The Oklahoma City Thunder, currently holding a 42-9 record, have faced significant injury challenges throughout the season. Key players including Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein, and Luguentz Dort have missed considerable time. Recent matchups against the Memphis Grizzlies highlighted their struggles, as they were missing multiple players, including Dort and Holmgren, who was on a minute restriction after returning from a hip injury.

As the team prepares to face the New Orleans Pelicans, injury updates indicate a possible boost with Holmgren and Dort expected to return. The Thunder's injury report includes several players still sidelined, but optimism remains high as they look to solidify their playoff positioning before the All-Star Break.
