The OKC Thunder will be without Isaiah Hartenstein in Thursday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team announced. He will be re-evaluated in approximately one week.

In his first season with the Thunder, Hartenstein has averaged 11.9 points, 12 rebounds, and 4.2 assists across 29.7 minutes. Those are all career-best numbers for the former Knick.

Adding Isaiah Hartenstein was a stroke of genius from the Thunder front office. Granted, it was the most obvious move of the offseason, but NBA front offices don't always make the obvious moves, so a tip of the cap to OKC on that one. With Hartenstein in the lineup, this team is 23-2.
