In his first game since Nov. 10, Chet Holmgren added four points, five rebounds, four blocks, two steals (and a tech) in 22 minutes, contributing to a 121-109 Thunder win over the Raptors.

Instead of the flashy deal fans have fantasized about ala Cam Johnson, the Thunder will get their version of a mid-season acquisition with Chet Holmgren's return. Nearly three months after he suffered a hip fracture, the 22-year-old is set to return against the Toronto Raptors on Friday.

The Thunder more than survived without the 2022 second overall pick, going 32-7. With him, their defensive ceiling is the sky.
