Victor Oladipo is rumored to return to the Miami Heat.

The perseverance of Victor Oladipo may end up paying off. The former NBA All-Star is trying to return to competition, and the Miami Heat are closely monitoring his efforts to get back on the court.

According to a report on Wednesday by Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Miami is monitoring Oladipo's return process. Additionally, the franchise has granted the player permission to train at their facility, the Kaseya Center in Miami.

Oladipo seeks a new opportunity

Oladipo, drafted with the number 2 pick, is openly pursuing his return to the NBA after playing his last game in the league during the 2022-23 season. Earlier this week, he even made a public and emotional plea to NBA teams for a new opportunity.

The Heat know the guard well, as Oladipo played in Miami for three seasons, from 2021 to 2023, which has so far been his last stint in the NBA.

A career marked by injuries

Oladipo made his NBA debut in 2013 and became an All-Star twice, as well as being selected once to an All-NBA team and once to one of the league's best defensive teams.

Throughout his career, he has averaged 16.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. However, injuries have significantly limited his ability to contribute in recent years.

Notably, he suffered a quadriceps tear in 2019 and a patellar tendon rupture in 2023.

His last stint in the G League

At 34 years old, Oladipo managed to return to the court during the 2025-26 season to play with the Wisconsin Herd of the NBA G League.

Now, his possible return to the NBA may have a new opportunity in Miami. The Heat still have an open spot on their roster, although the perimeter could be quite congested next season following the recent addition of another prominent guard/forward who has also been an All-Star.

For the moment, Miami continues to closely monitor Oladipo's recovery and has allowed him to use their facilities to train while he pursues his return to the NBA.
