It’s been over 3 years since Victor Oladipo had his catastrophic quad injury. At the time, the Pacers were the 3rd seed in the East and Oladipo, who was coming off an All NBA selection, had just been voted to his 2nd All Star Game appearance. Since then, Oladipo has only appeared in 52 games

On Jan 23 2019, Oladipo had a terrible quad injury where he tore his quadriceps tendon completely off the top of the kneecap.

At the time, the Pacers were 32-15 and the 3rd seed in the East.

Oladipo was coming off a 2018 season where he averaged 23/5/4, led the NBA in steals, and won Most Improved Player, made All Defense 1st Team, All NBA 3rd Team, and the All Star game.

I think Oladipo gets forgotten a lot since its been years since he was healthy. He was only 26 years old and was coming off a highly accomplished season and looked like one of the best guards in the league. It’s sad to see how his career ended up. He's only played in 52/236 games since then (22%) and when he does he looked like a shell of his former self. He has yet to play this season.
