Steven Adams walked back to the bench with a limp. He was visibly shaking after the fall.

If he's unable to go, Mike Muscala is the Thunder's only available center.

Adams's hand/forearm was visibly shaking when he went down. Heads straight to the tunnel. Don't forget no Nerlens Noel today either.

— Daily Thunder (@dailythunder) January 20, 2020

Nerlens Noel (left ankle soreness) is out today at Houston, per the Thunder.
