Chet Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, is being reviewed further after potentially suffering ligament damage in his foot, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
The Thunder rookie underwent tests on his foot, and a timetable for further review of his foot is still being determined. However, per Charania, the initial exams showed it is possible he has torn ligaments in his foot.
It’s also unclear how this injury would affect Holmgren’s rookie season. NBA teams begin reporting to training camp next month. Based on Charania’s report, though, it sounds like Oklahoma City is worried about what this injury could mean for its top draft pick moving forward.
