Impact Oladipo isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup with the Suns, so the former All-Star should be able to suit up for a second consecutive contest, though head coach Erik Spoelstra did say the 29-year-old would remain on a strict 15-to 20-minute restriction moving forward. However, things will get interesting this weekend with Miami facing the Cavaliers on Friday and Timberwolves on Saturday. It's possible the Heat will rest him for one of those games, but there'll be a more definitive update as the weekend draws closer.

Looks good in return Oladipo (knee) provided 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists and one rebound across 15 minutes during Monday's 123-106 victory over Houston.

Impact Oladipo was under a strict 15-minute limit during his first game action in nearly a year, but he looked solid and was efficient during his season debut. Head coach Erik Spoelstra's comments after the game didn't suggest that the 29-year-old would be in store for a major role increase, so despite his status as a two-time All-Star, Oladipo may not be looking at much more than 15-to-20 minutes off the bench in most games. Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro are all clearly higher priorities at guard or on the wing and are going to play 30-plus minutes when available, leaving Oladipo to vie with the likes of Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent and Max Strus for the leftover court time.

Making season debut Monday Oladipo (knee) will make his season debut Monday against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Oladipo hasn't seen any game action in nearly a year, but he'll make his debut for the Heat against his former team Monday. Coach Erik Spoelstra indicated that the 29-year-old will be on a strict 15-minute limit against Houston, but it seems likely that he'll be able to increase his workload across the final month of the season.

Heat preparing for Oladipo's long-awaited return to lineup

Victor Oladipo is questionable, and that's a breakthrough after three years of dealing with rehab and challenges

MARCH 6, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Officially questionable for Monday Oladipo (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Though head coach Erik Spoelstra acknowledged earlier in the weekend that Oladipo could be ready to make his season debut Monday as the Heat kick off a seven-game homestand, a final decision on the 29-year-old's status likely won't be made until he's re-evaluated by team trainers following morning shootaround. If available Monday, Oladipo would likely be held to a strict minutes limit, given that he hasn't played in 11 months after undergoing surgery to address the quadriceps tendon in his right knee. Oladipo's return to action in any capacity would at least provide the Heat with some extra depth in the backcourt, as point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) won't be available for the start of the homestand.

Monday debut not locked in Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Saturday that Oladipo (knee) is "close" to making his season debut, but the 29-year-old will still need to receive final clearance from the trai...

Impact Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Thursday that Oladipo was eyeing the start of the Heat's homestand for his 2021-22 debut, and while the matchup with the Rockets remains the two-time All-Star's target, his availability is not yet locked in. If Oladipo fares well during the Heat's morning shootaround Monday and gets the green light to play from the training staff, he'll likely be in store for a light role off the bench in what would mark his first game action in nearly 11 months. After coming over in a trade from Houston last March, Oladipo appeared in four games with the Heat before being shut down for the remainder of the season. He averaged 12.0 points, 3.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per game in those contests, but with the Heat having since added Kyle Lowry to the roster, Oladipo won't be guaranteed that level of playing time.
