Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams won't play on Friday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Adams is dealing with an ankle injury:

The Thunder are 26-19 on the season. They are in seventh place in the Western Conference standings.

Adams has appeared in 40 games for the Thunder this season. He's averaging 11.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists while shooting 60.3 percent from the field and 56.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Adams is still on the Atlanta Hawks’ radar and talks could potentially pick up steam as the NBA’s February 6 trade deadline approaches, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.

Adams is making $25.8 million this season and is owed $27.5 million in 2020-21.
