What happened: Chet Holmgren made the trip to Los Angeles despite remaining listed as out due to right knee injury recovery. The forward has been sidelined since late October.
Why it matters: Holmgren was previously ruled out for at least 8 to 10 weeks following a knee injury sustained in the opening week of the season. His presence with the traveling group marks a positive step as Oklahoma City navigates a two-game skid to sit at 8-4.
By the numbers: Holmgren has recorded 12.0 points per game and 9.3 rebounds per game and 1.3 assists per game in 2026-27 through 3 games.
What to watch: Holmgren remains out of game action as he continues his multi-week rehabilitation program.
