Set to return Monday Oladipo (knee) is planning to make his season debut Monday against the Rockets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Oladipo appears ready to make his long-awaited return to the court. The guard has played in only 88 games over the last four NBA seasons, so it would surprising if Oladipo isn't eased back into the Heat rotation. Expect Duncan Robinson and Gabe Vincent to see fewer minutes once Oladipo returns.

Joins NBA team after G League stint Oladipo (knee) rejoined the Heat for its two-game road trip that began Wednesda in Milwaukee, but he'll remain out for Thursday's game in Brooklyn and is without a clear timeline t...
Impact Oladipo is back with the Heat after a recent stint in the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce, with whom he took part in three 5-on-5 practices. He's now made two trips to Sioux Falls in the past few weeks to increase his practice activity, a sign he's making progress in his lengthy recovery from the surgery he required last May to repair the quadriceps tendon in his right knee. Though the team hasn't publicly commented on a timeline for Oladipo's debut, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Feb. 25 that the 29-year-old is likely trending toward a return at some point during the second week of March. If all goes well for Oladipo in workouts over the next few days, his debut should come during the Heat's upcoming seven-game homestand that runs from Saturday through March 18.

In G League to practice, not play Coach Erik Spoelstra said Monday that Oladipo (knee) will take part in three practices with the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce this week, but he won't play in any of their games,...
Impact Oladipo is back with Sioux Falls for the second time in two weeks to get some additional practices in while the Heat play three games over the next four days. The Indiana product appears to be inching closer to his potential return, which Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN relayed could come as soon as the second week of March. However, he'll presumably have to get some game action in at the G League level before he's cleared to suit up for the Heat. Spoelstra added that Oladipo is expected to return to the NBA club following Wednesday's practice, but he isn't expected to be available for any games this week. Considering Oladipo has only played in 88 games over the last four NBA seasons, fantasy expectations should remain tempered.

Could return in early March Oladipo (knee) could make his season debut as early as the second week of March, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Oladipo traveled with the Heat ahead of Friday's game at New York and now has a timetable for his return to the court. He hasn't seen any game action since aggravating an injury in April of 2021, so he'll presumably see a minutes restriction once he's ultimately cleared to suit up. Oladipo should be able to participate in practice in the coming days and could be a contributor during the fantasy playoffs.

Traveling with Heat Oladipo (knee) will travel with the Heat for Friday's game at New York, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact While it remains unclear when Oladipo might make his debut for the Heat, this is a big step in the right direction -- especially with the context that he was able to practice with the team's G League affiliate earlier in the week. He'll likely need several practices -- and perhaps even some G League games -- to work his way up to full speed, but the hope is that the former All-Star can join the Heat's rotation at some point in the next month. Considering Oladipo has played in only 88 games over the last four NBA seasons, expectations should be tempered. With that said, he won't be asked to carry a major workload for a deep Miami roster, so anything the Heat get from him this season will be somewhat of a bonus.

Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra Gives The Latest on Victor Oladipo The Heat are still unsure when guard Victor Oladipo will return
FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Set to practice in G League Oladipo (knee) reported to the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Tuesday to begin participating in 5-on-5 practices, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Since the Heat aren't practicing Wednesday and won't hold any team workouts until after the All-Star break, Oladipo will temporarily head to the G League for what should mark the final stage of his prolonged recovery from his second surgery to address a ruptured quadriceps tendon in his right knee. Oladipo, who underwent the most recent procedure last May, will likely need several practices in both the G League and with the NBA team to fully ramp back up and get reconditioned. If he's able to avoid any setbacks while doing so, Oladipo could be ready to make his season debut shortly after the All-Star break. Now almost three years removed from his last All-Star Game appearance and having played just 52 regular-season games over the past three seasons, Oladipo shouldn't be viewed as a high-priority stash option in fantasy leagues. Once healthy, he'll likely have a limited role as the Heat's second or third guard off the bench behind starters Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson, and sixth man Tyler Herro (knee).
