Adams was released by the Vipers on Thursday according to RealGM.com.

EDGE Analysis

Adams played in just two games with the Vipers, scoring three points in 7.2 minutes across both contests. It's possible Adams could continue his career reclamation overseas.

Adams recently indicated that he's fully healthy and plans to attempt an NBA comeback, The League Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 2014 first-round pick of the Grizzlies, Adams was heralded for his strong shooting and defensive ability coming out of UCLA, but knee problems proved to be his undoing once he entered the professional ranks. After appearing in just 30 games as a rookie in 2014-15, Adams underwent surgery to repair a meniscus the following offseason and required two additional procedures over the subsequent year. He played only two games after his inaugural season and has been out of basketball since being waived by the Grizzlies in October 2016. Though he's confident in his health, Adams' long layoff from competitive action makes it unlikely that he'll be able to earn another look in the NBA.

Adams (knee) is expected to be waived by the Grizzlies on Saturday, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The former first-round pick appeared in only 32 games over his first two years in Memphis while battling chronic issues with his right knee. He underwent a cartilage transplant in June, which sidelined him throughout the summer and into training camp. While Adams said he anticipated returning at some point during the season, he'll have to seek a new home, as the Grizzlies have instead opted to keep undrafted rookie Troy Williams on the 15-man roster.

Adams (knee) said he expects to play at some point during the upcoming season, Chris Herrington of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams is entering his third NBA season, but chronic right knee issues have necessitated three procedures over the course of his career. While Adams spoke with assembled media Monday and suggested that he was pleased with how he's recovered from his latest operation, he'll still be sidelined throughout training camp and has no official timetable for a return. Even if Adams does get back on the court this season, he'll fill only a minor role off the bench for the Grizzlies, which will prevent him from establishing any meaningful fantasy value.

Adams is not expected to participate in training camp or preseason games.

EDGE Analysis

Adams had cartilage transplant surgery in his right knee back in June and has been rehabbing all throughout the offseason. Unfortunately, he appears to be a ways off from a full return to the court still, likely ruling him out of training camp and preseason play. With that said, his status also remains highly questionable for the season opener. He's yet to be given a concrete timetable for a return, but it wouldn't be surprising if he started the season on the team's injured list. Even when healthy, Adams isn't slated to be a part of the Grizzlies' regular rotation, so he's not worth drafting in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Adams (knee) will undergo cartilage transplant surgery on his right knee Wednesday, Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adams has dealt with recurring issues in his right knee, and he underwent surgery in January, ending his season after playing in only two games. This latest procedure will be the third in less than a calendar year, and he figures to miss extended time throughout the summer. The Grizzlies are yet to release a timetable, but it's possible Adams' absence could extend into fall training camp.

Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace said that Adams continues to rehab his surgically-repaired right knee and it still hasn't been determined if he'll play in the Summer League, Peter Fleischer of FOX 13 Memphis (WHBQ) reports.

EDGE Analysis

Updates on Adams' condition have been rather sparse since he underwent what ultimately proved to be season-ending arthroscopic surgery on the knee in early January. Adams played just two games in 2015-16 -- with none coming after Nov. 2 -- and has appeared in only 32 games total during his two NBA seasons. The 2014 first-round pick's injury issues look as if they could put his career at risk, and at the moment, it appears doubtful that he'll be able to recover in time to play in the Summer League. If that's the case, Adams could be at risk of losing his roster spot heading into the upcoming season.

The Grizzlies haven't given an update to Adams' (knee) injury status since March 25, although the guard continues to participate in individual workouts, Ronald Tillery of The Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

It would be surprising for Adams to return this season, giving him only two appearances for the 2015-16 campaign while dealing with ongoing right knee soreness. He did undergo surgery to correct the issue back in early January, but the 21-year-old remains without a timeline for a return heading into the offseason.

Adams (knee) is expected to be reevaluated by the Grizzlies within the next few days. "I have been working hard throughout my rehab process to get back and join my teammates on the court as soon as possible," Adams said. "I am trying to ramp up my cardio workouts as of late and hoping to get back to practice soon."

EDGE Analysis

GM Chris Wallace echoed Adams' suggestion that he was progressing with his rehab, but a formal timetable for the second-year player's return has yet to be outlined. Since Adams hasn't played since early November and is still working his way back from arthroscopic surgery with less than a month remaining in the season, it seems unlikely that the 21-year-old will take the court before the playoffs commence.

Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace noted Wednesday that Adams (knee) was "progressing," but the swingman remains without a timetable for a return, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it's good to hear that Adams is showing improvement on some level, the sparseness of updates thus far in the his recovery process from arthroscopic right knee surgery in January doesn't offer much encouragement that he'll be back before the season ends in mid-April. If healthy, Adams would likely be in line for plenty of playing time with the Grizzlies dealing with a number of injuries at the moment, but unfortunately, staying on the court has been a major issue for the 21-year-old throughout his two seasons in the NBA.
