Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren has suffered a small patellar tendon tear and is expected to miss eight to ten weeks, according to a report from OKC Thunder Wire on Saturday.
The injury occurred during the Thunder's game against the Denver Nuggets on October 22 at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Holmgren was photographed driving past Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon in the first quarter before exiting the contest.
Thunder medical staff will evaluate Holmgren's recovery timeline, with the team hoping for his return in early January if rehabilitation progresses as projected.
