Chet Holmgren Exits Tuesday's Game with Facial Injury After Returning from Illness

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren, who was available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs after missing the previous game due to illness, exited early in the fourth quarter of the 130-110 loss with an apparent facial injury. He took a shot to the face from teammate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and did not return. The Thunder may have taken a cautious approach given the Spurs' double-digit lead. An update on Holmgren's status for Thursday's rematch against San Antonio is expected by Wednesday night.
