Overview
- A Monday tweet by Thunder insider Clemente Almanza reported Holmgren’s listed weight rose from 213 to 215 pounds, and that post quickly went viral across social media and sports outlets.
- Fans responded with jokes and memes that mocked the negligible two‑pound change, using quips about food and dinner‑time fluctuations to lampoon the coverage.
- Training camp opens Tuesday, Sept. 29 at the INTEGRIS Health Thunder Development Center, and the Oklahoma City Thunder included Holmgren on their announced 21‑player roster.
- Holmgren enters camp off a breakout season in which he averaged 17.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks, earned his first All‑Star nod, made All‑NBA Third Team and finished runner‑up for Defensive Player of the Year.
- There is no confirmed evidence that Holmgren made a substantive physical change from the two‑pound listing, and the immediate second‑order effect is that camp workouts and early practices will shape whether public doubts about his strength persist or fade.
