Miami Heat: Bam Adebayo Elated Over Victor Oladipo’s Imminent Return

Let’s not get too far ahead on things though. You have to actually see it happen first.

However, that seems closer to being a reality again than it has been over the last few months. Here are a few words from the reporting of Jackson.

"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. His jump shot was generally on target and he was the last player to leave the court. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he returns at some point in February, which was the original expectation of the Heat."

As mentioned and in addition to the reporting of Jackosn though, Oladipo’s teammate and fellow player of Nigerian heritage, Bam Adebayo, spoke towards the notion as well. Here are Bam’s words on the topic, per Brendan Tobin of Sports Talk 790 AM The Ticket.

This is great news. That’s especially considering the fact that you are getting news, indications, or hints of progress from multiple sources.

The reporting is the reporting, always a great source of intrigue, insight, and details, however, a player’s viewpoint has merit too. They are giving complete firsthand accounts.
