Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine started Monday's 111-110 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder after missing five games with a knee injury.
On top of LaVine's addition to the lineup, the Bulls also got back Javonte Green, who'd missed 12 straight games with an adductor injury. LaVine finished the contest with 23 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists.
The Bulls improved to 29-17 on the season and are now tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the second seed in the East.
Chicago went 1-4 in LaVine's absence.
