Steven Adams to miss time for Rockets

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams will miss at least a week or two due to injury, head coach Ime Udoka announced following a victory over the Atlanta Hawks. The projected timeline places his potential return between Houston's upcoming game against the Boston Celtics on November 2 and a matchup with the Denver Nuggets on November 9.

Udoka also noted that Marcus is day-to-day with hopes of returning for the next contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. Writing for The Dream Shake, Holly Sturm argues that Houston should not depend heavily on the 33-year-old Adams given his recent history of injuries, noting that general manager Rafael Stone should have addressed the backup center position earlier.
