Holmgren (back) is expected to play in the postseason.
Holmgren missed the final two games of the regular season, but his absences were likely precautionary, as the Thunder already had the No. 1 seed locked up. After appearing in all 82 regular-season games last season, Holmgren made only 32 appearances this year. Over his last five appearances, Holmgren averaged 17.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.2 blocks in 28.8 minutes per game.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Won't face Pelicans
Rotowire
Holmgren (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Just like it happened Friday against the Jazz, the Thunder will rest most of their regular rotation members for this regular-season finale after securing the top seed in the Western Conference and the best record in the league. Holmgren's injury isn't expected to be serious, though, and the big man will likely be available for the start of the playoffs April 19. His absence means the Thunder will likely turn to Jaylin Williams to shoulder the bulk of the load in the frontcourt alongside Kenrich Williams.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Logs double-double in win
Rotowire
Holmgren chipped in 22 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 win over the Suns.
Since returning from a lengthy absence, Holmgren has sat frequently for injury management and has ceded significant minutes to Isaiah Hartenstein (heel). Still, his teammate's absence allowed Holmgren to take full control under the basket. Despite an injury-filled 2024-25 campaign, the former first-round pick's numbers have been solid, averaging 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocked shots over 32 games.

Thunder's Chet Holmgren: Quiet in 25 minutes
Rotowire
Holmgren finished with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Sunday's 126-99 loss to the Lakers.
The Lakers ran away with this game early, so the Thunder pulled their starters quicker than usual. The Thunder have already claimed the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, so there could be some maintenance for their key players in the final four games of the regular season. The Thunder begin a back-to-back set Tuesday in a rematch against the Lakers.

Holmgren continues to make a strong defensive impact. He has logged multiple steals eight times this season and is averaging an impressive 2.4 blocks per game.
