Oladipo was held out of practice Tuesday because of left knee tendonosis and may need to miss Wednesday’s season opener against the Chicago Bulls at FTX Arena because of the issue.
According to Baptist Health, tendonosis “is a chronic condition characterized by the degeneration of collagen in the tendons. Tendinosis symptoms might feel like pain or stiffness when you try to move or touch the affected area.”

Hopefully doesn’t turn into one of those things where he ends up missing an unexpectedly large amount of games, then opts for surgery missing the rest of the season.
Just want a healthy Dipo season
Please
Probably for the best. He looked like trash in the pre-season. Take the time you need to be 100%, Vic
He’s opting into that option year huh
Kid: I want Victor Oladipo!
Mom: We got Oladipo at home!
*throws Pokeball*
“Nnamdi, Nnamdi”
Is that the other knee?
Not good but makes sense because he was slow in preseason NEXT MAN UP
Aw shit, here we go again
Starting to look more like Strus or Gabe will be our best 6th man this year.
Damn, it’s over. I’ve been watching him since he came to the league, he rarely uses his right leg to jump/run/first step.
Explains a lot, especially from what a few of us saw
Hopefully, this week of practice helped mitigate that with our bench rotations
Man… Dude can not catch a break. 😞
damn that sucks
damn, tyler may have to go back to being 6th man out of necessity
I think we all felt like something was up. He looked bad in pre-season. I went to the last game vs NO and he couldn’t get past anyone. The only reason he had a few assists was bc he had no option but to pass out to Strus who hit some ridiculously deep and contested 3’s.
This feels bad, but I don’t have a ton of hope for Dipo returning to his former self.
DAMN IT 😩
On a positive note we have Gabe, Strus, and Duncan and this will give them more opportunities to shine. It’s a shame he can’t stay healthy though
I’m happy we didn’t re-sign Dipo for too much…but do teams not do some kind of thorough physical on players before signing them to new deals? Even if they’ve been with an organization currently or previously?
We are likely not see full strength Vic until the all star break. I Don’t expect to see him play at all for the first month of the season. Chronic tendinosis is a lingering injury that will keep him from being explosive until it heals in three months
Damn, Miami teams just can’t seem to catch break with these early in season injuries. Hopefully we will be healthy come playoff time.
Oladipo is done. Tendonosis is the stage of degenerative injury in those tendon. Would trade for Westbrook if we can get a 1st round pick while shipping out the bad contracts of Robinson and Lowry. Having oladipo, Robinson and Lowry in the cap next season would be a waste of the cap going up. Without oladipo scoring punch off the bench we phucked
Cmon man
I am hoping this is not as serious as it sounds
Is this the same knee issue that plagued wade towards the end of his career?
🙁
I am very depressed about this news. Sad for Victor as well
