Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo could be cleared for full contact basketball in November, doctor says

After a second surgery in 28 months to repair his right quadriceps tendon, Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo could be cleared to return to full contact basketball as soon as November, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Glashow told ESPN.

Glashow performed the procedure on May 13, and expressed surprise that Oladipo had been even able to play NBA basketball with the previous state of his tendon. Glashow did not perform the January 2019 procedure on Oladipo.

"I repaired the quad tendon and did it a little differently than (he had) it done before," Glashow told ESPN.
