Steven Adams Doesn't Practice Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He's dealing with a bruised right knee and will be re-evaluated on Friday.

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
