Rockets' Steven Adams: Not on bench to start third quarter

Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime of Friday's game against the Nuggets for undisclosed reasons, Adam Wexler of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Adams isn't on the bench coming out of halftime, though it's uncertain why he remained in the locker room. Reed Sheppard, who scored 20 points in the first half, replaced Adams in the starting lineup to open the third period.
