INDIANAPOLIS – Chet Holmgren sat on the bench with a little more than seven minutes remaining in a tight game, checking on the state of his left ankle. He had endured a rough stretch minutes earlier. At the end of one possession, Jalen Williams landed on it, and Holmgren hobbled up the court. Then Aaron Nesmith leveled Holmgren with a shot to the right shin that sent him to the floor.
