Orlando is hopeful Victor Oladipo can avoid the ‘sophomore slump’. With the preseason underway, Oladipo’s season is off to a rough start.
Oladipo injured his right knee during the teams scrimmage after landing awkwardly. There’s no true timetable on his return, but it could’ve been worse.
“This could have been way worse, so I’m lucky,” Oladipo said Monday. “I’m just going to heal up and prepare mentally so that when I come back I won’t be a step behind. Hopefully, it will be a step forward.
“It is what it is, I’m taking it one day at a time and based on the treatment we’ll see when I’ll be able to come back.”
Newly acquired Channing Frye suffered the same injury as well.
