The Oklahoma City Thunder will be without Jaylin Williams, Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Hartenstein against the Denver Nuggets, suffering a blow to their front court for their season opener.
The Oklahoma City Thunder recieved a blow to their front court on the inital injury report ahead of their season opener against the Denver Nuggets which tips off on Thursday, Oct. 24 at 9 PM CT in Ball Arena. This will be a nationally televised game on TNT.
During the preseason, Isaiah Hartenstein suffered a blow that will sideline him 5-to-6 weeks with a hand injury and Jalen Williams twisted his ankle in the preseason finale that left him as day-to-day. All this on the heels of selecting Nikola Topic with the No. 12 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, who is out for the year with an ACL injury.
This is a huge blow to the Thunder's front court which now sits at just Chet Holmgren, leaving Mark Daigneault to patch work small ball lineups that we assume will include Ousmane Dieng and Dillon Jones to make it through at least the season opener against the Denver Nuggets.
