The Oklahoma City Thunder are just a few weeks away from adding Isaiah Hartenstein back to the rotation after he suffered a hand injury against the Denver Nuggets in the preseason. No one is more excited for that than rising star Jalen Williams.
A 7-1 start is nothing to sneeze out as the Oklahoma City Thunder have overall been dominant to start the 2024-25 NBA campaign and now open up a six-game home stand that features their toughest competition to date in this span.
While this is just a re-evaluation date and not a guaranteed return, if Hartenstein can return in short order from that span, no one would benefit more than Oklahoma City's rising star Jalen Williams. Already through eight games it is clear through Mark Daigneault's rotation that the Thunder are once again handing the keys to Williams to run the non-Shai Gilgeous-Alexander minutes. While things can get messy and stagnate at times right now, Hartenstein's addition will not only clean things up, but elevant those minutes.
