Steven Adams Cleared to Play After Brief Injury Absence

Steven Adams, the veteran center for the Houston Rockets, has been cleared to play after a brief absence due to injury. Adams was initially questionable for the season opener against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday and was subsequently ruled out for the game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.

However, the latest update indicates that Adams is now available to return to the court. This news comes as a relief for the Rockets, who have been managing his recovery from a right knee injury and a left calf strain.

Adams’ return is significant, given his contributions to the team. Last season, he averaged 27.7 minutes per game, scoring 7.6 points, grabbing 8.9 rebounds, and providing 1.9 assists along with a combined 1.6 steals and blocks per game.

His presence on the court is crucial for the Rockets’ defensive and rebounding efforts, and his availability will be closely monitored as the team navigates the early stages of the NBA season.
