Goal for Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo Is No More Setbacks

Oladipo has second straight encouraging game in loss against San Antonio Spurs

The most common word associated with Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo is "progress." 

The Heat just want to see him continue to move forward. If Saturday any indication, Oladipo is ready to take the next step. 

He had 11 points on 4 of 7 shooting in the Heat's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. More importantly, Oladipo handled the 23 minutes with ease. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra say that is the target amount for playing time until Oladipo is fully back. 

"The most important thing is just getting his minutes, getting his work and not having any kind of setback," Spoelstra said. "Everything is encouraging right now, so far. He felt great (Saturday). I think him being able to bounce back and have an active game is good. We'll just continue to build on this. We'll just try to keep the minutes roughly where they are now. We'll see where it goes."
