Chet Holmgren sidelined with ankle sprain in Thunder win over Hawks

Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder sustained a left ankle sprain during the first half of a game against the Atlanta Hawks, ultimately leading to his early exit at halftime. He managed to score seven points along with four rebounds and three assists in just 15 minutes of play. This injury follows a previous setback where Holmgren missed 39 games earlier this season due to a pelvic fracture, raising concerns about his ongoing health. The Thunder, currently leading the Western Conference at 47-11, will need to monitor Holmgren's status closely as they aim for a strong finish to the regular season. Additionally, Isaiah Joe also exited the game due to lower back soreness. The Thunder's next matchup is against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.
