3 years agoMemphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams won't play on Sunday during the playoff meeting with Golden State. The veteran remains in COVID-19 health and safety protocols, so it's unknown if he'll be back for Game 2 on Tuesday. Nonetheless, Adams was phased out of the rotation during the first-round matchup versus Minnesota to give more minutes to Brandon Clarke, who averaged 16.5 points, 9.0 boards, and 1.0 blocks during the series. While it doesn't mean Clarke will be as productive against the Warriors, he should remain favored over Adams for now.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
