Here’s the Oklahoman reporting on the Thunder:

Four Sundays after breaking his hand against the Clippers, Steven Adams returned to the Thunder lineup
In OKC’s win over the Raptors, Adams was relatively effective in his 16 minutes. Adams entered to a rousing ovation from the home crowd and immediately blocked a shot on his first possession.
For the game, Adams finished with six points, six rebounds and two blocks. He nailed a pair of floaters with that surgically repaired right hand – which was covered by a protective glove – including a smooth buzzer-beater to end the third quarter.
“He’s still getting his timing back,” teammate Anthony Morrow said. “But he did a great job defensively tonight.”
For the first time this season, though, Adams came off the bench. Enes Kanter started and played extremely well, compiling 21 points and 12 rebounds.
