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: Hits for 23 in win over Phoenix
Rotowire
Holmgren posted 23 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Friday's 123-119 victory over the Suns.
The third-year big man bounced back from a brief scoring slump that had seen him top out at 12 points over the prior three games. Holmgren had delivered more than 20 points in five of the six games before that, however, and through 12 contests in November he's averaging 16.6 points, 7.2 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 threes while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor in 27.9 minutes.

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.

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.

Rotowire
Holmgren (lower back) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Holmgren (lower back sprain) will not play Wednesday against Portland.
Holmgren returned from a three-game absence during Tuesday's 126-107 victory over the Clippers, finishing with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes. 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.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Holmgren (back) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
It looks like Holmgren will be returning from a three-game absence Tuesday night, which should shift Aaron Wiggins back to the second unit and cause Jaylin Williams' minutes to dip. Tuesday's game will be the first of a back-to-back, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Holmgren sit out Wednesday's game in Portland for load-management purposes. Still, with four games on the schedule this week, Holmgren is worth rolling with in all fantasy formats.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Agrees to five-year max extension
Rotowire
Holmgren agreed to a fully guaranteed five-year maximum rookie contract extension with the Thunder on Wednesday that could reach $250 million, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After missing his rookie season due to a foot injury, the 2022 No. 2 overall pick appeared in all 82 regular-season games as a sophomore. Holmgren was injured again in 2024-25, missing three months early in the season due to a hip fracture. However, he appeared in all 23 postseason contests, averaging 15.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game, and he played an integral part in Oklahoma City's first NBA title. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander landed a long-term extension Tuesday, and now the Thunder will turn their sights on locking down All-NBA talent Jalen Williams (wrist).
