Chet Holmgren is feeling “great” after his long-awaited return from injury.

The second-year Thunder forward made his return to the floor Monday after an 11-month hiatus due to a Lisfranc injury on his right foot and reminded the world just how special he could be, posting 15 points, nine rebounds, and four emphatic rejections against the Jazz in NBA Summer League action.

After the game, the 21-year-old spoke about his recovery from an injury that forced him to sit out his entire rookie year.

“The foot feels great,” Holmgren said. “It’s like the injury never happened, other than everything I had to go through obviously. But at this point, if you erased my memory, I wouldn’t know that anything had happened to my foot other than the scars from surgery… not being able to play a game for a year, it’s really, really hard to test and see where you are.”

The 2022 second overall pick passed the test Monday night on the court with flying colors.

“The last thing I wanted to do was come out here and be timid, so I wanted to come out of the gates and be aggressive and look to impact the game,” the rookie said. “Obviously with that, you can make mistakes or miss shots, and that’s part of the game.”

The Gonzaga standout started out slow with a scoreless first quarter, but soon got going with some highlight blocks, impressive foot work, rim finishes and a 40-foot touch pass to forward Jaylin Williams for a layup.

“That’s just new-school basketball,” Holmgren said on the pass. “I look forward to making it happen more.”

With the Thunder having a bevy of young talent, headlined by All-NBA guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the addition of Holmgren adds another special young player to a team that may be a sleeper playoff contender this upcoming season.
