Warriors star Curry won’t play first round of NBA playoffs, says Kerr

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein suffered a small, non-displaced fracture in his left hand. Hartenstein will be re-evaluated in five to six weeks.

Hartenstein, who shoots with his left hand, was signed in free agency by the Thunder. Oklahoma City gave the 7-foot center a three-year, $87 million contract to give them some additional frontcourt depth. It was unclear if Hartenstein was going to start or come off the bench, but he was slated to play a big role for the Thunder.

Oklahoma City is also dealing with an injury for Jaylin Williams. Last season’s primary backup center has been out for the entire preseason with a hamstring injury. His status for the start of the regular season is still unknown.
