Holmgren was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, but he's considered a rookie because he missed all of last season due to a foot injury. He's averaging 16.7 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game this season.

OKC selected Wallace with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He's averaging 6.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game this season.

All-Star Weekend will be a busy one for OKC's players. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was recently named a starter for the Western Conference in the All-Star game on Feb. 18.
