A bloody nose proved to be no problem for Steven Adams on Tuesday

Thunder center Steven Adams proved to be indestructible once again Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves after he was apparently hit in the face.

Adams has established himself as one of the toughest players in the league over the years. He isn’t afraid to lay down some hard screens on opponents and has infamously been known to take a few shots to the groin area.

The 7-footer suffered a bloody nose after taking a shot to the face during the first few minutes of the game on Tuesday. Rather than checking out of the game, Adams instead opted to plug the leak.

The display by Adams during the game caught the eye of several on social media as he once again had Twitter talking. The announcers for the Timberwolves were also having fun with it.

Adams had 11 points and five rebounds in the first half.
