Thu Feb 820:18Victor Oladipo Waived By Memphis
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Grizzlies waived guard Victor Oladipo (knee) on Thursday. This move shouldn't have surprised anyone, especially since he remains without a return timetable after tearing his left patellar tendon in April 2023. Oladipo has had several potent seasons throughout his career and has been an All-Star twice. He's averaged 16.9 points in 504 regular season games. The 31-year-old is also capable of getting it done on the defensive end. That said, while Oladipo likely won't find work while sidelined by his most recent ailment, he shouldn't have trouble finding a new employer once healthy. However, his days as a routine fantasy producer are likely well behind him.

Thu Feb 120:40Victor Oladipo Moving On To Memphis
The Rockets traded guard Victor Oladipo (and three second-round picks) to Memphis on Thursday night. In exchange, Houston will receive center Steven Adams. The Rockets needed a veteran center to mentor Alperen Sengun, one of the league's top centers. But the Grizzlies needed to shave some cash off the books, so the move makes sense for both teams. Without question, Oladipo has been a top producer over the years on both ends of the floor and has two All-Star appearances to show for it. He's averaged 16.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.6 steals. Unfortunately, Oladipo can't stay healthy. He's currently sidelined by a knee injury sustained in the 2023 NBA playoffs and doesn't have a return date. But if the 31-year-old can get healthy and stay that way, he'll be a welcome addition to any fantasy roster.

Wed Oct 18 202309:03Rockets Looking To Move Victor Oladipo
Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (knee) likely won't remain with the team for long, with the club reportedly trying to move on from him following his arrival on Tuesday in a deal with the Thunder. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports has noted that Houston sees Oladipo as a trade piece and has an interest in Detroit's Alec Burks, Utah's Talen Horton-Tucker, and Portland's Malcolm Brogdon. Oladipo is on an expiring contract that is set to pay him $9.5 million in 2023-24. He's had three major surgeries in four years and is currently recovering from a left-knee procedure, which was done in April. The 31-year-old is expected to miss most of 2023-24.

Wed Sep 27 202319:46Victor Oladipo Won't Be Ready For Training Camp
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Victor Oladipo (knee) won't be ready for the beginning of training camp, according to team president Sam Presti. Oladipo has struggled to stay healthy since suffering a ruptured quad tendon in 2019. He suffered another knee injury during the postseason with the Miami Heat last season. It's worth noting that the Thunder are loaded with young talent that needs playing time. Honestly, it's hard to imagine Oladipo carving out a legitimate role for himself even when healthy. He probably won't have much fantasy value to begin the season.

Sat Jul 1 202309:57Victor Oladipo Traded To OKC
Victor Oladipo is once again an Oklahoma City Thunder man after the Miami Heat traded him on Friday for two future second-round picks. The 31-year-old also spent the 2016-17 campaign with the Thunder. Injuries soon derailed Oladipo's career after that season, and he's seen very little action in recent years. The former All-Star suited up in 42 games for Miami last term, averaging 10.7 points with 3.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He missed the end of the campaign with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee. It's currently unclear when he will be healthy enough to play again. Meanwhile, Miami created a $9.45 million trade exception with the deal.

Tue Jun 27 202318:50Victor Oladipo Exercises His Option For Next Season
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo exercised his option worth $9.4 million for the 2023-24 season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Unfortunately, the 31-year-old still experienced health issues last season, but he did play his highest amount of games since the 2017-18 season. He appeared in 42 games and averaged 10.7 points, 3.5 assists, and 3.0 rebounds per game while shooting 39.7% from the floor and 33.0% from three. Oladipo could hear his name in trade discussions, but his value isn't too high in both fantasy and the trade market.

Fri Apr 28 202323:42Victor Oladipo Has Successful Surgery
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) underwent successful surgery on Thursday. During the postseason series versus the Milwaukee Bucks, the veteran suffered a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, ending his season. There's talk he could be back in six months. However, nothing is set in stone at this point. Oladipo averaged 10.7 points in 42 regular games with Miami this season, so it's apparent he's nowhere near the player he was in 2017 when he logged 23.1 points per game with the Pacers. Unfortunately, injuries have plagued the 30-year-old over the years, so he likely won't see much interest from fantasy managers until he proves he can stay healthy and be a consistent producer.

Mon Apr 24 202317:32Victor Oladipo Could Return In Six Months
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury during Game 3 of their playoff series against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 30-year-old will miss the rest of the season with a torn left patellar tendon in his left knee. The organization is hopeful that Oladipo can resume basketball activities in six months. The two-time All-Star is set to undergo surgery next week. Possibly, Oladipo is ready to return by the beginning of next season. It will all depend on how well his recovery and rehab progress goes after having surgery.

