Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein Out vs. Hawks With Right Calf Strain
The center aggravated a right soleus injury against Philadelphia, with no timetable announced.
Overview
- Hartenstein was ruled out Monday for Oklahoma City's game against Atlanta with a right soleus (calf) strain.
- The injury is the same issue that sidelined him for six straight games from Nov. 28 to Dec. 10, per local reporting.
- He appeared to aggravate the calf late in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the 76ers and did not return.
- Hartenstein has started for the 27-5 Thunder, averaging 11.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists on 64.4% shooting.
- With Hartenstein and backup Jaylin Williams injured, Mark Daigneault faces frontcourt adjustments, and if the absence extends, reports suggest Chet Holmgren could shift to center with Cason Wallace entering the starting lineup.
