Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Rough shooting performance
Rotowire
Holmgren ended with eight points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes during Sunday's 92-87 victory over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Holmgren came off back-to-back impressive performances in Game 2 and Game 3 but couldn't get it going offensively in Game 4, as he failed to crack double digits. However, the Gonzaga product partly atoned by ripping down 13 rebounds in Sunday's win, the second-best total on the team behind Isaiah Hartenstein (14).

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Double-doubles in Game 2
Rotowire
Holmgren produced 15 points (3-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 149-106 victory over the Nuggets in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way for the Thunder in this dominant win, but Holmgren posted a solid stat line as well. Aside from ending with a double-double, the third one of his playoff run, he also recorded at least two tallies in each of the six major categories. Through six appearances in the postseason, Holmgren is averaging 16.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Serviceable effort in Game 1 loss
Rotowire
Holmgren provided 12 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to Denver in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Holmgren provided decent numbers on both ends of the floor but was certainly not at his best. Despite leading for most of the game, Oklahoma City came up just short thanks to a last-second three-pointer courtesy of Aaron Gordon. Having not played for more than a week may have factored into OKC's loss, but the team will look to bounce back Wednesday in Game 2.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Will play against Memphis on Sunday
Rotowire
Holmgren (back) has been upgraded to available for Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Holmgren missed the final two games of the regular season, but it was only because the Thunder were extremely cautious with the big man since OKC had already secured the top seed in the Western Conference. However, Holmgren should be ready to handle his regular two-way workload. The second-year big man was limited to only 32 appearances in the regular season, but he still averaged 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists per game.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Holmgren (back) is expected to play in the postseason.
Holmgren missed the final two games of the regular season, but his absences were likely precautionary, as the Thunder already had the No. 1 seed locked up. After appearing in all 82 regular-season games last season, Holmgren made only 32 appearances this year. Over his last five appearances, Holmgren averaged 17.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Logs double-double in win
Rotowire
Holmgren chipped in 22 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over the Suns.
Since returning from a lengthy absence, Holmgren has sat frequently for injury management and has ceded significant minutes to Isaiah Hartenstein (heel). Still, his teammate's absence allowed Holmgren to take full control under the basket. Despite an injury-filled 2024-25 campaign, the former first-round pick's numbers have been solid, averaging 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots over 32 games.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Quiet in 25 minutes
Rotowire
Holmgren finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-99 loss to the Lakers.
The Lakers ran away with this game early, so the Thunder pulled their starters quicker than usual. The Thunder have already claimed the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, so there could be some maintenance for their key players in the final four games of the regular season. The Thunder begin a back-to-back set Tuesday in a rematch against the Lakers.

Holmgren continues to make a strong defensive impact. He has logged multiple steals eight times this season and is averaging an impressive 2.4 blocks per game. Holmgren has now logged back-to-back double-doubles but is struggling with his outside shot as of late, converting just 30.6 percent of his 3.6 three-point attempts per contest across his previous 10 appearances.

Rotowire
Holmgren is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings with a left hip strain.
After being a late scratch ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Holmgren remains iffy to suit up for Tuesday. The Thunder would likely lean on Isaiah Hartenstein for the bulk of the center minutes if Holmgren remains sidelined against the Kings, with Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams likely handling expanded roles in that case.
