Optimism about return timetable Oladipo is set to undergo season-ending left knee surgery this week, but there's optimism he'll be able to resume basketball activities in six months and return to action during th...

Impact This will be the third major lower-body surgery for Oladipo over the past four years, so Miami is expected to proceed with immense caution, though the initial sentiments appear to be encouraging. Even if the Indiana product is able to play in a contest before 2024, he would presumably be kept on a strict minutes restriction and monitored closely every game, likely making him a non-factor during fantasy drafts next season.

Flirts with double-double in win Oladipo accumulated 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 victory over the Magic.

Impact Oladipo was highly productive in the regular season finale, falling just two assists short of a double-double. Although it has been a disappointing season for the veteran, the fact he has been relatively healthy should be viewed as a huge positive. Should the Heat progress to the playoffs, Oladipo could find himself inserted into the rotation at times, depending on the specific situation. Looking ahead to next season, it's hard to see him being anything more than a role player, much like he was this season.

Heat's Oladipo not quite feeling the burn about being thrown into the fire Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo remains at the NBA injury-report mercy of others when it comes to playing time.

Spot start yields nothing Oladipo produced seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 106-92 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Oladipo moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, replacing Jimmy Butler who was ruled out due to neck soreness. Despite the promotion, Oladipo remained a non-factor, much like he has for the past few weeks. Prior to Tuesday, he had not even been in the rotation, meaning there is no need for anyone to go adding him based on his uptick in playing time.

Fails to make offensive impact Oladipo closed Saturday's 113-99 loss to Chicago with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 16 minutes.

Impact Oladipo was completely out of the rotation during Wednesday's loss to Memphis and saw a season-low 16 minutes Saturday with Kyle Lowry (rest) sidelined. Barring numerous injuries, Oladipo's chances of cracking relevancy during the fantasy playoffs are extremely low.
