The OKC Thunder ventured north to Salt Lake City, Utah, this past week for some Summer League action. Chet Holmgren was all that OKC Thunder fans had on their mind going into these games.
Before Monday night against the Utah Jazz, it had been close to a full calendar year since Holmgren had taken the floor in an OKC Thunder uniform. Coming off a serious injury like a Lisfranc, fans had to temper their expectations, especially after the highlight film that Holmgren put together last year in SLC.
That 2022-2023 Summer League mixtape that Holmgren put on tape had many Thunder fans in a chokehold as they awaited the return of the number 2 overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft.
