Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren will miss the 2022-23 season because of a Lisfranc injury to his right foot, the team announced Thursday.

Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft, suffered the injury early in the CrawsOver Pro-Am event while defending LeBron James on a fast break.

Certainly, we are disappointed for Chet, especially given the excitement he had about getting on the floor with his teammates this season

Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement.

We know Chet has a long career ahead of him within our organization and the Oklahoma City community.

One of the things that most impressed us during the process of selecting Chet was his determination and focus.

We expect that same tenacity will carry him through this period of time as we work together and support him during his rehabilitation."
