Isaiah Hartenstein Remains Out for Friday's Game, Seventh Straight Absence

Isaiah Hartenstein (soleus) will remain sidelined for Friday's game in Memphis, marking his seventh consecutive absence. The Thunder rarely provide timetables for injured players, but being ruled out 24 hours in advance suggests his return is not imminent. With Chet Holmgren (shin) also out, Jalen Williams could be asked to spend more time at center, potentially leading to increased minutes for Aaron Wiggins and Kenrich Williams.
