Chet Holmgren scored just 4 points as his team got eliminated from the postseason on Saturday night.

What happened?

The Oklahoma City Thunder needed a strong performance from Chet Holmgren, but he failed to deliver, playing hot potato with the basketball and chucking the responsibility to his teammates.

He didn't take a single shot in the second half, a surprising move given the team's need for a second option alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Why it matters for Chet Holmgren

Chet Holmgren has been compared to Victor Wembanyama since his teenage years, and this series was seen as an opportunity for him to prove himself as a top player.

But with Wembanyama's team, the San Antonio Spurs, moving forward in the playoffs, Chet Holmgren will be left to ponder what could have been.

The Thunder's elimination means Chet Holmgren won't have a chance to face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals.

What comes next?

Chet Holmgren's performance will be scrutinized in the offseason, and he'll need to work on his game to regain his confidence and prove himself as a key player for the Thunder.

And with the Spurs potentially making a historic run, Chet Holmgren will be watching from the sidelines, wondering what could have been if he had stepped up his game.

The 7-feet-tall blue-chip prospect has had a chip on his shoulder since being drafted as the No. 2 pick out of Gonzaga, and this loss won't help him shake off the feeling that he's not living up to his potential.

But Chet Holmgren has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, and he'll need to draw on that experience to bounce back from this disappointing performance.

So the question on everyone's mind is: can Chet Holmgren regain his form and lead the Thunder to victory next season?

Chet Holmgren's rookie season was marked by injury, but he had a strong comeback in his second year, helping the Thunder win their first-ever NBA championship.

However, this season's performance raises questions about his ability to perform under pressure.

The Western Conference finals were supposed to be Chet Holmgren's chance to shine, but instead, he faded into the background, allowing Victor Wembanyama to take the spotlight.

As the Thunder looks to rebuild and come back stronger next season, Chet Holmgren will be a key player to watch, and his performance will be crucial to the team's success.
