Oklahoma City Thunder starting forward Chet Holmgren is slated to make his return from a pelvic injury that forced him to miss 39 consecutive games this season. After an impressive start to the 2024-25 campaign for the Thunder, Holmgren suffered a fractured pelvic in November but is scheduled to return this week.

Considering all that, it shouldn't be a shocker to see the Thunder make minimal moves at the NBA trade deadline. Sam Presti made a handful of roster changes, but those were on the margins. OKC will ride out with the squad that's led it to its cushy first-place lead.

As the NBA trade deadline nears, the Oklahoma City Thunder should focus on touching up the corners — if that. No need to fundamentally change the painting. The Thunder have been the league's best team this season.
