Many people just wanted to share their joy and welcome Holmgren back.
He is returning to an OKC team that is the best in the West with a 40-9 record.
As great as they are, they could be even more productive with Holmgren.
He was averaging 16.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game before he was hurt in November.
Welcome back, Chet ✨️

“Huge boost of OKC!” one fan said, and it’s hard to argue with that.
The rest of the league is surely frightened by the concept of one of the NBA’s best teams reaching another level for the second half of the season.
Huge boost for OKC! 🔥

Finally!
I wanna see OKC play fully healthy.
They’ve been fun to watch and grow
