Teams in the NBA won’t begin training camp for the 2022-23 season for another month but the Rookie of the Year odds saw a drastic change after a key injury.
Of course, the Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Thursday that Chet Holmgren will miss the season after suffering a Lisfranc injury in his right foot. The setback will require surgery but he is expected to make a full recovery.
As the second pick, Holmgren had enormous expectations of him this season. He was viewed as a key addition to the Thunder and was a Rookie of the Year candidate. In fact, Holmgren had the third-highest odds (+400) of winning the award prior to summer league.
With Holmgren now out for the season, the Tipico Sportsbook has released an updated set of odds for the rookie class. There were several changes to the odds, not only accounting for the injury to Holmgren but also for how each player performed in summer league and other factors.
Here are the updated odds for the 2022-23 NBA Rookie of the Year race.
