Holmgren has expressed confidence and readiness for the playoffs, stating, 'I feel good. Everything I’m doing out there feels tight. I feel locked in. I feel confident and I feel aggressive.'

This postseason marks Holmgren's second appearance, following a strong performance in the 2023 playoffs where he averaged 15.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and a league-high 2.5 blocks per game.

As the playoffs approach, Holmgren and the Thunder are poised to showcase their capabilities and tackle the challenges ahead.

Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder is set to return to the NBA playoffs after a season marred by a hip injury, during which he played only 32 games.

The Thunder, entering the playoffs as the number one seed in the Western Conference, face skepticism regarding their postseason potential, with fans expecting significant success.

Concerns had emerged among fans about Holmgren's playoff contributions due to his injury, but he appears to be in excellent shape and has developed strong chemistry with teammate Isaiah Hartenstein.
