Adel recorded 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in 21 minutes during Wednesday's win over Canton.
EDGE Analysis
Adel recorded his second double-double of the season, grabbing a season-best 11 rebounds in Wednesday's effort. He's enmeshed himself in the starting five since returning from an undisclosed injury, though he's seen just 42 total minutes over his past two games. On the season, the Louisville product's averaging 11.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 22.5 minutes per contest.

Adel scored 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and added eight rebounds, two assists and a steal in 21 minutes during Friday's win over the Red Claws.
EDGE Analysis
Adel was masterful in his return from an undisclosed injury that had sidelined him for nearly two weeks. He'll look to step into a larger role as Long Island is now without both Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Henry Ellenson, both of whom were ahead of Adel on the depth chart. Across 14 games, the 22-year-old's averaging 11.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 22.4 minutes.

Adel was held out of Wednesday's tilt with Grand Rapids due to an undisclosed injury.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear what exactly's afflicting Adel, who was playing a pivotal role for Long Island. Barring any further updates from the team, Adel can be considered day-to-day heading into Saturday's game against the Swarm.

Adel recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 13 minutes during Monday's loss to the 905.
EDGE Analysis
Adel was productive in limited run Monday. His workload continues to fluctuate and should, even more, going forward with Nicholas Claxton recently joining Long Island. Across nine games, including four starts, so far, Adel's averaging 12.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 26.9 minutes.

Adel provided 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a block across 25 minutes in Sunday's loss to Maine.
EDGE Analysis
Adel returned to his usual bench role for Long Island with Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot returning to the fold. He continued his weel-rounded play, however, though he was unable to get his shot going from three. Adel is one of Long Island's primary rotational members, so the move back to the bench didn't impact his workload too much.

Adel posted 29 points (10-21 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 38 minutes in Friday's loss to Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
Adel buoyed Long Island's starters in place of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, impressing with his effort on both ends of the floor. The 22-year-old's rotated in-and-out of the starting lineup throughout the season, joining the first team in four-of-seven games. Though he's averaging a solid 13.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 29.1 minutes per game so far, Adel continues to be hampered by a sub-par three-point stroke as he's shooting just 26.9 percent from long-range on 3.7 attempts per game.

Adel supplied five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Skyhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Adel posted a solid line, finishing with a plus-three net rating in 19 minutes. He's failed to impress enough to get a second contract after seeing action in 19 games for Cleveland last year. Through six G-league games, including three starts, Adel's providing 11.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from three in 27.6 minutes.

Adel was waived by the Nets on Monday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adel, who averaged 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds in 10.2 minutes across 19 games for the Cavaliers last year, could be looking for a new home as the Nets reportedly waived the forward Monday. Considering the fact that the Nets still hold Adels' G-League rights, it seems like he'll end up playing in Long Island for at least part of the upcoming season.

Adel has agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Nets, Michael Scotto of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adel saw spot run with the Cavaliers last season, garnering 194 total minutes, including three starts. He was ineffective, but the Nets seem to feel the 22-year-old is worth investing in.

Adel (knee) scored 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT) including the game-winning basket in Thursday's 116-114 victory. He also contributed 10 rebounds.
EDGE Analysis
Forget the double-double, Adel's game-clinching double-clutch basket was a site to behold and certainly one of the two-way player's best moments with Canton to date. Expect Adel to continue starting at power forward so long as he's in the G League.
