Grizzlies' Playoff Hopes in Jeopardy as Steven Adams Sidelined with Knee Injury
TL;DR
Memphis Grizzlies center Steven Adams is expected to miss the NBA playoffs due to his injured right knee, which he sprained in January and received a stem cell injection for in March. The team will also be without reserve center Brandon Clarke due to a torn Achilles tendon. Xavier Tillman Sr. has been playing in Adams' place and rookie power forward Kenneth Lofton Jr. has been signed to a four-year deal to address frontcourt depth. The Grizzlies are waiving rookie point guard Kennedy Chandler to create a roster spot for Lofton.
