The No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft suffered the injury at a Jamal Crawsford Crawsover Pro-Am game in August that had to be stopped due to unsafe court conditions. Holmgren played on the same day where LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Dejounte Murray, Paolo Banchero, and Tari Eason played at the Crawsford League.

The Thunder said Holmgren remains on track to return next season. Recovery from a Lisfranc ligament tear typically takes from nine to 12 months. The former Gonzaga Bulldog averaged 12 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks per game during his three-game appearence at the Las Vegas Summer League.
