Maybe the timing of Chet Holmgren’s return to the Oklahoma City Thunder lineup, on the morning of NBA trade deadline day, was coincidental. Maybe it wasn’t.

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.

Chet Holmgren is ready to return to the Oklahoma City lineup. Holmgren is not listed on Oklahoma City’s injury report for the team’s game Friday against Toronto, indicating that he has finally healed from a fractured hip that had sidelined him since November.
