Holmgren was out for the team's latest contest against the San Antonio Spurs, though he's set to return on the second night of the back-to-back. The last time Holmgren and Hartenstein were both active, the Thunder staggered the two more. Daigneault opted to start Holmgren and bring Hartenstein off the bench.

Oklahoma City Thunder center/forward Chet Holmgren has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the host San Antonio Spurs due to a sprained left ankle. Holmgren scored seven points and played just 15 minutes in Oklahoma City's 135-119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

Per the NBA's official injury report, Chet Holmgren — now dealing with a left ankle sprain — will miss the festivities at Frost Bank Center, marking his first scratch since returning from a pelvic fracture in his hip earlier this season.
