Concern here in OKc: Chet Holmgren took a shot to the side while defending an Andrew Wiggins first quarter layup. Just needed help getting to the locker room. Wasn’t putting weight on right leg. Appeared to be grabbing hip/oblique area when he was on the ground. pic.x.com/ZGF3mCwqmG – 7:23 PM

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Chet Holmgren hit the court hard. He was down for a bit and held his hip.
Chet was helped to the locker room by JWill and Isaiah Hartenstein. – 7:22 PM

Chet Holmgren needs help off the court and into the locker room. Looks like he isn’t placing any weight on right foot/ankle. – 7:20 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Chet Holmgren had to be helped to the locker room, can not put any pressure on his leg whatsoever. – 7:20 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Andrew Wiggins went to the basket with force, scored through Chet Holmgren’s rim protection.
Holmgren is down and hurt. – 7:19 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Chet Holmgren is still on the ground in pain after challenging that Wiggins shot. Mark Daigneault calls a timeout immediately. Trainers still looking at him, just guessing but it looks like he is holding his hip. – 7:19 PM

Beautiful play by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander realizing the delay switch, attacking strong, forcing Sengun to stay in the paint and leave Chet Holmgren open for a corner triple. – 9:07 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Şengün back in with three fouls. Might as well. Holmgren nails a 3 over him. – 9:03 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Rockets try the no-center lineup. Eason, Thompson, Brooks in the frontcourt with Green and VanVleet. OKC basically going without a center, too, so the time is right until Holmgren gets back in. – 8:55 PM

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Really good start to this one, though I imagine coaches would like to see more stops. Holmgren has been a force on both ends. Rockets offensive execution so much better than to start the season. Get 16 of 22 points in the paint through 7 1/2 minutes. – 8:27 PM

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Chet Holmgren personal 7 point run.
Chet checks out with 9 points and 1 block in his first 7 minutes. – 8:26 PM

Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just threw a successful lob to Chet Holmgren.
IYKYK this merits its own tweet. – 8:24 PM

Rylan Stiles @Rylan_Stiles
Chet Holmgren was already an elite defender a year ago, but it feels like he has gotten so much better at flipping the hits and taking away two rim attempts in one possession. Shut down a slick pass by Sengun by contesting Jabari on the other block to get OKC a stop. – 8:17 PM
