Veterans minimum for 1 year.
It’s about as good a risk/reward signing as Miami could make. https://t.co/WapWeTw1UA

Last season for Oladipo was a tough one. He first got traded to the Houston Rockets as a part of the James Harden blockbuster trade and during the trade deadline, he was sent to the Heat. Now in Miami, he started to ease himself with the team and the rotation.
Sadly on Thursday night game against the Lakers, he went for a dunk and grabbed his knee when he landed. Erik Spoelstra subbed him out right after and that was it for Oladipo for the rest of the season.
Signing a veteran minimum for one year, Oladipo hopes to regain his level of play in this upcoming season so he can get a bigger deal in the 2022 free agency in which he would be fully healthy.
