Chet Holmgren out at least 2 months with knee injury and Cason Wallace has
shoulder surgery
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) --- Chet Holmgren will miss about two months because of a
right knee injury, continuing the Oklahoma City Thunder's run of bad injury
news early in the season.
Already potentially without Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace for the rest of
the regular season, the Thunder said Holmgren began experiencing discomfort in
his knee last Sunday. The team said that after a series of consultations with
specialists, Holmgren underwent a biological treatment Friday to address a
small patellar tendon tear.
The Thunder said Holmgren was expected to return in eight to 10 weeks.
Wallace also had surgery Friday for a labral tear in his left shoulder. The
surgery was performed in Los Angeles by Dr. Neal ElAttrache at the Cedars-Sinai
Kerlan-Jobe Institute in Los Angeles with Thunder medical personnel present.
The guard will be evaluated again before the end of the regular season.
Williams sustained a broken left fibula and dislocated left ankle Sunday. The
Thunder already said after his surgery he also would be evaluated again before
the end of the regular season.
