Hot Takes on Thunder vs. Rockets with Amen Thompson Injured, Chet Holmgren Out

The NBA's Summer League in Las Vegas continued Tuesday with some of the best young players in action in a matchup between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets defeated the Thunder 105-92 in a game that did not feature either Amen Thompson or Chet Holmgren. Thompson, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2023 draft, has been ruled out for the remainder of Summer League with an ankle sprain while Holmgren was held out for non-injury reasons.

With two of the top players out for Tuesday's matchup, it was a chance for some of each franchise's other young players to make a lasting impression, and the Thunder's Keyontae Johnson and the Rockets' Cam Whitmore did just that.
