Won't play Wednesday Holmgren (lower back sprain) will not play Wednesday against Portland.

Impact Holmgren returned from a three-game absence during Tuesday's 126-107 victory over the Clippers, finishing with 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes. The Thunder will play it safe on the second leg of this back-to-back set, however. In Holmgren's absence, the Thunder will likely rely on Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams.

Logs 11 points in return Holmgren racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 126-107 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Holmgren was back in the starting lineup after missing three games with a back injury, but his contribution wasn't very significant. His 11 points marked his lowest scoring total of the season, and it may take another game or two for the third-year pro to get back up to speed. The Thunder have a quick turnaround, so it wouldn't be surprising to see a cap on Holmgren's minutes against Portland.

Not listed on injury report Holmgren (back) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact It looks like Holmgren will be returning from a three-game stint on the sidelines Tuesday night, which should shift Aaron Wiggins back to the second unit and Jaylin Williams' minutes will dip. Tuesday's game will be the first of a back-to-back, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Holmgren return to the sidelines for Wednesday's game in Portland. Still, with four games on the schedule, Holmgren is worth activating in all leagues.

NOVEMBER 2 • Associated Press

Out again Sunday Holmgren (back) will not play Sunday against the Pelicans.

Impact Holmgren will miss his third game in a row and it's not a great sign that he's being ruled out a day in advance. His next chance to play comes Tuesday against the Clippers which is the front end of a back-to-back set. Jaylin Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein could see a bump in value with this news, as well as Cason Wallace and Aaron Wiggins if the Thunder opt to play a bit smaller.
