Memphis big man Steven Adams out at least a few more weeks
The Memphis Grizzlies say center Steven Adams will be out at least a few more weeks to recover from the sprained ligament in his right kneeMARCH 9, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Grizzlies' Steven Adams to be re-evaluated in 4 weeks Grizzlies center Steven Adams hasn't played since sustaining his PCL injury on Jan. 22 against the Suns.
MARCH 9, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Out for rest of regular season The Grizzlies announced Thursday that Adams (knee) received a stem cell injection to address the PCL sprain in his right knee and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Impact Up until Thursday, Adams was considered day-to-day and was expected to make his return to the lineup sometime within the next few games. However, his sprained right knee apparently wasn't healing as well as the team had hoped, so further treatment was deemed necessary. The injection and the subsequent re-evaluation period will essentially rule the big man out for the remainder of the regular season, a massive blow to a Grizzlies team that recently lost Brandon Clarke to a torn Achilles and is without Ja Morant (suspension) indefinitely. For now, the team is aiming for Adams to return to action during the playoffs, but clarity on the situation likely won't arrive until closer to the final week of the regular season. In the meantime, Xavier Tillman will continue to be the primary beneficiary from a fantasy perspective as the Grizzlies' starting center.

Remains out Sunday Adams (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Adams hasn't played since Jan. 22 due to a right knee sprain. It's unclear when he'll be able to suit up again, but the Grizzlies desperately need frontcourt depth after losing Brandon Clarke (lower leg) for the rest of the season. Adams' next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Lakers.

Out again Friday Adams (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Impact Adams hasn't played in over a month as he continues to recover from his right knee sprain. Xavier Tillman, Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama should all continue to see increased roles until Adams is fully healthy.

Making strides, but still out Head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Adams (knee) has progressed to 5-on-5 work recently, but the Grizzlies aren't expecting the big man back until after their upcoming four-...
Impact Adams hasn't played since Jan. 22 due to a right knee sprain, and given the coach's timeline, the veteran center will miss at least five more contests before he has a chance to suit up again. Things are certainly subject to change quickly, but it appears like Xavier Tillman, Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama should continue to split time at center for at least another week.

Out again Saturday Adams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Adams remains out due to a PCL sprain he suffered in late January. It's unclear when he'll be back in action, but his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus the Lakers. In his absence, Brandon Clarke and Xavier Tillman have garnered increased roles, and Clarke has started each of the Grizzlies' past two contests after Tillman had a string of six straight starts.

Won't play Thursday Adams (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian reports.
Impact Adams has been sidelined since late January due to a PCL sprain in his right knee, and he'll remain out during the Grizzlies' first game after the All-Star break. While coach Taylor Jenkins didn't officially rule Adams out for the team's matchup against the Nuggets on Saturday, it sounds unlikely that the center will be able to return over the weekend. Brandon Clarke served as the Grizzlies' starting center during last week's game against the Jazz, but Xavier Tillman should also continue to see increased run, even if he remains in a bench role following the layoff.

Remains out through All-Star break Adams (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Jazz.
Impact Adams will miss his 11th straight game since suffering a PCL sprain in his right knee against Sacramento. Xavier Tillman has been Memphis' starting center in his absence. Adams' next chance to suit up is Feb. 23 against Philadelphia.
