Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Holmgren (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Holmgren was hot to start Wednesday's game, drilling six triples to tie his career high in three-point makes by halftime, but the Knicks did a good job of keeping him out of the mix over the second half.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Rotowire
Holmgren registered 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 victory over the Mavericks.
Holmgren delivered a bounce-back performance on offense. This 19-point output was his best mark since he recorded 20 points in a win over the Pelicans on Jan. 27, and he finished just one board shy of posting what would've been a second straight double-double. Holmgren is averaging 14.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game since the All-Star break and should continue to operate as the Thunder's No. 2 option on offense behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as long as Jalen Williams (hamstring) remains on the shelf.

Rotowire
Holmgren is questionable for Tuesday's game against Toronto with back spasms, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Tuesday is the front end of a back-to-back, so it's not shocking to see Oklahoma City think about giving the star big man a maintenance day. Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams could both be thrust into an elevated role if Holmgren isn't available Tuesday.
