Won't play Wednesday
Hartenstein is out for Wednesday's game against Portland due to a left soleus strain.
Analysis
The big man's next chance to play is Friday against the Warriors. The Thunder are likely to shift Chet Holmgren over to the five for the bulk of the center minutes, which should open up more frontcourt playing time for Alex Caruso and Luguentz Dort.

Won't play Monday
Hartenstein won't play Monday against the Hawks due to a left soleus strain.
Analysis
Hartenstein left Sunday's game early and was unable to return, and the Thunder are expectedly going to sit the center Monday. For now, he can be considered questionable for Wednesday against the Trail Blazers while more clarity is gathered on the severity of this issue. The Thunder could utilize some smaller lineups Monday with Jaylin Williams (heel) still out.

Doesn't return Sunday
Hartenstein (ankle) exited Sunday's 129-104 win over the 76ers in the third quarter and did not return.
Analysis
Hartenstein appeared to turn his right ankle and limped to the locker room late in the third quarter. The big man finished with five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 20 minutes. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Monday's matchup against the Hawks.

Heads to locker room Sunday
Hartenstein left Sunday's game against the 76ers and went to the locker room due to an apparent right ankle injury, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Analysis
Hartenstein appeared to turn his right ankle before limping to the locker room late in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. If he is unable to return, Kenrich Williams could see extra minutes.

Nabs double-double in loss
Hartenstein recorded 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 117-102 loss to San Antonio.
Analysis
The double-double was his eighth of the season and first since Nov. 15, and Hartenstein has recorded either double-digit points or boards, but not both at the same time, in eight straight games since then while dealing with a calf issue. The 27-year-old center also played two straight games for the first time since late November, suggesting he might be close to getting back in form.
