Chet Holmgren made his long-awaited return to the basketball court on Monday, with the seven-footer showing off his range of skills for the Oklahoma City Thunder in their Salt Lake City Summer League opener.
The number-two overall pick in 2022 was robbed of his rookie year by a Lisfranc injury he suffered during a pro-am game in August 2022 but OKC fans were delighted to see him back on the floor in a 95-85 victory over the Utah Jazz at Delta Center.
Holmgren was rusty in the first quarter as he went scoreless and threw up a few ugly airballs, but he soon found his grove and ended the night with 15 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and two assists.
