Victor Oladipo To Make Season Debut On Monday

[RealGM Wiretap]

Victor Oladipo plans to make his season debut on Monday against the Houston Rockets.

Oladipo initially ruptured his quad tendon in January of 2019 and returned over a year later in January 2020. 

Oladipo was eventually traded by the Indiana Pacers to the Houston Rockets in January 2021 and then to the Miami Heat at the deadline. Oladipo underwent another surgery on his right quadriceps tendon last May.

I’m not surprised. I had Miami penciled in for the title this year.

Maybe, maybe not. If he could provide 18-20 mpg of solid play with the second unit, that would be a big plus. But two surgeries on this one very serious injury? I dunno. I’m not expecting much but I’ll be rooting for him to make this comeback.

isnt that the same injury that retired Barkley and Tony Parker? Oladipo's had it twice now on the same tendon? Yikes.
