First hiccup in Oklahoma City. While he had just participated in the Thunder's trip against the Nuggets (124-94), with 11 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 21 minutes, Isaiah Hartenstein join the infirmary!
His club has just announced that the 26-year-old pivot had suffered a “small fracture, without displacement” on the left hand. A problem which will keep him away from the field for at least five to six weeks. In the best case scenario, he will therefore make his debut with the Thunder at the end of November, and will therefore miss around fifteen matches…
It's not the end of the world for OKC, who has enough to wait until his return, but it's a first stone in the shoe, while the former Knicks pivot is the big recruit of the offseason from the club, recovered via a three-year, $87 million contract. And this even if Isaiah Hartenstein is not certain of always being the starter, his role alongside Chet Holmgren could evolve depending on the “matchups”.
Especially since the other concern is that Jaylin WilliamsOklahoma's main rotation under the rim last year, was unable to play all preseason because of a hamstring issue.
