As long as Holmgren makes a full recovery, Presti/OKC brass aren’t necessarily devastated over this injury. It’s another year to get a high draft position and Chet was going to help them win more games than they wanted to. – 3:26 PM Chris Sheridan @sheridanhoops
The Chet Holmgren news is horrible. But the calls to prohibit NBA players from playing in those types of games is misplaced. Basketball players play ball year round, sometimes on playgrounds, sometimes in arenas. Injuries happen. Let’s hope the kid makes a full recovery. – 3:15 PM Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Reaction to Holmgren injury shouldn’t be to end participation in these pro-ams. Guys play all summer. High intensity pickup games. Chet’s injury is unfortunate, but it could have happened anywhere. – 3:07 PM CBS NBA @CBSSportsNBA
Chet Holmgren is latest high pick sidelined with injury, but history shows he can still have All-Star future

According to everyone’s logic, Chet Holmgren would have avoided a Lisfranc injury if he only weighed more. Am I getting this right? #Thunder #OKC – 11:30 AM Mark Followill @MFollowill

It sounds like Nick Collison is going to be involved in Chet Holmgren’s recovery process, especially from a mental standpoint. Collison missed his entire first season with shoulder injuries. – 10:50 AM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk

Chet Holmgren was my #1 ranked prospect in the 2022 NBA Draft and still believe he was the right pick.
The talent and superstar upside is enormous with Chet.
Like Blake Griffin, Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, gotta believe Holmgren will miss his first season and come back a star. – 10:35 AM Ben Rohrbach @brohrbach

I know the Chet Holmgren injury has folks questioning the importance of Pro-Am events, and that’s valid, but I hope it doesn’t cause other pros to hesitate in the future. It’s so huge for kids without local NBA teams to see the stars in person. – 6:26 PM NBA on ESPN @ESPNNBA
