Oklahoma City Thunder star Chet Holmgren will miss Saturday's road game against the Houston Rockets due to right knee patellar tendinitis, marking his third consecutive absence.
The Thunder (4-1) will also be without Jalen Williams (left ankle surgery), Cason Wallace (left shoulder labral tear), Alex Caruso (right ankle sprain), Nikola Topić (low back surgery) and Thomas Sorber (right knee surgery) for the 7:30 p.m. CT matchup.
Williams and Wallace sustained their injuries during Oklahoma City's win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Williams underwent successful surgery on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated before the end of the regular season, while Wallace's timeline will be determined after his surgical procedure.
The Rockets had not yet submitted their injury report as of Friday evening.
