Grizzlies Injury Report: Steven Adams Suffers Right Ankle Injury, Returns In Second Half

Center Steven Adams limped off the floor in the second quarter of the Grizzlies' Game 6 bout with the Warriors after suffering a right ankle sprain.

Steven Adams Injury Update

Adams ostensibly received treatment on his ankle and was able to return to the lineup when the second half began.

Adams appeared to roll his right ankle fighting for a rebound with 3:23 left in the first half. 

His right ankle rolled outward and he walked off the floor and into the locker room under his own power. He didn't return before halftime.

Adams has two points and six rebounds and is a team-high plus-seven in 13 minutes. 

The 28-year-old Kiwi missed the first two games of the series while in health and safety protocols and has been a key piece of the rotation since Game 4, averaging 8.5 points and 14 rebounds in the last two games.
