Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren will miss Saturday's road game against the Houston Rockets due to right knee patellar tendinitis, marking his third consecutive absence.
The Thunder (4-1) will also be without Jalen Williams (left ankle surgery), Cason Wallace (left shoulder labral tear), Alex Caruso (right ankle sprain), Nikola Topić (low back surgery) and Thomas Sorber (right knee surgery).
Williams underwent successful surgery on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season, while Wallace's timeline will be determined after his procedure. Both players were injured during Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
General manager Sam Presti addressed Williams' injury before Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns.
The Rockets had not yet submitted their injury report as of Friday evening.
