The latest to try to do so is former Indiana Pacers legend Victor Oladipo, who has, unfortunately, really dealt with his fair share of injuries. However, I think it’s important that we remember the 34-year-old Maryland native is still young enough to return to the court at any moment. If Oladipo is healthy, I don’t think it’s out of the question that he could return to the NBA. According to the latest report, there are even some teams interested in signing him, as they were all at his recent workout.“Former Pacers All-Star Victor Oladipo is 34 and had his career sidetracked by knee injuries. But he is making a comeback attempt after three seasons away from the NBA. Oladipo held a workout that was attended by multiple teams, and is expected be given a training-camp offer to see if he can make a roster,” Sean Deveney wrote.In the last season Oladipo played, he was a member of the Miami Heat and appeared in 42 games. He played 26.3 minutes per game that season, averaging 10.7 points per game. He shot 39.7% from the field, which wasn’t ideal, but he was still a nice little player who could be used on a veteran minimum for some teams around the league. At this point, that’s likely what Oladipo is hoping for.More NBA news:Warriors backup LeBron James plan would be worst outcome for Golden StateWarriors get new timeline on Anthony Davis trade, and it favors everyone involvedKevin Durant trade to Pistons shut down as offseason rumors continueLakers reportedly have strong feelings about Bronny JamesHeat reportedly not happy with trade offers coming in for young contributor
