Based on Oladipo's photos and caption, it's possible that he is signaling he is ready to return to action.

At his peak, the former Indiana Hoosiers star was among the best shooting guards in the league.

During the 2018 season, Oladipo averaged 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.4 steals per contest while shooting 47.7% from the field and 37.1% from the three-point range in 75 games for the Indiana Pacers.

Oladipo was the second pick in the 2013 NBA Draft and has played ten seasons for the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder, Indiana Pacers and Houston Rockets.
