OKC Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein will not return to a home game against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday due to left hip soreness.
Kenrich Williams started the second half in place of Hartenstein, who wasn't seen on OKC's bench. The 26-year-old center recorded four points and five rebounds in 14 minutes during the first half.
Hip injuries have become a common occurrence for the Thunder, which is without Chet Holmgren (left hip injury management) and Jaylin Williams (left hip tightness) on Saturday. Jalen Williams also returned against Memphis on Thursday after missing seven games due to a right hip strain.
OKC (61-12) holds a 102-80 lead over Indiana (43-30) at the end of the third quarter.
