He further revealed that Indiana decided to trade him following an unsuccessful knee surgery.Haslem and Miller. "They offered three years, $80 million. It's less than what I had but pretty much about the same.
Oladipo was assured that he was recovering properly from a severe knee injury that he suffered in the 2018-19 season. Oladipo suffered a ruptured quad tendon in his right knee, which ruled him out for the rest of the season. He underwent successful surgery five days later. Despite the injury, he was still selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star reserve.
However, due to his unawareness of the improper healing of his knee—knowledge that the Pacers possessed—they opted to trade him to the Houston Rockets.
