Chet Holmgren out 8-10 weeks with knee injury for Thunder

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren will miss 8-to-10 weeks due to a small patellar tendon tear. The team announced that Holmgren underwent a biological treatment following right knee discomfort experienced during a recent game against the LA Clippers. He had missed the previous two games due to patellar tendinitis. Holmgren's absence adds to the Thunder's challenges, as Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace are also sidelined, potentially impacting the team's championship aspirations. Holmgren is expected to be re-evaluated around January 2027.
