Betting for the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award has been flipped on its head following Thursday’s news that Oklahoma City Thunder star Chet Holmgren is out for the season with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.
It’s devastating news for the 20-year-old, and also for his bettors. Holmgren had been among the top two favorites to win the award since being selected second overall in the July draft. His +380 odds at Tipico Sportsbook on Wednesday were second-shortest behind Orlando top pick Paolo Banchero’s +300.
