Number 1 of the NBA, the Thunder has been playing for three months without its titular pivot, Chet Holmgren. Victim of a fracture of the basin, the young interior was doing his big comeback tonight against the Raptors, and everything went very well.
Holder, he compiles 4 points, 5 rebounds, 4 counters and 2 interceptions, and during his 22 minutes spent on the ground, the Thunder's differential is +22. “It marks his return to the game, but his return to his best level is not yet finished”,, nuance Mark Daigneault. “It takes time for a player who has been absent for so long, especially for an injury on the lower body, finds his physical condition, his endurance, his rhythm, all that. We will therefore continue to work with him probably on a weekly base. But it was an excellent start. »»
A real intimidator
Author of a big counter on an attempted Dunk by Scottie Barnes, Chet Holmgren has resumed his role as scarecrow, and ESPN reports that in front of him, the Raptors only scored in eight! This season, his direct opponents shoot at 38.6% in front of him, and no one is no longer dissuasive in the NBA. Not even Victor Wembanyama.

“I missed it so much and I gave myself to be able to come back to the field. I am therefore happy and enthusiastic ” he reacts. “But it will not be the” Chet Holmgren Show “. It's the Thunder. Whether I am injured or not, it will remain like that. I just try to help this team win, whatever the means. I do not want to be an attraction and that it deviates from our goal, which is to win matches. ”
