The OKC Thunder found a way to thrive via committee during the absence of Chet Holmgren, who returned in a win over Toronto on Friday. Here's how.

Holmgren, who’s been out since Nov. 10 after suffering a right iliac wing fracture in his pelvis, teased his return on social media. He sustained the hip injury after taking a hard fall on a block attempt in the first quarter of a 127-116 loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Introduced as the first starter, Chet Holmgren received a roaring ovation. The OKC crowd showed off their excitement and appreciation for the 22-year-old's return after a three-month absence that rivals an entire NBA offseason.
