The Oklahoma City Thunder said Friday that Chet Holmgren continues to make progress in his recovery from a pelvic fracture and will be re-evaluated in three-to-five weeks.
Holmgren was hurt Nov. 10 after he took a hard fall when he went to challenge an Andrew Wiggins drive midway through the first quarter of a 127-116 home loss to the Golden State Warriors.
The team diagnosed him with what it said was a right iliac wing fracture and did not provide a timetable for his return at the time, only saying he’d be reevaluated in eight-to-10 weeks.
Through his first nine games, he had averaged 18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. The No. 2 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, Holmgren missed the first NBA season after he was drafted because of a Lisfranc injury. He played all 82 games last season.
The West-best Thunder haven’t missed a beat without him this season, improving to 34-6 overall with a victory over the East-leading Cavaliers on Thursday.
