In a few days, it will be eight weeks since Chet Holmgren fractured his pelvis at the start of the season against the Warriors. And if this is noteworthy, it is because his absence was estimated at between eight and ten weeks. So now is the time to take stock.
Without being able to give a return date, Mark Daigneault recently indicated that the interior was on schedule.
“I'm not going to give the details of what he does, but we don't go from crutches to the field. There is progression and he is where he should be at this moment”, specifies the Oklahoma City coach. “There, it’s more a question of patience than anything else, because he’s not yet working physically. He has to hang on. He wants to play and train, but he has to heal too. »
If Mark Daigneault talks about crutches, it's because it was the essential accessory that accompanied Chet Holmgren for several weeks. Against Wolves on New Year's Eve, he didn't have any.
“It’s encouraging, exciting,” confirms Shai Gilgeous-Alexander regarding this good news. “He came into the locker room to tell us he could do the shootaround with us. I can't imagine the state in which he is facing this return. You can see the smile on his face. With him, we will be a better team. »