Sun Apr 23 202319:55Victor Oladipo Done For The Rest Of The Season
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is done for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign. The multi-time All-Star suffered a torn left patellar tendon during the Game 3 postseason win over the Milwaukee Bucks and required assistance to the locker room. Oladipo had two surgeries on his right knee since 2019, so it's certainly a tough blow for the 30-year-old. It's also not an ideal situation for Miami, considering Tyler Herro (hand) is also out. Fortunately, Duncan Robinson, who had 20 points and shot 5-for-6 from deep on Saturday night, should continue to see more minutes moving ahead.

Sat Apr 22 202322:08Victor Oladipo Helped Off The Court In Game 3
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) exited Saturday's postseason meeting with the Bucks. The veteran went up for a basket late in the fourth quarter and landed awkwardly on the way down. He remained on the court holding his left knee before being helped to the locker room. The 30-year-old has battled his share of injuries, undergoing separate surgeries on his right quadriceps tendon since January 2019. Hopefully, the injury suffered on Saturday night isn't severe. However, with Tyler Herro (hand) out, Duncan Robinson could see even more minutes moving ahead if Oladipo misses significant time.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20 

LeBron James' Season Recap

Despite James' advanced NBA age, he's still productive. In 47 appearances, he's averaged 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. While his three-point percentage has regressed, that's never been his strong suit.James was also named an All-Star captain while recently passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1623184801284104192?s=20That said, despite some high-level accomplishments, the year has been a rough one for the 2003 No. 1 overall pick. He's battled left foot soreness for nearly the entire season, so much so that he routinely carried some type of injury designation heading into almost all of his games over the last few months....

Thu Feb 23 202315:50Victor Oladipo A Full Participant At Practice On Thursday
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo was able to participate fully in the team's practice on Thursday after having to miss the previous seven games due to an ankle issue. As of right now, it doesn't seem as though he'll appear on the injury report and he's trending in the correct direction to help the Heat gain some momentum before the playoffs. Oladipo has been inconsistent from a health standpoint and is still in the top 140 of fantasy players in nine-category formats. If he can stay health down the stretch, he could be a good end-of-bench option on any fantasy team.

Tue Feb 7 202307:15Kyrie Irving Traded To Dallas - Fantasy Basketball Impact
Without a doubt, Kyrie Irving is arguably one of the most naturally gifted players in the National Basketball Association. He's a fantastic ball-handler and can get to the rim with ease. However, the former Duke Blue Devil's career has been surrounded by controversy, ultimately impacting his ability to win an MVP.The NBA trade deadline kicked off with a bang when Irving, who had demanded a trade out of Brooklyn, was traded to the Dallas Mavericks.

Kyrie Irving's Season Recap

Irving got suspended for an antisemitic social media post, keeping him out of the lineup for eight games. But since then, the 30-year-old stayed out of the limelight, so most had assumed he finally turned things around. He's played well all season, averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 40 appearances.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1622324668047794177?s=20&t=NTffJ2tRvNpjAA7bddjYHQHe was also selected to the All-Star team for the eighth time in his career.

Fri Feb 3 202323:39Victor Oladipo Not Expected To Suit Up Versus Milwaukee
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is unlikely to suit up on Saturday in Milwaukee. The veteran is trending toward his second consecutive absence, which would be bad news for a team that won't have Kyle Lowry (ankle). With Gabe Vincent (ankle) questionable, Tyler Herro may be the primary ball-handler. At the same time, Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith should handle most of the work from the bench, giving both a higher fantasy ceiling for managers in deep formats.

Wed Feb 1 202318:32Victor Oladipo Downgraded To Doubtful Thursday
Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is now doubtful to play Thursday against the New York Knicks. Oladipo tweaked his ankle on Tuesday and will likely miss at least one game with the injury. The silver lining is Oladipo is not dealing with any knee injury given his injury history. With Oladipo likely sitting, Gabe Vincent and Max Strus should see increased roles with the second unit.

Marcus Smart Injury Update

The Celtics were without Jayson Tatum for Saturday's meeting with Toronto, as the MVP candidate got the day off to deal with wrist soreness.

LaMelo Ball Injury Update

LaMelo Ball exited Monday's meeting with the Rockets with a sprained left ankle. This is an all too familiar ailment, as the 21-year-old injured it twice already this season.

Donovan Mitchell Injury Update

Donovan Mitchell has been on a tear in his first season as a Cavalier, averaging a career-high 28.8 points per game. The 26-year-old has certainly made an impact, so there is naturally some concern surrounding his most recent injury, a groin strain, suffered during Monday's win over the Pelicans.https://twitter.com/ChrisFedor/status/1615106299636719632?s=20&t=nIB5An7gWfmmxjT49g7LLAMitchell exited in the third quarter and did not return to the contest, finishing with 11 points in 22 minutes.
