Victor Oladipo Signs with Bucks’ G League Team, Wisconsin Herd

BREAKING: Two-time NBA All-Star Victor Oladipo has just joined the Wisconsin Herd, the Milwaukee Bucks G League affiliate, in a move announced today. This significant acquisition comes as Oladipo aims to revitalize his career after a serious injury sidelined him since the 2022-23 NBA season.

The Herd confirmed the news earlier today, revealing that they acquired Oladipo from the Santa Cruz Warriors, who claimed him during the G League player pool process. Following his recovery from a torn left patellar tendon sustained while playing for the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2023 playoffs against the Bucks, the 33-year-old Oladipo is eager to make a comeback.

In a strategic move, the Santa Cruz Warriors traded Oladipo’s rights to Wisconsin for a 2027 first-round pick in the G League draft. This trade highlights the Warriors’ confidence in Oladipo’s potential, even after a challenging recovery period.

Despite not having played in the NBA since his injury, Oladipo showcased his skills in recent preseason games with the Guangzhou Loong-Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association. His performance in these games has fueled optimism among fans and analysts about his readiness to return to competitive basketball.

Throughout his 10-year NBA career, Oladipo has averaged 16.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, with an impressive shooting percentage of 44%. He received All-Star honors in consecutive years, 2018 and 2019, and now looks to reclaim that elite status with the Herd.

As the Herd prepares for the upcoming G League season, all eyes will be on Oladipo. Fans are eager to see how he adapts to this new chapter in his career and whether he can regain his All-Star form. The G League is often a proving ground for players returning from injuries, and Oladipo’s journey will be closely monitored by basketball enthusiasts worldwide.
