Several OKC Thunder players react to Chet Holmgren's latest injury, absence

In a nightmare year, the Oklahoma City Thunder learned additional grim news right before Halloween. Chet Holmgren sustained a small torn patellar tendon. He will miss 8-to-10 weeks with the injury as he went through a biological treatment. Brutal. Just brutal. I feel like I've typed out that word — and other similar ones — over the last week. The Thunder have lost three of their four best players for the foreseeable future. Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace are out for most — if not all — of the 2026-27 season. Williams sustained a fractured fibula and a dislocated ankle.
