After Victor Oladipo put on a great performance against the San Antonio Spurs, fans want him off the Loong Lions and back in the NBA.<\/p>\n

As NBA teams get ready for the new season, a key part of their process involves playing in preseason games.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen many NBA teams face each other in their first slate of preseason games. But sometimes, the NBA allows teams to play against opponents from different parts of the world.<\/p>\n

Zion Williamson impressed in Australia<\/a> against an NBL team. And last night, the San Antonio Spurs faced the Loong Lions, a team from the Chinese Basketball League.<\/p>\n

For longtime NBA fans, there was a familiar face on the opposing side \u2013 Victor Oladipo<\/a>. The former All-Star is currently playing in China. But with his performance, he reminded fans why he belongs back in the NBA.<\/p>\n

Victor Oladipo put up strong numbers against the San Antonio Spurs<\/a>. He dropped 20 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals, and 1 block.<\/p>\n

NBA fans were thoroughly impressed with Oladipo\u2019s outing, as one fan wrote, \u201cI miss my demon. Glad to see him still hooping.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBA Central, one of the biggest NBA fan accounts, shared his stats and simply said, \u201cLeague Him!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another NBA fan marveled at Oladipo\u2019s athleticism, noting, \u201cIt\u2019s actually insane how he\u2019s still effective after all those knee injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

One fan posed the question on everyone\u2019s mind, asking, \u201cYou telling me he can\u2019t play for an NBA team?!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another fan urged the LA Lakers<\/a> to sign him, saying, \u201cRob Pelinka<\/a>, you have a golden ticket before you allow the Houston Rockets<\/a> to become the front-runners for a title. Go get that man!\u201d<\/p>\n

However, one fan reminded everyone why Oladipo isn\u2019t on an NBA roster, writing, \u201cUnfortunately, he couldn\u2019t stay on the floor and now has the reputation from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Victor Oladipo must prove his durability for any chance at a return<\/p>\n

What once seemed like a promising career ahead was derailed because of Victor Oladipo\u2019s injury issues.<\/p>\n

And no matter how hard he tried over the years, he hasn\u2019t been able to overcome these issues. And it ultimately led him to exit the NBA.<\/p>\n

However, if tonight is anything to go by, there is still a great player in Victor Oladipo. All he has to do now is show that he can stay healthy.<\/p>\n

If Oladipo can have a consistent run of form in the CBL, expect NBA teams to notice and reach out to land him.<\/p>\n

The Cavaliers were mentioned as a landing spot for Oladipo<\/a> some time ago. But there is no saying where or even if Oladipo will return to the NBA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Victor Oladipo put on a great performance against the San Antonio Spurs, fans want him off the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":326656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3797],"tags":[7,6,969,474,4075,4074,534,8942,574],"class_list":{"0":"post-326655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-antonio-spurs","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-nba","10":"tag-san-antonio","11":"tag-san-antonio-spurs","12":"tag-sanantonio","13":"tag-sanantoniospurs","14":"tag-spurs","15":"tag-victor-oladipo","16":"tag-western-conference"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115333119588488523","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
