Adams exited in the third quarter of Saturday's 111-96 loss to the Thunder with a left ankle injury and was unable to return, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
Adams finished with four points (1-2 FG, 2-4 FT) and six rebounds in six minutes before departing. He'll benefit from some extra healing time with the Rockets off until Thursday against the Pelicans, but if Adams is unable to move past the ankle injury by then, Jock Landale would likely slot in as the primary backup to starting center Alperen Sengun.
