OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren left during the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Golden State Warriors with what appeared to be a right leg or hip injury.

Holmgren contested a layup from Andrew Wiggins and landed hard on the ground, stayed on the ground for a while and then was helped off the court. He put no pressure on the leg.

Holmgren was runner-up for Rookie of the Year last season and is one of the most efficient players in the league this season. He entered the night averaging 18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game and already had four rebounds in five minutes of action on Sunday.

The Thunder, one of the deepest teams in the league, are suddenly thin in the frontcourt. Holmgren had moved from forward to center because newly acquired big man Isaiah Hartenstein was out with a broken left hand. The Thunder were also missing forward/center Jaylin Williams (right hamstring) and guard/forward Kenrich Williams (right knee).
