Seismic return for Oklahoma City

Hartenstein was set to be re-evaluated at the end of November, so his availability Wednesday crushes his initial timeline after suffering a non-displaced fracture in his left hand. He steps into a critical role with Chet Holmgren (hip) slated to be sidelined beyond the next month, although Hartenstein's initial ramp-up over the next week could be gradual. He profiles as a huge boost to Oklahoma City's rebounding, as well as an asset in the pick-and-roll for all involved.

Out again Wednesday

Joe will miss his second game in a row after suffering his calf injury Sunday against Dallas. The Thunder could get Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) back Wednesday, making them less reliant on their small-ball lineups.

Upgraded to questionable

This is massive news for the Thunder, as Hartenstein was initially given a five-week timetable back on Oct. 17. With Chet Holmgren (hip) sidelined for multiple weeks, Hartenstein could step into a massive role right away for the Thunder, assuming his conditioning is up to par. Once Hartenstein does get the green light, the Thunder won't have to rely on their small-ball lineups as much.
