Chet Holmgren out eight to 10 weeks after knee procedure
Oklahoma City says Chet Holmgren will miss eight to 10 weeks after a biological treatment for a small patellar-tendon tear in his right knee. The injury adds to a severe week for the defending champions: Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace are also out for extended periods after injuries requiring surgery. Holmgren was a first-team All-Defensive and third-team All-NBA selection last season.
