One of the NBA’s new unicorns breaks: Chet Holmgren’s injury

Chet Holmgren HE injured and left the field after only five minutes of the game and his Oklahoma City Thunder fell for 116-127 before the Golden State Warriors from a great Stephen Curry.

Holmgren went to block Andrew Wiggins, collided with the Warriors player in the air and suffered an ugly fall in which he injured his hip and forced him to leave the match. The first tests have determined that he suffers from right iliac hip fracture and will be re-evaluated in eight weeks.

Holmgren is the interior mainstay of these Thunder who are already dealing with another significant loss in the paint with the absence of Isaiah Hartenstein.

Aside from the center, the news in Oklahoma was the victory of the Warriors who confirmed their excellent moment and are now second in the West at 8-2.

The Thunder now have the same record while the first in that conference alone are the Phoenix Suns with 8-1.

Curry gave a recital with 36 points, 13 of 23 in field goals and 7 of 13 in triples. The point guard also added 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

Jonathan Kuminga (20 points and 5 rebounds), Andrew Wiggins (18 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists), Draymond Green (8 points and 11 assists) and De’Anthony Melton (19 points and 10 rebounds) rounded off a very complete performance and with a lot of success from the perimeter (21 of 43 in triples) from Steve Kerr’s team.

For the Thunder, who lost by 30 points in the third quarter, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (24 points and 5 rebounds) and Jalen Williams (20 points) were the top scorers. EFE
