The Thunder have plenty of options. None will equate to Hartenstein but enough to survive this upcoming stretch. OKC has flexed its rubber-band-esque ability to stretch and transform its identity. It will be asked to do so again.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein is out at least a week with a calf issue and will be re-evaluated after that.

The Cavs snapped Oklahoma City’s franchise-record 15-game win streak at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The Thunder will look to avenge that loss without Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren, who’s missed the past 29 games due to a pelvic fracture.
