Hakeem Olajuwon returns to Houston Rockets lineup

Jet, Dec 23, 1996

Houston Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon recently returned to the team's starting lineup after he missed one game due to another irregular heartbeat.

After missing the game against the Toronto Raptors the NBA's third leading scorer played 40 minutes against the Boston Celtics.

Olajuwon is now taking medication for his condition, atrial fibrillation, which occurred for the second time in less than two weeks (Jet, Dec. 16). Doctors say Olajuwon's condition is not career-or life-threatening.

In Houston's 94-89 win against Boston, Olajuwon scored 16 points, had seven rebounds and five blocked shots.
