The Oklahoma City Thunder face challenges as their star center suffers a significant injury, impacting their strong start to the season.

  • Chet Holmgren sustained a right iliac wing fracture during a game against the Golden State Warriors, sidelining him for 8-10 weeks.
  • The injury occurred when Holmgren collided with Andrew Wiggins while contesting a layup, leading to a hard fall on his right hip.
  • Holmgren, averaging 18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks, has been a key player for the Thunder, who are currently 8-2.
  • With Holmgren out, Oklahoma City will rely on small-ball lineups due to other injuries in their frontcourt, including Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams.
