Thu Feb 06 03:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Holmgren’s Dunk Signals Potential Return for Thunder
**OKLAHOMA CITY, OK -** Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren, sidelined since November with a hip fracture, showed significant progress in his recovery during Saturday’s shootaround. Videos circulating on social media captured Holmgren participating in full-court drills, including a highlight-reel dunk, alongside two-way players Adam Flagler and Alex Ducas.
Holmgren, the second-year center, has been gradually increasing his activity level following the injury, his second major setback in three years. While he’s already missed 35 games, his participation in Saturday’s drills, showcasing dribbling, defensive moves, and the impressive dunk, suggests a potential return is on the horizon.
Although a re-evaluation is scheduled around the All-Star break, this latest development offers encouraging news for the Thunder and their fans. The team had previously indicated a three-to-five-week re-evaluation period following an update two weeks ago. The dunk, in particular, marks a substantial step forward from previous, more limited shooting drills. The team remains optimistic about his progress.
