More on this storyline

Anthony Chiang: As part of story on @SFSkyforce website, Victor Oladipo said: “It feels good to be able to play the game I love. You go through stuff in life, and you have to battle. I’ve gone through this twice, so I know how to prep mentally.” -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / February 16, 2022 Victor Oladipo, working his way back from a major offseason knee surgery, moved around very well on the Heat’s practice court following Tuesday’s session, lofting jumpers in a vigorous workout, running without any visible limp and working with Heat assistant coaches. His jump shot was generally on target and he was the last player to leave the court. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he returns at some point in February, which was the original expectation of the Heat. -via Miami Herald / January 26, 2022 Ira Winderman: Heat injury report for Thursday vs. Pistons is out, with the following all listed as out: Jimmy Butler (tailbone) Bam Adebayo (thumb) Markieff Morris (neck) Victor Oladipo (knee) Caleb Martin (protocols) P.J. Tucker (leg) No other players currently on injury report. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / December 22, 2021
