Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren has been ruled out for 8 to 10 weeks due to a patellar tendon tear, further compounding the team's injury concerns.

The 7-foot forward sustained the injury recently, and the Thunder's medical staff has estimated a recovery window of two to two-and-a-half months. Holmgren's absence leaves a significant gap in Oklahoma City's frontcourt rotation.

The Thunder have already been dealing with multiple injuries early in the season, and Holmgren's setback adds to the challenges facing the coaching staff as they adjust their lineup.
