Steven Adams will miss Game 6 of the Grizzlies‘ first-round series against the Timberwolves after entering the league’s health and safety protocols, the team’s PR department tweets.
Adams started 75 games for the team with the Western Conference’s second-best record during the regular season. Due to matchups, Adams has dropped out of the rotation during the opening playoff round. After playing 24 minutes in Game 1, Adams has only seen seven minutes of action.
Forward Ziaire Williams is listed as doubtful with right knee soreness. Williams has appeared in all five games during the series, averaging 5.6 PPG in 11 MPG.
He wasn’t playing much anyway.
He doesn’t play anyway, makes no difference!
He hasn’t been playing much, but he has had a great presence on the bench as one of their only veteran guys. Also it is nice to know that Aquaman has your back if they get into a scuffle in game 6/7. Not sure how long he could be out, but could change how they play next series if they are able to get there.
