Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams will miss Saturday's game against the New York Knicks after being placed in the concussion protocol.

Per ESPN's Royce Young, Adams was injured after taking an elbow to the face during the first overtime against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.

Adams has long been considered one of the Thunder's most durable players, appearing in 160 of 164 games combined during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons.

However, the start of the 2017-18 campaign wasn't quite as kind to the New Zealander after a calf contusion sidelined him for three games in November.
