Victor Oladipo, a two-time All-Star and former All-NBA selection, has appeared in just 27 total games for the Heat since being acquired from the Rockets ahead of the 2021 NBA trade deadline. He was a major contributor during Miami’s 2022 playoff run, but likely won’t return to that rotation next season, according to Bleacher Report‘s Jake Fischer.
Miami is set to extend Tyler Herro with a deal hovering around $25 million per year, Fischer reports. As a result, Oladipo will likely walk and is a candidate for the mid-level exception elsewhere. Fischer says the Wizards, Nuggets and Pistons could have interest in Oladipo.
The 30-year-old wing was the No. 2 pick in the 2013 NBA draft, selected by the Magic. He spent three years with the franchise before heading to the Thunder in a trade for Serge Ibaka. Just over a year later, he was traded to the Pacers and flourished back in Indiana, where he played his college ball.
