Oladipo also suffered a severe injury during the 2018-19 season with the Pacers when he ruptured his quad tendon in his right knee. 

He would miss over 365 days before retiring to game-action. 

According to Ethan Hawk of 5 Reasons Sports, head coach Erik Spoelstra did not yet give a timeline for when Oladipo will return (see Tweet below). 

Erik Spoelstra says he doesn't have a timeline on Victor Oladipo, "He has had a tremendous off-season...There's sunshine ahead."
