Christmas Day around the NBA is normally bereft of any Pacers news, let alone a game. But thanks to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Pacers fans were able to enjoy a little extra holiday cheer when he reported an update on Victor Oladipo’s hopeful return between the Celtics win over Toronto and the Sixers/Bucks game.

While this may not be great news considering the preseason hope was for Oladipo to return closer to early January than early February, the fact we’re a month away from an ‘hopeful’ return date, at least makes Vic’s return actually seem like a reality.
