Isaiah Hartenstein Injury Update: January 16 vs. the Cavaliers

NBA DraftKings Fantasy Advice News

Hartenstein played 31 minutes on Tuesday, contributing nine points, 16 rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block. Unfortunately, he strained his calf at some point and is now out for at least one week.

It’s a big blow for a Thunder team that is already without Chet Holmgren. Now they have to face the twin towers of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen on Thursday without a big man.

There have been five games that the Thunder have been without both Holmgren and Hartenstein this season. They played small-ball with Jalen Williams playing center with some combination of Cason Wallace, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins flanking Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Lu Dort on the wings. Jaylin Williams did not play during that stretch, so he will likely see some playing time.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
