Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela made his return on Sunday in a 110-86 Game 4 loss to the Miami Heat.
Capela hyperextended his right knee in the play-in game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers and was subsequently ruled out for the first three games of the series against the Heat.
In 21 minutes of action Capela made a single basket and brought down seven rebounds.
The Hawks are down 3-1 in the best-of-seven series ahead Tuesday's Game 5 in Miami.
In Capela's absence, Atlanta has used sophomore center Onyeka Okongwu and power forward John Collins in the starting lineup.
The big man from Switzerland averaged 11.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 74 regular-season games this year.
