Holmgren (rest) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
As expected, Holmgren will return to action Sunday after sitting out Saturday's win in Detroit. Holmgren chipped in 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 118-112 win over Boston, but his production has been sporadic since returning from a three-game absence in early February.

Rotowire
Holmgren (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Not playing Sunday
Rotowire
Holmgren (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Holmgren exited Friday's win over the Hawks after notching seven points, four rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes, and the big man simply couldn't play through an ankle injury that was bothering him before the contest. It's unclear if Holmgren will have to endure a spell on the sidelines, but his next chance to play will come Monday against the Rockets in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Drops 20 on Utah in win
Rotowire
Holmgren posted 20 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 28 minutes during Friday's 130-107 win over Utah.
It was Holmgren's best scoring effort since Nov. 8. Coming out of the All-Star break, he appears fully back up to game speed after missing nearly three months due to a hip injury. It's not clear whether Holmgren will be allowed to play in back-to-back contests yet, so he could get rested for one end of the Thunder's home-and-home set against the Timberwolves on Sunday and Monday.

Rotowire
Holmgren (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
Holmgren has played in two of the Thunder's last three games after returning from a right iliac wing fracture. He'll continue to rest on occasion and operate on a minutes restriction when he is on the floor, and his next chance to suit up will be Thursday against the Timberwolves. Aaron Wiggins, Luguentz Dort and Isaiah Joe are all candidates to enter the Thunder's starting lineup Wednesday due to Holmgren's absence.

Rotowire
Holmgren contributed 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, five blocks and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 137-101 victory over New Orleans.
Holmgren is starting to get back to form as one of the Thunder's best all-around players, as he recorded five blocks in Monday's blowout win against the Pelicans. Despite playing only 25 minutes in the win over New Orleans, the 22-year-old big man made his presence known defensively while showing he might be coming around offensively, scoring 12 points, which is three points shy of what he averaged last season (15.0).

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Makes impact in limited court time
Rotowire
Holmgren (hip) tallied four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist across 22 minutes in Friday's 121-109 win over the Raptors.
After sustaining a right iliac wing fracture Nov. 10, Holmgren was generally expected to be sidelined through the All-Star break, but he made his surprise return to the action Friday, joining Isaiah Hartenstein as a starter in the frontcourt. Though he was operating under a minutes limit in his first game in three months, Holmgren made an immediate impact with his length on the defensive end. He recorded six defensive counters during his time on the floor while holding opposing Raptors to 1-for-8 shooting in the paint as a contesting defender, per Second Spectrum. Holmgren should see his minutes steadily ramp up in the games to come, though the Thunder could opt to hold him out of action entirely for maintenance purposes Saturday versus the Grizzlies on the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Left off injury report
Rotowire
Holmgren (hip) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Raptors, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Holmgren hasn't played since Nov. 10 due to a fractured right hip. However, considering the 22-year-old big man was expected to be re-evaluated in 3-5 weeks from mid-January, a return to action Friday can be seen as the best-case scenario. While Holmgren will likely operate under a minutes restriction as he works his way fully back to game shape, he should start in the Thunder's frontcourt alongside Isaiah Hartenstein.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Beginning to ramp up
Rotowire
Holmgren (hip) joined the Thunder for their four-game road trip that began Wednesday and is beginning to increase his physical activity, Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports.
Prior to Wednesday's 129-122 loss to the Cavaliers, Holmgren was seen going through some movement drills on the court during the Thunder's shootaround that day. The activity came just over a week after Holmgren was cleared to ditch the crutches he had been using to get around since suffering a right iliac wing fracture Nov. 10. Now two months removed from the injury, Holmgren is within the 8-to-10-week period the Thunder had previously cited as the point that the team would provide an update on his return-to-play protocol. Oklahoma City is thus expected to update Holmgren's status soon, though since he's not yet practicing, he's probably at least a couple weeks away from being ready for game action.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Holmgren (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Warriors, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Holmgren was helped to the locker room in the first quarter after landing on his right hip while attempting a block on Andrew Wiggins. Given the hard fall, it wouldn't be surprising if Holmgren is held out Monday against the Clippers. Isaiah Joe was inserted into the Thunder's starting five in the second half in Holmgren's absence.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Posts 29 points in win
Rotowire
Holmgren totaled 29 points (8-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 29 minutes during Friday's 126-107 victory over Houston.
The Thunder have struggled a bit offensively, but when Holmgrean and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are dialed in at he same time, an excellent team result usually follows. Holmgren has registered double-digit rebounds four times this season, and his five-rebound result Friday was a bit of an outlier. Despite Friday's low number, Holmgren is a nightly double-double threat who will also add his share of blocked shots.
