The time has come — this team is almost fully healthy. With Chet Holmgren back in the lineup and Alex Caruso off the injury report, all the pieces are coming together. Ajay Mitc

For the first time since preseason, the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled out their ideal starting lineup. Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein started together in their double-big lineup. It led to a blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

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.

After being sidelined for multiple months with a hip injury, Oklahoma City's Chet Holmgren says he has no restrictions just two games into his return.

Although he still hasn't been fully reintegrated into the OKC Thunder offense, Chet Holmgren's impact on winning has been tremendous since returning to the court.
