Holmgren (rest) will not play in Tuesday's preseason opener against New Orleans, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: To have more responsibility
Rotowire
Holmgren could be in line for an even larger offensive role after Oklahoma City's offseason roster shakeup, according to Bryan Toporek of Forbes.
The Thunder moved Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort primarily for financial reasons, thinning the supporting cast around Holmgren, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. Holmgren should remain an elite fantasy option thanks to his combination of scoring efficiency, floor spacing and shot-blocking.
