Bouncing back from a tough individual performance and team result against an even more intimidating foe proved necessary for Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City

The NBA schedule pits the Timberwolves and Thunder against each other three times in four games. For Oklahoma City 7-1 forward and Minneapolis’ own Chet Holmgren, it’s a fleeting opportunity to go home again.

With the Thunder playing a back-to-back set this weekend, Holmgren will get the day off Saturday and should return for Sunday's contest against Milwaukee. Isaiah Hartenstein will likely reenter the Thunder's starting lineup due to Holmgren's absence.
