Holmgren was out for the team's latest contest against the San Antonio Spurs, though he's set to return on the second night of the back-to-back. The last time Holmgren and Hartenstein were both active, the Thunder staggered the two more. Daigneault opted to start Holmgren and bring Hartenstein off the bench.

Thunder center/forward Chet Holmgren has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the host Spurs due to a sprained left ankle.

Two minutes into the game, Holmgren sustained a left ankle sprain when he rolled it on Dyson Daniels's foot. The seven-footer had the transition advantage but only drew the shooting foul on the league leader in steals.
