Victor Oladipo is expected to make his season debut for the Heat against Houston on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets.
Oladipo has been rehabbing from quad tendon surgery and has only played four games with Miami since being acquired last March from the Rockets. He recently participated in three practices with the G League’s Sioux Falls Skyforce.
Oladipo, who will likely play backup at point guard behind Kyle Lowry, was signed to a one-year, veteran’s minimum deal last offseason and will re-enter the free agent market this summer.
Oladipo played 33 games last season with Indiana, Houston and Miami, averaging 19.8 points on 41% shooting. His last healthy season was the 2017/18 campaign, when he averaged a career-high 23.1 points and 2.4 steals in 75 games (34.0 MPG). He also shot 47.7% from the floor and 37.1% from deep that season.
I tried to tell you all multiple times. 3/7/22.
Trade Rumors could have broke the news. Smh.
Those posts only had scattered chicken bones.
A deep team just got deeper.Lets go Heat! Pat Riley might have stolen another 1.
Remember the heat around this guy 2 years ago? Now he is a backup. Crazy…
tearing up your leg twice does that to you… Amare Studemire’s career ended on the Heat’s bench.. but I think Oladipo has a ton left in the tank
Amare was amazing for the Heat, and arguably looked better than ever with the defense he played for them
Let’s gooo. All he has to do is defend somewhat close to how he did, be a playmaker, and occasionally knock down a catch and shoot jumpshot. If he does that, it’s a significant addition for the Heat
A lot of talent in Miami and only so many minutes to spread around.Riley always has a plan thou when it comes to the playoffs.Everyone is talking Phily,Milw& NJ.Miami will go into beast mode and the East better be ready Imo.There is nothing missing here and their well coached
Dipo! Finally..
Makes a deep team deeper
