After announcing his decision to sit out the resumed season in Orlando less than two weeks ago, Victor Oladipo is reportedly back on the bubble about playing in the bubble. In fact, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, there is now “growing belief” the two-time All-Star will be on hand for the Pacers when games start back up at the end of the month.
Interestingly enough, prior to when Oladipo abruptly pulled himself via the media before taking the time to inform his coach, the plan set up for determining his availability was, in effect, what just happened — ramping up activity at training camp and then evaluating how his repaired quad tendon’s responded, at least as was indicated by Nate McMillan.
