Thunder's Steven Adams scratched with calf tightness

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Steven Adams was a late scratch the starting lineup for the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday after experiencing some tightness in his left calf during pregame warmups.

Adams left the floor to get checked and treated and his availability to return is in question. Nerlens Noel started in place of Adams.

Adams, 25, is the cornerstone to the Thunder defensively and is averaging 14.0 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game this season.
