Coach Daigneault has been vocal about the importance of maintaining momentum as the season winds down. Particularly emphasizing the development of key players like Chet Holmgren. Holmgren, who returned to the lineup after a foot injury, has been integrated into various roles to maximize his impact.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren had some fun with a viral photo of a man sitting on another man's shoulders. "Even I thought this was me," Holmgren joked in a post on X. The 22-year-old, who stands at 7'1" and weighs 208 pounds, is in the midst of his second season and third overall year with Oklahoma City.

Holmgren is a few years removed from his college days, as he was drafted with the No. 2 pick by OKC in 2022. He missed the entire 2023 season due to a right foot injury but came back strong the season after, finishing second in the Rookie of the Year race.
