Victor Oladipo’s season is over after suffering a torn patellar tendon in the Heat’s 121-99 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Upon entering the league as the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2013, the Indiana University alum bounced around from the Orlando Magic to Oklahoma City Thunder to the Indiana Pacers, who landed him in exchange for Paul George in the summer of 2017.
Oladipo then became an All-Star for the first time, the 2017-18 Most Improved Player in the league, and memorably helped push LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers to a seven-game, first-round series. He made a second All-Star team the following season, but was replaced by then Brooklyn Net D’Angelo Russell after suffering a ruptured quad tendon in January 2019.
Victor Oladipo suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee during the Miami Heat’s 121-99 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs.In 2020-21, where he was moved from Indiana to the Houston Rockets as part of the James Harden-Nets deal, he was later acquired by the Heat at the trade deadline but tore his right quad tendon after four games on his new team, returning last March, shortly before the playoffs.
Oladipo also missed the first 24 games of this 2022-23 season with left knee tendinosis, the same one he injured on Saturday evening.He averaged 10.7 points, 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game during 42 regular season contests, of which he logged 26.3 minutes per outing, including two starts.
