For Thunder fans, it's a good sign that Holmgren is in good spirits.

He had come into the evening with averages of 18.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2.9 blocks per contest while shooting 51.9% from the field and 40.0% from the three-point range in nine games.

Via Chris Walder of Odds Shark: "You can never predict injuries, but the amount of All-Star talent that's falling off right now is crazy.

Here's hoping we don't add Chet Holmgren to that list, but the fact that he needed help exiting the court isn't a good sign, of course."
