Double-streak continues Hartenstein finished Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Rockets with 19 points (9-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes.

Impact Hartenstein's red-hot start has been a pleasant surprise for the Thunder, who needed someone to step up to replace Chet Holmgren (hip). The Thunder found their man in Hartenstein, who made his season debut two weeks ago and has posted a double-double in every game.

Season-best effort on glass Hartenstein closed Friday's 101-93 victory over the Lakers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 18 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes.

Impact The 18 boards were a season high for Hartenstein, who produced his fourth straight double-double since making his Thunder debut Nov. 20. The veteran center has stabilized a frontcourt that had been struggling in the absence of Chet Holmgren (hip), and Hartenstein could hold down the starting job into February depending on how quickly Holmgren recovers from his fractured hip.

Double-doubles in first start Hartenstein chipped in 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes during Monday's 130-109 win over Sacramento.

Impact Hartenstein came off the bench in his season debut and only needed one appearance to return to the starting unit, posting another double-double just like he did in his campaign opener. Hartenstein is expected to anchor things down low for the Thunder and should have excellent two-way upside as long as he remains in a starting role, which should be the case as long as he stays healthy.

Returns to play Hartenstein (face) checked back in to Monday's game against Sacramento in the third quarter, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Hartenstein suffered a cut above his eye earlier in the quarter but has been cleared to return after a quick stop to the locker room. He should be a full go down the stretch of Monday's clash.

Sent to locker room Hartenstein ran to the locker room after suffering a laceration above his eye during Monday's game against the Kings, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Hartenstein took an elbow from Domantas Sabonis on a rebound attempt and was visibly bleeding immediately after the play. He presumably went to go get stitched up in an effort to return to a tight contest, though the training staff will have the final say on whether he'll be able to continue.

Joining first unit Hartenstein is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.

Impact Hartenstein was impressive in his 2024-25 debut Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, and the Thunder evidently feel confident enough in his health to roll him out with the starters. He logged 29 minutes Wednesday and will likely shoulder a similar workload Monday.

Isaiah Hartenstein posts double-double in debut with Thunder | NBA.com Isaiah Hartenstein was a force in the paint in his 1st game with the Oklahoma City Thunder after recovering from a preseason hand fracture.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • NBA.COM

Double-doubles in return Hartenstein closed with 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists and four blocks over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 victory over Portland.

Impact Hartenstein made his season debut for the Thunder, returning from a hand injury that cost him the first month of the season. Although he did come off the bench, Hartenstein played 29 minutes, tallying a double-double while putting up a team-best plus-16. It is unclear whether he will move into the starting lineup, although given the injury to Chet Holmgren, it does make sense. Nonetheless, Hartenstein should have a sizeable role for the Thunder, even more so given their lack of center depth.

Seismic return for Oklahoma City Hartenstein (hand) has been cleared for action and will play Wednesday versus Portland, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Hartenstein was set to be re-evaluated at the end of November, so his availability Wednesday crushes his initial timeline after suffering a non-displaced fracture in his left hand. He steps into a critical role with Chet Holmgren (hip) slated to be sidelined beyond the next month, although Hartenstein's initial ramp-up over the next week could be gradual. He profiles as a huge boost to Oklahoma City's rebounding, as well as an asset in the pick-and-roll for all involved.

Upgraded to questionable Hartenstein (hand) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Impact This is massive news for the Thunder, as Hartenstein was initially given a five-week timetable back on Oct. 17. With Chet Holmgren (hip) sidelined for multiple weeks, Hartenstein could step into a massive role right away for the Thunder, assuming his conditioning is up to par. Once Hartenstein does get the green light, the Thunder won't have to rely on their small-ball lineups as much.
