Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren to miss 2022-23 NBA season to foot injury

Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren, the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA draft this past June, will miss the entire 2022-23 season with a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, the team announced on Thursday.

The injury requires surgery in the coming weeks, Thunder general manager Sam Presti said on a Zoom call.

"Certainly, we are disappointed for Chet, especially given the excitement he had about getting on the floor with his teammates this season," Presti added in a statement. "We know Chet has a long career ahead of him within our organization and the Oklahoma City community.
