Holmgren's Playoff Test
Description
The Oklahoma City Thunder’s playoff run hit a wall against the Spurs, compounded by injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell. Chet Holmgren, a dominant All-NBA force all season, struggled mightily in the Western Conference Finals — sparking trade rumors. But the Thunder front office is standing firm, committed to Holmgren’s long-term future. Analysts say trading him now would be a mistake, and GMs aren’t listening. This setback could fuel Holmgren’s growth, making him even more dangerous — especially facing Wembanyama. The Thunder are also rumored to be in play for Trey Murphy III, and despite the playoff exit, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes Holmgren will come back stronger next season.
