Steven Adams said his first big purchase came yesterday: A new phone. Dropped his old one in a cold tub: pic.twitter.com/3mSn8fdkez

"I dropped my phone in the cold tub and it didn't work for the past three days, and stuff was going on," said Adams.

"My agent was trying to contact me and I was like 'I can't, I'm sorry. I just don't have a phone, so that was my purchase yesterday."

Adams went on to confirm his new phone is a Samsung Edge, or as he put it, "the one with the screen going across the side".
