Ongoing maintenance, resulting from both injuries and age, limited Adams to just 57 games during his first season with the Rockets. Serving primarily as the backup behind Alperen Sengun, Adams closed the campaign with modest averages of 3.9 points and 5.7 rebounds in just 13.9 minutes per game. He continues to be one of the best per-minute rebounders in the league, with his efforts on the offensive glass a constant talking point. Despite his questionable production, Houston signed Adams to a new three-year deal during the offseason, highlighting just how important he is to what they are doing. However, Clint Capela was also signed to a three-year deal, complicating the situation regarding backup minutes. While Adams will likely play some sort of a role, it's hard to envisage him improving on what he did last season.
