Impact Holmgren did a little bit of everything in just 21 minutes in Sunday's blowout playoff contest, leading all players in rebounds to go along with a team-high-tying pair of blocks in a double-double performance. Holmgren recorded a double-double in 11 games during the regular season, adding at least a pair of blocks in six of those outings.

Will play against Memphis on Sunday Holmgren (back) has been upgraded to available for Game 1 against the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Impact Holmgren missed the final two games of the regular season, but it was only because the Thunder were extremely cautious with the big man since OKC had already secured the top seed in the Western Conference. However, Holmgren should be ready to handle his regular two-way workload. The second-year big man was limited to only 32 appearances in the regular season, but he still averaged 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists per game.

Expected to play Sunday Holmgren (back) is expected to play in the postseason.
Impact Holmgren missed the final two games of the regular season, but his absences were likely precautionary, as the Thunder already had the No. 1 seed locked up. After appearing in all 82 regular-season games last season, Holmgren made only 32 appearances this year. Over his last five appearances, Holmgren averaged 17.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game.

Final Injury Report For Thunder-Pelicans, Will Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren Play? The Oklahoma City Thunder may be without two of their star players in Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Won't face Pelicans Holmgren (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Impact Just like it happened Friday against the Jazz, the Thunder will rest the majority of their regular rotation members for this regular-season finale after securing not only the top seed in the Western Conference, but also the best record in the league. Holmgren's injury isn't expected to be serious, though, and the big man is likely to be available for the start of the playoffs April 19. His absence means the Thunder will likely turn to Jaylin Williams to shoulder the bulk of the load in the frontcourt alongside Kenrich Williams.

Logs double-double in win Holmgren chipped in 22 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over the Suns.
Impact Since returning from a lengthy absence, Holmgren has sat frequently for injury management and has ceded significant minutes to Isaiah Hartenstein (heel), but his teammate's absence allowed Holmgren to take full control under the basket. Despite an injury-filled 2024-25 campaign, the former first-round pick's numbers have been solid, averaging 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots over 32 games.
