Thunder center Chet Holmgren is set to return from injury on Friday against the Toronto Raptors, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Holmgren has been out since November 10, when he suffered a pelvic fracture on a hard fall in a game against the Golden State Warriors.
Prior to the injury, Holmgren was averaging 16.4 points and 8.7 rebounds in 10 games early in the season. Since then, the Thunder have managed to maintain their Western Conference supremacy, owning a 40-9 record and the top spot in the West after Wednesday night’s 140-109 win over the Suns, during which Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 50 points.
Holmgren is in his second full season with Oklahoma City — after being drafted No. 2 overall by the Thunder in 2022, he missed the following season with an injury. During the 2023-24 season, Holmgren played in all 82 games, averaging 16.2 points and 7.9 rebounds.
Friday night’s game against the Raptors is the final game of a four-game homestand for Oklahoma City, and they’ll aim to go 4-0 in that stretch.
