Isaiah Hartenstein Returns from Month-Long Absence for Thursday's Game

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game in Minnesota, signaling his return from a month-long absence. He is expected to have strict minutes restrictions in his first game back. Hartenstein's return will likely shift Chet Holmgren to the power forward position, moving Jaylin Williams to the bench and potentially removing Branden Carlson from the rotation.
