Victor Oladipo was injured last night in the Heat’s win over Milwaukee. Past examinations announce a tear in the patellar tendon of the left knee. Suffice to say that the road back to the field still looks long for Oladipo, who is definitely not spared bad luck.
“Patellar Tendon Tear”. Well, you don’t really need to draw a picture to explain to you that Victor Oladipo’s injury will be long. We immediately felt it when we saw the back of the Heat on the ground, so it’s not really surprising that the diagnosis of the MRI passed by the Floridian is so damning.
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo has suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in his left knee, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Just another injury the two-time All-Star will work to overcome. 🙏🏽

Released to a nice ovation, the double All-star once again begins a long convalescence. A scenario unfortunately well known to those who only compile 102 regular season games over the last four years. The back had made his return at the beginning of March with the Heat and has been doing quite a lot lately, but here he is already back in the infirmary…
At 30, will Toto once again succeed in coming back? Can we still hope to see again the one who was All-Star caliber 5 years ago or will the injuries rot until the end the career of the former Magic? According to information from Miami Herald, the Heat does not give any return schedule for the moment but we can expect several months of recovery for the player. Bad luck..
If this twist of fate is terrible for Toto, for Miami it’s yet another blow. Leading in their series against the Bucks, the Heat lose an important player in their rotation after losing Tyler Herro to a broken hand in Game 1. It’s all the more infuriating because Dipo had a very solid match in Game 3. Erik Spoelstra may still have to tinker to find solutions on the backcourt.
