Did you hear that?
That sound you heard was the fans screaming and cheering for the return of Donatas Motiejunas. Saturday night with the Kings in town, at the around the five-minute mark in the first quarter, Motiejunas checked in for the first time in months.
The journey, the rehab, and the wait was finally over.
"It was a long eight months for me," Motiejunas told reporters after the game. "I didn't really have any practices or workouts 5-on-5 until today, it was shocking everything was so fast on the floor."
The return of Motiejunas was met with mixed results, which was to be excepted after such a long absence.
