OKC's Chet Holmgren Suffers Pelvic Fracture Amidst Thunder's Challenges
OKC Thunder's Chet Holmgren suffered a right iliac wing fracture during a game against the Golden State Warriors. This type of fracture occurs in the upper part of the ilium bone in the pelvis and is often caused by high-energy impacts. Holmgren is expected to return this season, with a recovery protocol set for eight to ten weeks. Iliac wing fractures are rare in the NBA and typically do not require surgery, as they are managed conservatively with rest and limited weight-bearing activities.
