ABOUT 30 MINUTES after his first NBA preseason game in October, having missed the entire 2022-23 campaign with a foot injury, Chet Holmgren bounded out of the Oklahoma City Thunder's locker room and ran into Victor Wembanyama's family.
When Wembanyama saw Holmgren in the hallway, he smiled and turned to introduce Holmgren to his mother, Elodie, who was making her first visit to Oklahoma to see the game. And what a show she and the rest of the fans at Paycom Center had taken in that night.
