Chet Holmgren Out 8-to-10 Weeks Following Patellar Tendon Treatment

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren is expected to miss 8-to-10 weeks after undergoing a biological treatment to address a small patellar tendon tear on Friday. Three games into his 2026-27 season, Holmgren faces another setback in his young career after missing his entire 2022-23 rookie year with a foot injury and three months in 2024 with a pelvis fracture. The 2025 champion and 2026 All-Star joins teammates Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace on the Thunder's growing list of injured players.
