The Oklahoma City Thunder announced on Saturday that Isaiah Hartenstein has sustained a right soleus strain and will be re-evaluated in 10-to-14 days.
Hartenstein had played the entire 2025-26 regular season until Friday. He missed the Thunder's 123-119 win over the Phoenix Suns with ankle soreness.

Another bump on the road for the Thunder. They've juggled injuries all season. Hartenstein has played his best basketball. After a career season last year, he's one-upped himself. The 27-year-old has averaged 12.2 points on 67.1% shooting, 10.7 and 3.4 assists.
