Last week, the Oklahoma City Thunder received terrible news regarding rookie Chet Holmgren. The No.2 overall pick was ruled out for the 2022-23 season due to a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.
Before the announcement, everybody was looking forward to seeing the team’s new Big Three play together. The trio would have featured Holmgren along with young stars in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey.
Obviously, the injury to Holmgren is disappointing but the silver lining is that his absence creates new opportunities for those on the Thunder's roster.
