Holmgren dumbfounded by Warriors’ basket on play that injured him originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
It was a frustrating night for Chet Holmgren in more ways than one.
The Thunder’s 7-foot-1 center suffered a right iliac wing fracture to his pelvis after colliding with Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins in the paint and falling to the floor under the basket on a field-goal attempt midway through the first quarter of Golden State’s 127-116 win over Oklahoma City on Sunday at Paycom Center.
Holmgren, who posted multiple updates on social media after the game from his hospital bed, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, where he shared his dumbfounded reaction to the play, where Wiggins somehow still made the basket despite the physical collision that resulted in Holmgren’s injury.
I can’t believe this mf still made the lay wtf I’m pissed

The Thunder announced after the game that Holmgren is expected to return this season and his return-to-play protocol will be provided in eight-to-ten weeks.
The injury is a devastating blow to a star player on one of the NBA’s best teams, but at least Holmgren can maintain his sense of humor.
