Centre Steven Adams has undergone surgery on his left ankle which ends his season, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Wednesday.
Adams has not played since Jan. 18 after sustaining a severe ankle sprain against the Pelicans.
Adams played 32 games for Houston this season, including 11 starts. He averaged 5.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in 22.8 minutes per game.
Adams was traded to the Rockets in 2024 from Memphis. He missed the entire 2023-24 Grizzlies campaign after PCL surgery.
The six-foot-11 New Zealander spent the first seven years of his NBA career with the Oklahoma City Thunder, before being traded to New Orleans in 2020.
The Rockets (28-16) sit fourth in the Western Conference. They host their in-state-rival San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.
