The Grizzlies announced Sunday that center Steven Adams will miss the entire 2023–24 season after undergoing right knee surgery.
Adams missed the end of the 2022–23 season due to a knee injury and according to the team, “non-operative rehabilitation did not resolve ongoing knee instability.” As a result, he’ll undergo surgery on his right posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
This is a massive loss for a Memphis squad looking to repeat its regular season success after finishing as the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference last year. The team’s season eventually came to a crashing halt when the Grizzlies were upset by the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs.
