monday Night
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) will sit out Monday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. Adams came into the game with some knee soreness and was listed as questionable. The soreness appears to be too much to handle, causing Adams to sit after three straight double-double outings. Brandon Clarke figures to get the spot start while Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson Jr. should get some extra run.

Mon Jan 23 202318:04Steven Adams Listed As Questionable For Monday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (knee) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The big man played 33 minutes on Sunday, so the Grizzlies might take the cautious approach here. His absence would leave a significant hole in the starting five. The Grizzlies would likely use a committee approach to fill the void, assuming Adams sits out. Santi Aldama, Brandon Clarke, and Xavier Tillman Sr. would likely all be asked to step up. Between them, Clarke is the best streaming option out of this trio.

Mon Jan 9 202315:29Steven Adams Tagged As Questionable For Monday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (illness) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The big man is in danger of missing his second straight game due to a non-COVID related illness. His absence would mean heavy minutes for Jaren Jackson Jr. with Brandon Clarke (hip) already ruled out. Also, Xavier Tillman Sr. would likely see another start if Adams is unable to go. He'd be worth looking at as a streaming choice if Adams sits out.

Sun Jan 8 202300:30Steven Adams Uncertain For Sunday's Meeting With Utah
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (illness) is questionable for Sunday's contest against Utah. The veteran isn't feeling well, which could explain his four-point effort in Friday's meeting with Orlando. However, he did log 30 minutes, which is a good sign. Nonetheless, if Adams doesn't play, Xavier Tillman Sr. and Santi Aldama may see a few extra minutes. Yet, neither should be considered a lock in any fantasy lineup.

Mon Jan 2 202307:17Steven Adams Has Another 20-Rebound Performance
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams remained hungry for glass on Sunday versus Sacramento, following up a 21-rebound effort with 23 rebounds in a 118-108 win. He tied his career-high mark with the 23 boards and set his new record with 13 rebounds on the offensive end. Adams added 11 points on 5-for-12 shooting for his third consecutive double-double and dished out three assists while bagging one steal and two blocks. The New Zealand center finds himself on some stretch, having averaged 20.3 boards in his past three outings. And he likely won't slow down any time soon either, with Memphis now facing Charlotte and Utah within the next three games, two teams that give up a lot of rebounds to opposing centers.

Sun Jan 1 202308:38Steven Adams Gobbles Up Season-High 21 Rebounds
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams had a huge game on the glass in Saturday's 116-101 victory over New Orleans, finishing with a season-high 21 rebounds. He had 16 rebounds on the defensive end alone and was able to grab his second consecutive double-double by getting to 10 points on 4-for-6 shooting. It was a very busy 27-minute shift at the office for Adams, with him also recording three assists, two steals and two blocks. Adams isn't a shiny fantasy asset, but the guy quietly puts in work each night and is averaging a career-high 10.8 rebounds this season with 8.0 points and 1.2 blocks. He has gone into double figures in rebounding five times in his past six appearances, and the 29-year-old Kiwi should have a great start to 2023, with a number of very favorable matchups coming up for him, including a clash with the Hornets, who have been shockingly poor against opposing centers all season.

Wed Dec 14 202219:01Steven Adams Off The Injury Report For Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams is officially off of the injury report a day ahead of the team's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. He only had to miss one game due to an ankle injury and seems good to return to his usual starting role at center. The 29-year-old big man has averaged 8.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 blocks per game so far this season. He's been an elite rebounding option for category leagues and can help in a pinch in points leagues if there's enough of a reward for high-rebound games.

Mon Dec 12 202218:46Steven Adams Doubtful For Monday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The big man is dealing with a sprained right ankle, which will likely cost him at least one game. Brandon Clarke is in line for a spot start with Adams likely hitting the sideline. Clarke has averaged a double-double over his last two starts. That being said, Clarke appears to be a strong streaming option for Monday's slate.

Thu Dec 8 202221:27Steven Adams Uncertain For Friday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (shoulder) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The veteran big man appears to be dealing with shoulder soreness, but might be able to play through it. Otherwise, head coach Taylor Jenkins will likely go with Brandon Clarke or Santi Aldama in the starting five. Between the two, Clarke is the better fantasy option. He finished with 17 points and eight rebounds during their last contest. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire to see if Clarke is available.

Mon Dec 5 202217:03Steven Adams Will Return To Action Monday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (hip) has been lifted from the team's injury report ahead of Monday's game against Miami. Adams missed one game due to a hip ailment, but his return comes at a much-needed time with the Grizzlies set to face widespread absences Monday. While the Heat have been tremendous at limiting opposing centers' DFS production (second-lowest per game average), Adams' rebounding ability makes him virtually matchup-proof. The 29-year-old has nabbed double-digit boards in six straight contests and is on pace to set a new career high with 11.2 rebounds per game this season.

Tue Nov 8 202221:39Steven Adams May Play Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Adams suffered an ankle sprain Sunday and was unable to play Monday, but seems to be trending in the right direction. Adams was a true game-time decision on Monday so he will likely be a game-time decision again Wednesday. Brandon Clarke got the spot start Monday and would likely run with the starting five again if Adams does indeed sit.

Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (ankle) won't play on Monday night versus the visiting Celtics.

Wed Nov 2 202221:35Steven Adams To Play On Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams (jaw) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He left early on Monday due to a jaw injury but appears good enough to play on Wednesday. Despite leaving early, Adams did lead his team in rebounds during Monday's game. The 29-year-old isn't a great scorer, but he is a solid source of rebounds. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Adams back in their lineups.
