After having a ruptured quad tendon in 2019, things went disastrous and uncertain on the part of Victor Oladipo. From the past three seasons until now, he only logged 56 games partly due to availability issues.
Though he is currently enduring some challenging times in his career wherein his All-star form suddenly faded out of the blue, Oladipo remains optimistic that one day he’ll get there again.
Having a one-on-one interview recently with the Ringer’s Wes Goldberg, the two-time All-star remains faithful to the thought that he is “still that guy.”
“I’m still that guy,” Oladipo told Wes Goldberg of The Ringer. “Now I just got to get my body back to feeling like it’s at an All-Star level, which takes time. I have no doubt in my mind that I can.”
Oladipo is starting all over again and trying to climb back up what he reached in his prime years representing the Indiana Pacers. Signing a minimum deal with the Miami Heat last offseason serves as a fresh start and a blessing in disguise, as it can be a stepping stone for his emergence. The franchise remains atop of the East standings, and his contribution will be highly appreciated come playoff time and reaching the ultimate goal of an NBA title.
After coming back from his long right quadriceps tendon surgery recovery, Oladipo returned to the active lineup this month and has an average of 5.5 points and 2.8 assists on four occasions.
