Remains out Monday Oladipo (knee) will not play Monday against the Raptors.

Impact Oladipo is dealing with chronic tendinosis in his left knee, and it sounds as though the Heat aren't sure when he'll be able to return to game action. For now, Oladipo's status will be handled on a game-to-game basis, but there's been no indication that he's overly close to playing.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM

Remains out Friday Oladipo (knee) won't take the floor again Friday against the Celtics.

Impact Oladipo was deemed questionable for the opener before ultimately being ruled out for the contest. With the Heat scheduled for back-to-back contests Friday and Saturday, the Heat have ruled the veteran out for the front end, and his status remains unclear for part two. Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson are the primary candidates to pick up additional minutes in his absence.

ASK IRA: Can Heat afford another waiting game with Victor Oladipo? Do the Miami Heat have to consider Victor Oladipo alternatives?

OCTOBER 19, 2022 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM

Ruled out Wednesday Oladipo (knee) will not play in Wednesday's season opener versus the Bulls, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Oladipo is being held out of Wednesday's game due to left knee tendinosis, which is a chronic issue. It is unclear how much time Oladipo will miss, but it is concerning, considering Oladipo has not played over 36 games in a season since the 2017-18 campaign. With Oladipo out and likely receiving significant load management, expect Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson to see extended playing time.

Deemed questionable for opener Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra confirmed that Oladipo will be listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls while the 30-year-old manages left knee tendinosis, Barr...

Impact On a positive note, Spoelstra noted that Oladipo's tendinosis is not in the knee he had surgically repaired in January 2019, a recovery that lasted just over a year. That being said, Oladipo's history could prompt the Heat to err on the side of caution with his usage to begin the season, though the team will likely wait and see how he's feeling during shootaround Wednesday before updating his status for the opener.

Misses practice Tuesday Oladipo sat out practice Tuesday due to left knee tendinitis, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Oladipo and the Heat are scheduled to open the regular season Wednesday against the Bulls, so this issue popping up so close to the season isn't a great sign. Oladipo should play a key bench role when healthy, but it will be worth monitoring his status on injury reports leading up to the opener.

Miami Heat Still Being Patient With Victor Oladipo Oladipo made his first preseason appearance in Monday’s victory against the Houston Rockets

OCTOBER 11, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Starting Monday Oladipo will start for Miami during Monday's preseason contest against the Rockets.

Impact The veteran guard will make his preseason debut for Miami on Monday after sitting out the previous contests for rest purposes. Oladipo averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds across 21.6 minutes per game during eight regular-season appearances with the Heat last season.

Expected to debut Monday Oladipo is expected to play in Monday's preseason game against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Oladipo has been sidelined for every preseason game thus far for rest purposes, but it appears he'll finally see some action Monday against Houston. If Oladipo can remain healthy in 2022-23, he could play an important role in Miami's rotation after agreeing to a one-year deal with the team during the offseason. In eight appearances last season, Oladipo averaged 12.4 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 21.6 minutes per contest.
