He only played three quarters but as his first basketball steps in nearly a year Australian superstar Andrew Bogut's 2012 NBA debut was a good one.
Now with Golden State Warriors, Bogut missed all eight of his new club's pre-season games and was a surprise elevation to the starting line-up for the Warriors' season opener against Phoenix Suns in Arizona.
But he poured in his team's opening points and finished the night with eight and six rebounds in his first competitive hit-out since injuring his ankle in January.
Bogut played 18 minutes all up in the thrilling 87-85 win and said he felt "great".
"It's been a long time coming for me; it's been nine months since I've played basketball competitively. I felt great,
body felt great," he said.
"Early on in the game it was kind of tough. Once I pushed through that and got my second wind I felt great.
"Obviously they limited my minutes tonight so I wasn't too happy about it but as long as we get the win."
Warriors coach Mark Jackson said he wouldn't rush Bogut, his No.1 centre, back in to big minutes.
"It's going to take time, but he certainly gives us a presence on both sides of the ball and makes us that much better," Jackson said of Bogut.
"We'll wait until the real Andrew Bogut shows up, and we'll take this one for now."
