Chet Holmgren is set to return to the Oklahoma City Thunder lineup Friday night for the first time since suffering a hip fracture in November, according to an ESPN report.

Oklahoma City Thunder starting forward Chet Holmgren is slated to make his return from a pelvic injury that forced him to miss 39 consecutive games this season. After an impressive start to the 2024-25 campaign for the Thunder, Holmgren suffered a fractured pelvic in November but is scheduled to return this week.

"Thunder star Chet Holmgren is off the team's injury report, clearing the way for him to return to action Friday against the Toronto Raptors in OKC. At 40-9, Thunder's remainder of regular season will feature reintegrating Holmgren into the young, rising title contender," Charania posted.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The New Orleans Pelicans traded center Daniel Theis and a 2031 second-round draft pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday for cash. The 6-foot-8 Theis has appeared in 38 games with nine starts for New Orleans this season, averaging 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.3 minutes per game.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have entered their names in the trade mix as we approach the highly anticipated NBA trade deadline on Thursday. The Thunder have added to their frontcourt depth, adding New Orleans Pelicans big man Daniel Theis. ESPN's Shams Charania shared via X.

Last trade deadline, the Thunder helped the Mavericks acquire center Daniel Gafford from the Wizards. It was well worth it on OKC's end.

Luka Doncic was nearly asleep last Saturday night in Dallas when his phone buzzed. Only then did he learn that the Mavericks had just stunned the sports world by trading him to the Los Angeles Lakers.
