Dwyane Wade and Victor Oladipo have had a relationship since Oladipo was still in high school. Serendipity brought the two together at a White House dinner in 2014, when Oladipo was a senior at DeMatha in Hyattsville, Maryland, and shared a table with the Miami Heat guard at a Father’s Day event.
While Wade was on the court for the Heat in a 111-99 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, Oladipo collapsed to the floor in Indiana with an injury which momentarily captured the attention of the NBA world. The non-contact injury to Oladipo’s right knee was the gruesome sort which required trainers to hide it from the public by placing towels over the Indiana Pacers guard’s knee.
