The Memphis Grizzlies will be without one of their key players for the entire 2023-24 season.
The Grizzlies on Sunday announced that center Steven Adams will undergo season-ending knee surgery. Adams has not played since last January with the knee injury, and the team said rehab “did not resolve ongoing knee instability.”

Adams played in 42 games last season. The 6-foot-11 center averaged 8.6 points and a career-high 11.5 rebounds per game.
Memphis will likely look to add a big man ahead of the start of the season this week. They have a trade exception available from when they sent Dillon Brooks to the Houston Rockets in a sign-and-trade over the summer.
