QUOTABLE

Heat guard Victor Oladipo on practicing with the team for the first time: “It was good to kind of actually make it to practice and see how we run things here, get more comfortable with play, play calling, and just get more acclimated with my teammates. It’s been great, it was great, the first practice. Obviously, I haven’t had an opportunity. Kind of just to get that out of the way was just good for me, my comfortable level, as well.”
