This time, it's Aaron Wiggins who will make his return after a lengthy absence.
Wiggins was no longer listed on the Thunder injury report, signaling his return against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. He had missed the previous 10 games dealing with an adductor strain. He returns just in time, too, as Isaiah Hartenstein will be out for at least 10-14 days with a soleus strain.

Before OKC's 123-119 win over the Phoenix Suns on Friday, he conducted some pregame warmups. That was another sign that he was on the cusp of a return after he missed the last three weeks.
Ironically enough, Wiggins sustained the injury against the Trail Blazers on Nov. 5. That's been OKC's sole loss this season as it sits atop the NBA with a historic 19-1 record.
Before Wiggins was injured, he one-upped his career season from last year. He's averaged 14.8 points on 45.9% shooting, 3.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in nine games this season. He's shot 41.7% from 3 on 6.7 attempts.
After Kenrich Williams and Jalen Williams returned in OKC's last two games, Wiggins will get his chance to return. Juggling injuries all season, the Thunder have seen a recent recast of important players who've missed time.
