Chet Holmgren's injury status vs. Raptors
Despite the fact that 2025-26 has been Thunder forward Chet Holmgren's first All-Star season, serious back injuries have cropped up from time to time throughout the year. Given Holmgren's questionable status for Tuesday's match, it is difficult to predict whether he will play or not.
As the Thunder continue on their regular season schedule without All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell and possibly Alex Caruso, who missed Sunday's game against the Cavs with a left ankle sprain. Caruso has been listed as doubtful, as has Holmgren.
Coming off his first All-Star selection, Holmgren has helped the Thunder pick up wins against the Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavs on Sunday. He has been the defending champions' defensive anchor, cleaning up the glass in the paint.
The Raptors upset the Thunder in their last meeting in January. Holmgren finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds in a game where Gilgeous-Alexander was available, as the Raptors defeated the defending champions in a 103–101 victory. The Thunder may have to avenge that loss without moving on.
When it comes to the question of whether Chet Holmgren is playing tonight against the Raptors, the answer is probably.
