Impact Holmgren dominated in his fourth Summer League contest of 2023, finishing with a game-high 25 points while rejecting five shots.

Chet Holmgren: 'It's Like the Injury Never Happened' Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren was able to join in on Summer League action as he awaits his NBA debut.

JULY 4, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Succeeds in shaking off rust Holmgren tallied 15 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 29 minutes during Monday's Summer League game against the Jazz.

Impact Holmgren looked sluggish at times during the first quarter as it took him time to find his legs, but he quickly snapped out of it and looked strong at both ends of the court in the second half. He led his team with four swatted shots and finished third on the Thunder in scoring despite his slow start. It was also reassuring to see Holmgren log nearly 30 minutes in his first game action in nearly a year.

Starting in Summer League Holmgren (foot) is in the starting lineup for Monday's Summer League game against the Jazz.

Impact This is exciting news for the organization after Holmgren went down with a Lisfranc injury last August that kept him out for the entire 2022 campaign. The team will undoubtedly keep a close eye on the forward's minutes in his first Summer League action of 2023, but this is a huge step for the forward as he gears up for the regular season.

Impact The No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft ended up redshirting during his first professional season after he underwent surgery in August to address a Lisfranc injury, and then had a follow-up procedure in December to remove hardware from his right foot. Before being diagnosed with the foot injury and getting surgery, Holmgren was a standout performer for the Thunder last summer, averaging 14.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 2.8 blocks and 1.6 steals in five appearances. The Thunder will open their summer slate July 3 in Salt Lake City and will play at least eight games between the two cities, but expect Holmgren to rest for some of those contests even if he gets full clearance for action next week.
