Summary
Oklahoma City expects Chet Holmgren to miss eight to 10 weeks after he developed right knee discomfort Sunday and underwent a biological treatment Friday.
The Thunder said multiple specialists found a small tear in Holmgren's patellar tendon, sidelining a key starter for much of the next two months.
Oklahoma City was already facing a thinner rotation: Jalen Williams suffered a broken left fibula and dislocated left ankle, while Cason Wallace had surgery Friday for a left shoulder labral tear.
Williams and Wallace are both set to be reevaluated before the end of the regular season, leaving the defending champions to manage another early-season injury wave.
