A hard slam to the floor caused Chet Holmgren to suffer a gruesome hip fracture. He'll miss at least two months. What was once a probable 55-plus win campaign has turned into survival mode. OKC hopes to avoid the play-in tournament range.

Chet Holmgren’s Sunday night fall was more than the crippling of a breathtaking player. It was a hindrance for an unquenchable, fiery soul.

He’s expected to return this season, and a return-to-play protocol will be provided in eight to 10 weeks. Roughly minutes into Sunday's game, Holmgren fell on his hip after attempting to vertically contest Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins.
