This Steven Adams situation is very unusual and was always going to be a tough call. If he gets PCL surgery after last season ended in May, he still likely misses the full 2023-24 slate. Remember, in March, there was still a little hope that he could return in the playoffs. Tough – 1:21 PM

An injury that the Grizzlies and Steven Adams hoped would be resolved in March of 2023 will now keep the center sidelined until at least Oct. 2024.

We asked at the end of last season if surgery was an option for Steven Adams, and the Grizzlies said he would go through a non-surgical rehab process. Hindsight is 20-20, but that’s a devastating miss. – 12:42 PM

More on this storyline
Memphis Grizzlies PR: The @Memphis Grizzlies today provided the following medical update: -via Twitter @GrizzliesPR / October 22, 2023
Chris Herrington: Ziaire Williams and Xavier Tillman will start for the Grizzlies. Marcus Smart still unavailable and Steven Adams will get the night off. -via Twitter @ChrisHerrington / October 10, 2023
And maybe there’s more to the reason why Jackson’s rebounding numbers aren’t prototypical for a 6-foot-11 forward. With the Grizzlies, Jackson has operated mostly as a roamer, which allows him to block more shots and move around freely. The Grizzlies are afforded that luxury because they have one of the NBA’s top rebounders playing alongside Jackson in Steven Adams. “If he’s going to go block shots, he can’t get the rebound,” Adams said. “It’s not like you can do everything. It’s a give or take. You have to minimize one of the other ones to get some of the other ones.” -via Memphis Commercial Appeal / October 6, 2023
