Miami Heat: Victor Oladipo Lurks In the Background Of All-Star Break

While Markieff Morris has been out since late November, after the Nikola Jokic dustup, the enigmatic Victor Oladipo hasn’t played since he went down last season.

Well, one of them looks to be nearing a return, certainly. Here is a thought on Oladipo from Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

"Would I be surprised to see him at practice when the Heat resume Thursday after the All-Star break? No. Nor would be shocked sometimes thereafter if he is upgraded on the injury report to something even as promising as questionable."

That’s not all though, as there is even more evidence that the once, potentially still, electric wingman is back on the horse and close to being on the court again. It comes from the Miami Heat’s G-League affiliate, the Sioux Falls Skyforce.

This is not a drill people! This is the real thing.

This is Victor Oladipo in a real basketball gym and wearing what appears to be real practice gear. It isn’t in Miami, per se, but being with the Skyforce to play basketball is about as close as you can get to being in the actual Heat practice facility without being there.
