In the 110-123 victory over the Houston Rockets, Holmgren became the first NBA rookie ever to record at least 100 three-pointers and 150 blocks in one season, with many more games to spare.

Against the Rockets, the young big man had himself a strong game, putting up 29 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, and 3 blocks on 11/16 field goal shooting (5/8 3PT shooting).

Although this is his sophomore year in the NBA, Holmgren had suffered a season-ending injury at the beginning of the 2022-23 season and could truly only make his debut this year after being selected in no. 2 in the 2022 NBA Draft.

This year, Holmgren is averaging 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists on 54% field goal shooting.
