NBA star Victor Oladipo is coming off a year where he did not play due to injury.

The former Indiana Hoosier was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies (via the Houston Rockets) and then waived, so he is currently a free agent who is available to sign with any team in the league.

Oladipo appears to be looking like he is getting healthy because he recently made a post to Instagram from a golf event for Jayson Tatum's foundation.

Oladipo captioned his post: "Everywhere I go ⛳️🏌🏿"

In addition to Miami, Oladipo has also spent time with the Indiana Pacers, Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic and Oklahoma City Thunder.

He will be a name to watch before training camps open up next month.

As for Tatum, the five-time NBA All-Star is coming off an excellent year.

Over the summer, he helped lead the Boston Celtics to their first NBA Championship since 2008 and was a member of Team USA (who won its fifth straight Gold medal).
