The Miami Heat have received terrible news regarding Victor Oladipo.
The veteran guard was expected to help his team compete in the 2023 NBA Playoffs, but once again injuries started bothering him.
Unlike Jimmy Butler, who only suffered a bruised glute, Oladipo is seeing his season coming to an abrupt end.
Shams Charania reports that Oladipo suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon in his left knee, finishing his campaign.

Season-ending is putting it lightly. Hope for a speedy recovery but that’s a long one

It’s very sad to see Oladipo getting hurt again, especially in a season where he vowed to return to his All-Star level.
That will need to wait after picking up yet another season-ending injury.
Back in 2019, he suffered his first major injury, rupturing the quad tendon in his right knee.
Ever since that moment, he’s dealt with several injuries that prevented him from fulfilling his potential.
Even though he wasn’t a starter, this is a big loss for the Heat.
At the time of being helped off the court, Oladipo had recorded eight points in 19 minutes of action off the bench.
Now, the Heat will face the rest of the series without a crucial piece of their second unit.
We hope Oladipo has a speedy recovery and these injuries stop messing up his career.
