Chet Holmgren Set to Return for Thunder After Three-Month Injury

The Oklahoma City Thunder will welcome back their star center as they maintain the NBA's best record at 40-9.

Chet Holmgren, sidelined since November 10 due to a pelvic fracture, has been cleared to play and is expected to return against the Toronto Raptors on Friday.
The Thunder have excelled without Holmgren, going 32-7 in his absence and holding a six-game lead atop the Western Conference standings.
Holmgren was averaging 16.4 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks in 10 games this season before his injury and is expected to bolster the Thunder's already dominant lineup.
This will mark the first time this season that Holmgren and fellow 7-footer Isaiah Hartenstein, who missed the season’s start, will be available to play together.
The Raptors, who recently acquired Brandon Ingram but remain short-handed due to injuries, face a tough challenge against the NBA's top team.
