What happened: Oklahoma City Thunder forward-center Chet Holmgren will miss at least eight to 10 weeks after undergoing a biological procedure on his right knee. The team announced the treatment addressed a small tear in the patellar tendon.

Why it matters: The prolonged recovery sidelines Oklahoma City's primary interior defender for more than two months. The Thunder must now adjust their frontcourt rotation to absorb the absence of their starting big man.

What to watch: Oklahoma City travels to face the Houston Rockets on Saturday, with tipoff scheduled for 8:30 PM ET.
