Chet Holmgren Nearing Return as Thunder Star Progresses in Recovery

The Oklahoma City Thunder announced that Holmgren will be reevaluated in three to five weeks following a pelvic fracture sustained in November.

  • Chet Holmgren, the Thunder's standout player, has been recovering from a right iliac wing fracture suffered during a game against the Warriors on November 10, 2024.
  • The injury occurred after a hard fall during a midair collision with Andrew Wiggins and has kept Holmgren sidelined since then.
  • Holmgren was averaging 18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks per game in his first nine games of the season before the injury.
  • The Thunder, currently tied with the Cavaliers for the best record in the NBA at 34-6, have maintained their dominance despite Holmgren's absence.
  • Holmgren is expected to be reevaluated in three to five weeks, with hopes of returning this season to bolster the Thunder's defense and playoff aspirations.
