Victor Oladipo to make season debut against Bulls after yearlong absence

Share

Pacers guard Victor Oladipo announced via NBA insider Shams Charania that he intends to make his season NBA against the Bulls on Jan. 29 in Indiana.

Oladipo’s return comes after a yearlong absence following a torn quad tendon in his knee. In the interview, Oladipo admits that his return date may change, but says he’s looking forward to getting back on the court soon.

“It’s good to have something to look forward to, especially after 12 months of wondering, hoping,” Oladipo explains. “I’m way stronger than I was before, especially mentally.”

Prior to his injury and 12-month recovery, Oladipo racked up 345 career starts with an average of 17.5 points per game. Earlier this week, it was reported Oladipo was assigned to the G-League’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants for rehab.
