Blow for Rockets: Stephen Adams Out for the Season

Houston Rockets center Stephen Adams will miss the remainder of the season due to surgery on his left ankle. The injury occurred in a game against the Pelicans, and the team's fears were confirmed. Adams' absence is a significant blow to the Rockets, as he was a key player behind Alperen Sengun. The 32-year-old Adams averaged 5.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. Clint Capela is expected to take on the role of second center.
