Chet Holmgren’s injury status against the Raptors

Despite the fact that 2025-26 Thunder football player Chet Holmgren’s first All-Star seasona nagging back injury flared up from time to time throughout the year. Given Holmgren’s questionable status for Tuesday’s match, it is difficult to judge whether he will play or not.

While the Thunder continue their regular season schedule without All-Stars Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams, Ajay Mitchell and possibly Alex Caruso, who was ruled out of Sunday’s matinee against the Cavs with a sprained left ankle. Caruso is listed as questionable as Holmgren.

Returning from his first All-Star selection, Holmgren helped the Thunder secure a pair of wins against the Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavs on Sunday. He was the defensive anchor for the defending champions, while 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 on hand as the Raptors outlasted the defending champions in a 103-101 victory. The Thunder may have to avenge that loss without a starting forward.

When it comes to whether Chet Holmgren plays tonight against the Raptors, the answer is maybe.
