Clearly Holmgren is aiming to keep a positive attitude about his situation. It isn't his first go-around with a serious injury; he missed his whole rookie season with a fractured foot after getting picked second in the 2022 NBA draft. While this ailment doesn't seem nearly as serious it's still a terrible development for both player and team.

Following the game, Holmgren shared a message on his X account, addressing the injury.

Oklahoma City Thunder big man Chet Holmgren went down with an injury during the first quarter against the Golden State Warriors. While contesting a layup attempt against Warriors wing Andrew Wiggins on Sunday, the 22-year-old made an effort to stop the basket and then landed on his hip.
