Holmgren is expected to return during the 2024-25 NBA season, and an update on his return-to-play protocol will be provided in 8-10 weeks.

This is a devastating loss for the Thunder, a team many picked to represent the Western Conference in the 2025 NBA Finals before the season began. Without Holmgren, Oklahoma City will be very limited in their frontcourt, especially with new addition Isaiah Hartenstein being sidelined with a hand fracture he suffered in the preseason.

This is a developing story that will be updated shortly.
