Atlanta Hawks announcer Bob Rathbun is back in the broadcast booth after a scary medical emergency happened on camera earlier this month.

Rathbun, 68, shared the good news of his return Monday morning via Twitter. Rathbun told his supporters he would return to work on Monday evening, adding it was “great to be back” on the show with his Bally Sports colleagues.

Rathbun and co-host Dominique Wilkins were previewing the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Atlanta Hawks when Rathbun began having an emergency on Dec. 5 at State Farm Arena.
