Holmgren’s Future in OKC Hangs in Balance | San Antonio Spurs News

Victor Wembanyama may be the silent force behind Chet Holmgren’s potential exit from Oklahoma City—Holmgren, a top defensive player last season, crumbled under Wembanyama’s pressure in the Western Conference Finals and struggled again in the NBA Finals.

With Holmgren locking up 25% of the Thunder’s cap for four years—and Shai and Jalen tying up another 80%—the team can’t afford to have one of its biggest names falter when it matters most. GM Sam Presti isn’t afraid to make moves, and if Holmgren can’t rise to the occasion against Wembanyama, a trade could be inevitable to fix both cap issues and playoff performance.
