Holmgren (hip) leaves OKC loss after hard fall
OKLAHOMA CITY — Thunder star Chet Holmgren left Sunday’s 127-116 loss to the Golden State Warriors with a right hip injury.
Holmgren took a scary fall when he went to challenge an Andrew Wiggins drive inside midway through the first quarter. After a midair collision, Holmgren fell hard on his right side.
The Thunder big man remained on the floor in apparent pain for a moment before needing help off the court and into the locker room. He didn’t put any weight on his right leg as he left with 6:50 to go in the first quarter.
Holmgren exited with four rebounds and no points.
Through his first nine games, Holmgren averaged 18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. The Thunder are 8-2 after Sunday’s loss.
Without the No. 2 pick of the 2022 draft, the Thunder had to utilize small lineups against the Warriors. Backup center Isaiah Hartenstein has been sidelined to start the season with a small nondisplaced fracture in his left hand.
The Thunder face the LA Clippers on Monday in Oklahoma City.
