Victor Oladipo is participating in practice with the Heat, taking part in “vigorous” workouts, according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald.
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.
Oladipo, who was traded to the Heat at last season’s trade deadline, underwent quad surgery back in May. There were reports at the time that the Heat were optimistic about the shooting guard playing during the 2021-22 season.
Jackson suggests that Oladipo could return to the court at some point during February.
“He’s itching to get back,” teammate Bam Adebayo said (via Jackson). “He’s one of those guys that’s really determined. … We’re starting to hear his voice and he’s starting to get opportunities to run in transition. When he’s able to suit up, it’s going to be a big day for all of us.”
