Chet Holmgren

Chet Holmgren is listed on the Summer League roster for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fantasy Impact

Holmgren will see the court in Las Vegas after missing his whole rookie season with a Lisfranc injury. It is a positive sign for his status heading into next year.

Chet Holmgren will miss the entire 2022-23 NBA season after suffering a Lisfranc injury in his right foot on August 20 as reported by ESPN Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski.

Fantasy Impact

Holmgren suffered the injury will attempting to guard LeBron James at the rim on a fast break at Jamal Crawford’s Pro-Am “The Crawsover” on August 20. The second overall pick in this summer’s NBA draft will now miss his entire rookie season. Thus begins a disappointing start to the young big man’s career. The only consolation for fantasy managers is he can now be a sneaky draft and stash in dynasty formats for those willing to take him as a late-round flier on Draft Day.

Chet Holmgren is feared to have suffered major ligament damage in his right foot, potentially tears, and is seeking multiple opinions according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Fantasy Impact

Holmgren suffered the foot injury guarding LeBron James on a fast break on Saturday in The Crawsover Pro-Am in Seattle, Washington. He limped off the court and exited the game right after the play. Training camps start in September and the Thunder’s first game is October 19 but this injury, especially a torn ligament, could cost Holmgren a major portion of his rookie season. This injury does not do anything to quiet concerns about the 7’, 190-pound big man’s durability at the NBA level.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have selected Chet Holmgren with the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.

Fantasy Impact

This was the expectation all along and it now becomes official. Holmgren joins an OKC team in complete rebuild mode. He'll add some height to the Thunder rotation alongside Aleksej Pokusevski. There are a lot of question marks surrounding Holmgren's stature and frame, but his upside and ceiling is undeniable.

Gonzaga draft prospect Chet Holmgren is expected to go No. 2 overall to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fantasy Impact

Holmgren has been a polarizing prospect in the pre-draft process, with many viewing him as the top prospect and many viewing him as a potential bust candidate. Currently, it is expected that the Thunder take him with the second pick in the draft, assuming Jabari Smith goes first overall. If he does go to OKC, he has a high likelihood of being a starter in his first season and will likely be a frontrunner in the ROTY betting odds.
