OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> center Isaiah Hartenstein<\/a> will miss time after straining his left calf for the second time this season.<\/p>\n

Hartenstein was ruled out of Monday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> after exiting Sunday’s win over the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> late in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The Thunder did not announce a timetable for Hartenstein’s recovery. He missed six games after originally straining the soleus, a muscle in the lower calf, on Nov. 26, returning 17 days later.<\/p>\n

Hartenstein has averaged 11.2 points and a team-high 10.4 rebounds for the defending champion Thunder, who have a league-best 27-5 record.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City’s frontcourt depth has also been depleted by the absence of backup center Jaylin Williams<\/a>, who was ruled out of a seventh consecutive game Monday with right heel bursitis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tim MacMahonDec 29, 2025, 03:09 PM ET CloseJoined ESPNDallas.com in September 2009Covers the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas MavericksAppears…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376576,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-376575","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-nba","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
