- Isaiah Hartenstein injury update: Thunder center out vs. Hawks with right calf strain
Isaiah Hartenstein will not play in the OKC Thunder's home game against the Atlanta Hawks at 7 p.m. Monday due to a right soleus (calf) strain.
This is the same injury that caused the 27-year-old center to miss six straight games from Nov. 28-Dec. 10. Hartenstein appeared to have aggravated it at the end of the third quarter against Philadelphia on Sunday, causing him to exit the game and not return.

Hartenstein has been a full-time starter for OKC (27-5). He's averaging 11.2 points, 10.4 rebounds and three assists this season on 64.4% shooting from the field.
A timetable has not yet been announced for Hartenstein. If he misses an extended period of time again, the expectation is that Cason Wallace will get the starting nod and Chet Holmgren will move over to center.
