What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Brian Geltzeiler @BGeltzNBAAs 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 @sheridanhoopsThe 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 @SIChrisMannixReaction 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 @CBSSportsNBAChet Holmgren is latest high pick sidelined with injury, but history shows he can still have All-Star future

Alex Raskin @RaskinDailyMailAccording 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

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_StilesSam Presti on Chet Holmgren “he wants to be really good, he cares a lot. The thing I’m really impressed with is that he isn’t an outside in guy, genuinely he loves basketball, he loves the team, he is highly intelligent…he is mature…he has never experienced an injury.” – 11:01 AM
Joe Mussatto @joe_mussattoIt 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

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbarSam Presti says that if you asked him before the lottery that he might get the #1 pick or the #8 pick or he could have Chet Holmgren, he wouldn’t have let you finish the sentence. He’d take Chet. And he still would. – 10:40 AM
Trae Young @TheTraeYoungDamn Chet😟😔
Get right killa ! @Chet Holmgren – 10:39 AM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbarSam Presti on Chet Holmgren: “His spirits are high and he’s ready to roll on the rehab.” – 10:38 AM
Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbarChet 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 @brohrbachThunder GM Sam Presti says Chet Holmgren will require surgery and is expected to make a full recovery. – 10:34 AM

David MacKay @DavidMacKayNBAI 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

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBABeyond the injury itself, the crappy part of Chet Holmgren getting injured is that many are already screaming about “damn pro-am!”
Guys are playing somewhere all the time. This one just happened to be seen by a ton of people. Lots of guys get hurt in private runs. It happens. – 2:40 PM
