Tony Adams Injury: Logs DNP
What Happened?
Tony Adams, the 10-time NBA All-Star, suffered a left calf strain during the Grizzlies' 122-112 loss to the Suns on Wednesday night. Adams left the game early in the fourth quarter and did not return. He underwent an MRI on Thursday, which confirmed the strain.
How Long Will He Be Out?
The Grizzlies have not announced a timetable for Adams' return, but calf strains typically take 2-4 weeks to heal. Adams is expected to miss at least the next two games, and his status for the rest of the week is uncertain.
What Does This Mean for the Grizzlies?
Adams' injury is a big blow to the Grizzlies, who are already without Ja Morant (knee) and Desmond Bane (toe). Adams is the team's starting center and one of their best defenders. His absence will make it more difficult for the Grizzlies to defend the paint and rebound the basketball.
What's Next?
The Grizzlies will play the Lakers on Friday night in Los Angeles. They will then return home to face the Pelicans on Sunday afternoon. It is unclear if Adams will be able to play in either game.
