Houston Rockets trade Victor Oladipo to Miami Heat, source says

The Houston Rockets are trading Victor Oladipo to the Miami Heat at the trade deadline, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday.

Oladipo, 28, is in the final season of a four-year, $85 million contract and can become a free agent this summer.

He suffered a ruptured quad injury in January 2019, but he has shown flashes of his old self in performances with Indiana and Houston this season. Oladipo has averaged 21.2 points in 20 games with the Rockets, although his efficiency has been suboptimal.

He arrived in Houston as part of a four-team trade that delivered All-NBA guard James Harden to the Brooklyn Nets.
