Chet Holmgren underwent a successful procedure to address a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.

The procedure was performed by Dr. David Porter at Forté Sports Medicine and Orthopedics in Carmel, IN with Thunder medical personnel present. As previously announced, Holmgren will miss the 2022-23 season.

Holmgren was the second overall pick in the draft.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have applied for a Disabled Player Exception for rookie big man Chet Holmgren. If approved, the exception will be for $4,945,620 for Holmgren.

In order for the exception to be approved it will have to be determined that Holmgren is "more likely than not to miss the entire season" by an independent review board. The Thunder have already announced that Holmgren will miss the upcoming season due to Lisfranc fractured in his right foot.

Holmgren was injured while playing in the CrawsOver Pro-Am last weekend. While defending LeBron James, Holmgren stepped awkwardly and was seen limping off the court. A few days later, Oklahoma City confirmed the Lisfranc fracture.

If the Thunder are granted the Disabled Player Exception, they'll be able to use it to sign, trade for or claim off waivers one player. The player must be on an expiring contract, with no options, and his salary must fit within the DPE amount. The exception is worth one-half of the player's salary, up to a maximum of the equivalent of the Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception. The DPE is a signing exception, and not a roster exception. OKC will still need to maintain a maximum of 15 players on standard contracts.

Chet Holmgren will miss the entire 22-23 season with a Lisfranc injury in his right foot.

Holmgren suffered the injury during a Pro-Am game in Seattle this past weekend. 

The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Holmgren with the second overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft.

“Certainly, we are disappointed for Chet, especially given the excitement he had about getting on the floor with his teammates this season," said Sam Presti. "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.”

Chet Holmgren has been diagnosed with potential torn ligaments in his foot. Holmgren is believed to have suffered the injury at a Jamal Crawford CrawsOver Pro-Am game that had to be stopped due to unsafe court conditions.

The floor was reportedly too slippery and players could not keep their grip due to condensation on the hardwood floors.

Holmgren will undergo further evaluations to determine the extent of the injury and potential next steps.

The Oklahoma City Thunder selected Holmgren with the second overall pick in the 2022 draft out of Gonzaga.
