Thunder's Adams will not play Monday after injuring hand Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets after leaving Sunday's contest with a hand injury.

Adams left the win over the Los Angeles Clippers after injuring his right hand battling for a rebound. The seven-footer remained in the game to shoot a one-handed free throw, however, before checking out and not returning.

The 21-year-old New Zealander is averaging 7.4 points and seven rebounds in 24.3 minutes a game this season.
