Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Posts excellent numbers in return
Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) finished with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, four blocks and three assists across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 victory over Portland.Hartenstein made his season debut for the Oklahoma City Thunder, returning from a non-displaced fractured left hand that cost him the first month of the season. Though the Thunder brought him off the bench, Hartenstein played major minutes, tallying a double-double while putting up a team-best plus-16 point differential. Given the long-term absence of Chet Holmgren (hip), Hartenstein should be a candidate to move into the starting five eventually, perhaps after getting another practice or two under his belt. Regardless, Hartenstein should have a sizable role for the Thunder while the team is short on healthy centers.

Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Upgraded to questionable
Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland.This is massive news for the Oklahoma City Thunder, as Hartenstein was initially given a five-week timetable back on Oct. 17. With Chet Holmgren (hip) sidelined for multiple weeks, Hartenstein could step into a massive role right away for the Thunder, assuming his conditioning is up to par. Once Hartenstein does get the green light, the Thunder won't have to rely on their small-ball lineups as much.

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.
