Holmgren suffered the devastating injury while participating in The CrawsOver pro-am event in Seattle this past weekend, which was headlined by various NBA stars including Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. Ironically, Holmgren injured himself while trying to guard LeBron down the court. You can see how he injured himself below:

Here's the play where Chet Holmgren got hurt tonight. He was guarding @KingJames one-on-one. It's hard to tell how he got hurt. He might have just stepped weirdly. @ChetHolmgren @thecrawsover #thunder pic.twitter.com/AzUBYUgnyV

The tall skinny big man played only one season at Gonzaga, finishing with averages of 14.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks per game.

In his debut summer league game, Holmgren looked fantastic as he scored 13 points in the first quarter. He finished with 23 points, going 4-of-6 from three-point range and a perfect 5-of-5 from the free throw line.

Hopefully he can bounce back, sometimes these things can stay with you for your whole career.
