The Oklahoma City Thunder rookie big man Chet Holmgren will miss the upcoming season with a ligament injury.

“I’m really sorry, it’s really bad news for us,” Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski said to Mozzart Sport. “But, he’s [Holmgren] a young guy, a real worker and I think he’ll successfully recover from everything and show why he was the No. 2 pick in the Draft.”
