OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — Two-time All-Star guard Victor Oladipo, who has not played in the NBA since suffering a serious injury in 2023, has joined the Milwaukee Bucks' NBA G League affiliate.
The Wisconsin Herd announced Sunday that they have added 33-year-old Oladipo to their roster. The Herd acquired Oladipo from the Santa Cruz Warriors after he entered the NBA G League player pool.
Oladipo tore his left patellar tendon while playing for the Miami Heat in their 2023 first-round playoff series with the Bucks. Oladipo has not played in the NBA since, although he has appeared in some NBA preseason games this year while playing for the Guangzhou Long Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Oladipo made back-to-back All-Star Game appearances in 2018 and 2019 while playing for the Indiana Pacers. He averaged 16.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists in his NBA career, which included stints with the Orlando Magic (2013-16), Oklahoma City Thunder (2016-17), Pacers (2017-21), Houston Rockets (2021) and Heat (2021-23).
The Magic selected Oladipo out of Indiana with the second overall pick in the 2013 draft.
