The Oklahoma City Thunder are eagerly awaiting Chet Holmgren’s return to the hardwood; the Gonzaga product was on the shelf for the entire 2022-23 NBA season with a Lisfranc Fracture after OKC made him the 2nd overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Oklahoma City has remained confident that his rehab has stayed on pace, and the next evolution in that seems to feature him playing at NBA Summer League.
