Thunder's Chet Holmgren: To miss at least 8-10 weeks
Rotowire
Holmgren underwent a biological treatment Friday to address a small patellar tendon tear and will miss at least 8-10 weeks, Nick Crain of Slam reports.
This is another massive blow to an Oklahoma City squad that's already set to be without Jalen Williams (leg) and Cason Wallace (shoulder) for most, if not all, of the season. With Holmgren sidelined, Kenrich Williams, Jaylin Williams and Aday Mara are all candidates to see increased playing time. Two-way player Brooks Barnhizer could also see more minutes in the short term.

Holmgren (knee) is out for Monday's game versus the Suns.
The star big man is sitting out the second part of this back-to-back set. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams should help pick up the slack at power forward for the Thunder on Monday, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander likely soaking up all the usage he can handle.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Piles up four more blocks
Rotowire
Holmgren totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 96-84 win over the Nuggets.
That makes it back-to-back four-block performances to begin the year for the star big man, who corralled a game-high 17 boards Thursday. There was some concern regarding Holmgren's health heading into the season, as he missed the preseason with a bruised quad, but he's looked no worse for wear in the early stages of the campaign.

Rotowire
Holmgren finished with 14 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 win over San Antonio.
Holmgren had a steady night as a starter, tying Jalen Williams for the team lead in rebounds and leading the Thunder in blocks. He scored most of his points at the line, going 8-for-8 at rhe chraity stripe. He also took a hard fall in the second quarter when De'Aaron Fox's flagrant foul on him sparked a brief shoving match between the two teams. He seemed fine after the incident.
Holmgren (quad) is available for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Spurs, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Holmgren did not play during the preseason due to the quad issue, but he'll be out there for Opening Night. Holmgren was a top-20 player last season with averages of 17.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.9 blocks per contest, and he should provide similar production in his age-24 season.
