Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 130-123 on Sunday, avenging their 116-101 loss from before the All-Star break. Before Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's birthday gift to coach Mark Daigneault, Holmgren joined ESPN's SportsCenter after Sunday's win and addressed Aaron Wiggins' impact.

The Thunder needed every bit of Holmgren's production. Entering the second half, OKC was down by 15 points, a rare occurrence of Mark Daigneault's team facing a double-digit deficit this year. Holmgren was a team-high +25 in the second half as OKC outscored Brooklyn 68-45 through the final 24 minutes to seal the deal.

Oklahoma City Thunder center/forward Chet Holmgren has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the host San Antonio Spurs due to a sprained left ankle. Holmgren scored seven points and played just 15 minutes in Oklahoma City's 135-119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday.

Following the Oklahoma City Thunder's 135-119 win over the Atlanta Hawks, all eyes are back on Chet Holmgren for the wrong reasons. Two minutes into the game, Holmgren sustained a left ankle sprain when he rolled it on Dyson Daniels's foot.

After totaling seven points, four rebounds and three assists in 15 first-half minutes, Chet Holmgren was ruled out for the remainder of the Thunder's 135-119 win over the Hawks on Friday night with a left ankle sprain.
