Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Out at least five weeks
The Oklahoma City Thunder announced Thursday that Isaiah Hartenstein suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left hand and will be re-evaluated in 5-to-6 weeks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.Hartenstein suffered the injury during the second half of Tuesday's preseason game versus the Nuggets. After averaging 25.3 minutes per game over 75 appearances for the Knicks in 2023-24, the 26-year-old signed a three-year, $87 million contract with the Thunder this summer and was expected to be the Oklahoma City's starting center in a frontcourt featuring Chet Holmgren at power forward. However, with Hartenstein likely out until at least early December, Holmgren should slide over to the center position, and Alex Caruso could enter the starting five.

It's unclear if Hartenstein will open the season in a starting role, but a frontcourt with him and Holmgren would be an imposing duo, particularly on the defensive end.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Bound for OKC on three-year deal
Isaiah Hartenstein agreed with the Oklahoma City Thunder on a three-year, $87 million contract Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Hartenstein had a massive market heading into free agency, so the Thunder had to act quickly to secure his services. Frontcourt depth was an obvious weakness for the Thunder last season, so adding Hartenstein will make Oklahoma City an even more formidable threat in the Western Conference. During the 2023-24 campaign with the Knicks, Hartenstein produced averages of 7.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in 25.3 minutes per contest over 75 regular-season appearances. Assuming the Thunder choose to deploy Hartenstein as their starting center, Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams will likely slide to power forward and small forward, respectively, while one of Luguentz Dort or Alex Caruso would head to the bench.
