Oladipo began last season on the Indiana Pacers, and had spent the three seasons prior also in Indianapolis.

The former Hoosiers product, has made two All-Star games, and in 2018 broke out for 23.1 points and 2.4 steals per game.

Unfortunately, he had a season-ending quadriceps tendon injury in 2019, and he has not been to an All-Star game since.

This past season he averaged 19.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game in 33 games for the Pacers, Rockets and Heat.

However, he had season ending surgery, after playing just four games for the Heat after the trade from Houston.

UPDATE: Victor Oladipo has decided to undergo season-ending surgery on his right quadriceps tendon. The surgery will take place tomorrow in New York. There is no timetable for his return at this time.

Over his career he has played for the Orlando Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder, Indiana Pacers, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat.

Charania notes that Oladipo will look to potentially sign a big deal next summer.

Oladipo will eye 2022 free agency to return to the market and sign a big contract once he's fully healthy. Miami will retain Oladipo's Bird Rights, allowing them to find the means to sign him again next offseason. https://t.co/IRPUndKXgj

Victor Oladipo back with Heat. Changes complexion of off-season. Not expected in action likely until mid season if then. But a needed dynamic weapon if healthy.
— Ira Winderman (@IraHeatBeat) August 4, 2021

Victor Oladipo’s contract is reportedly vet minimum.

That’s amazing for Miami. Won’t be ready til January. Get heathy. Play well. Earn a bigger contract 🔥
