Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Season high in boards Friday
Rotowire
Holmgren notched 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 131-94 win over Golden State.
The 15 boards were a season high for Holmgren, while the double-double was his third in the last six games and seventh of the season. The 23-year-old big has been a terror at the rim of late, rejecting at least three shots in four straight games and recording multiple blocks in eight of his last 14 contests -- a stretch in which he's averaging 18.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.4 threes while shooting 59.8 percent from the floor and 45.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Rotowire

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Flirts with double-double in win
Rotowire
Holmgren posted 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 30 minutes during Monday's 140-129 win over Atlanta.
Holmgren came one rebound shy of his sixth double-double of the season during the victory. He's been very effective off the glass while Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) recovers from a calf injury, and Holmgren logged 30 minutes in the effort with Jaylin Williams (heel) also sidelined. Holmgren should be considered a solid source of rebounds whenever Hartenstein is out.

Rotowire

Holmgren came into Sunday's contest in an offensive slump of sorts, averaging 10.3 points over his previous three appearances, but he bounced back in a major way Sunday, racking up a game-high 29 points. In addition to his offensive output, Holmgren made a significant impact on the defensive end, matching his season high of four blocks.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-double against Spurs
Rotowire
Holmgren notched 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block across 31 minutes during Thursday's 117-102 loss to San Antonio.
The double-double was Holmgren's fifth of the season, and first since Nov. 11. The 23-year-old big looked none the worse for wear after leaving Tuesday's contest in the fourth quarter after getting popped in the face, and over his last 12 contests he's averaging 17.4 points, 7.8 boards, 1.4 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Exits early Tuesday
Rotowire
Holmgren exited Tuesday's 130-110 loss to the Spurs with 7:08 remaining in the fourth quarter due to an apparent facial injury and did not return, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Holmgren took a shot to the face from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and did not check back in after exiting the game. While it's unclear if Holmgren was available to return, the Thunder could have been taking a cautious approach considering the Spurs had a double-digit lead. The star big man's next opportunity to play will come in Thursday's rematch against San Antonio, and the Thunder are expected to provide an update on his status by Wednesday night.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Listed out for Monday
Rotowire
Holmgren (illness) will not play Monday against the Grizzlies.
Holmgren was unable to shake his questionable tag and will miss the front end of this back-to-back set. Isaiah Hartenstein (lower leg) and Jaylin Williams (heel) have already been ruled out, so the Thunder could deploy some small-ball lineups Monday. Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson could be in the mix for more run as a result.

Rotowire
Holmgren closed Friday's 132-111 win over the Mavericks with 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 23 minutes.
Holmgren and teammate Jalen Williams posted nearly identical box scores as each finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. Oklahoma City separated from Dallas in the third quarter, which limited his output. It's been a while since Holmgren tallied a double-double. After collecting three in the first four games of the year, the Gonzaga product's lone other double-double was back on Nov. 11.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Holmgren produced 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 123-115 win over the Trail Blazers.
Holmgren finished just one rebound away from recording what would've been his first double-double since Nov. 11, when he had 23 points and 11 boards in a win over the Warriors. The big man should continue playing at center following the return of Jalen Williams and the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein (calf). Holmgren is averaging 14.0 points, 7.6 boards, 2.0 assists and 1.6 blocks per game over his last five outings.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Scores 12 points with nine boards
Rotowire
Holmgren closed with 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 win over the Timberwolves.
While Holmgren struggled with his shot for most of the game, he came through when it mattered most, as he drilled a clutch triple with under a minute left to put the Thunder up for good. Head coach Mark Daigneault heaped praise on him after the match, calling Holmgren's late three-ball the "shot of the game," according to Nick Gallo of the Thunder's official site. With the win, the Thunder became just the fifth team in NBA history to open the season 18-1.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Minimal impact vs. Portland
Rotowire
Holmgren finished Sunday's 122-95 victory over the Trail Blazers with five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks over 25 minutes.
Holmgren had a rough offensive showing, and this five-point output was not only the first time he didn't score in double digits, but it was his worst scoring output of the campaign. Holmgren posted decent numbers in other categories, so there's a chance this was nothing more than an off night for the big man's jumper. Holmgren is averaging a solid 16.4 points per game in November, even when factoring in this five-point effort Sunday.

He was nearly as productive on the boards, falling just one rebound shy of a double-double. Holmgren continues to play at a high level, pouring in 20-plus points in four of his last five matchups.

Holmgren had 23 points (9-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 win over the Warriors.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stole the show with a 28-point, 11-assist performance, but Holmgren was excellent as well, posting a double-double without missing a single shot from the field. This was Holmgren's fourth double-double of the season and first since Oct. 27. Expect Holmgren to continue operating as the Thunder's second option behind Gilgeous-Alexander while Jalen Williams (wrist) is sidelined.

Holmgren (lower back sprain) will not play Wednesday against Portland.

The Thunder will play it safe on the second leg of this back-to-back set, however. In Holmgren's absence, the Thunder will likely rely on Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Logs 11 points in return
Rotowire
Holmgren (back) racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 126-107 victory over the Clippers.
Back in the starting lineup after missing three games with a low back strain, Holmgren didn't operate with any restrictions. He still had a muted performance in his return to the court, with his 11-point output representing his lowest scoring tally of his five appearances on the season. The Thunder will face a quick turnaround with their next game coming Wednesday in Portland, so it wouldn't be surprising if Holmgren was held out for maintenance purposes in that game or had his playing time monitored more closely if he suits up.
