Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo says his recovery from a ruptured quad tendon in his knee is going well.
Oladipo, who suffered the injury last season against the Toronto Raptors, still doesn't know when he's going to play this season.

I just have to keep taking it one day at a time and everything else will take care of itself. There’s no definite timetable right now; it’s still up in the air… My rehab has been pretty self-explanatory. I’ve been doing things to help my quad get stronger and build stamina, so I can play at the highest level.”
Oladipo averaged 18.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists for the Pacers last season before he got hurt. The All-Star shot 42.3 percent from the field, 34.3 percent from beyond the arc and 73.0 percent from the free-throw line.
The Pacers and Oladipo will continue to be cautious moving forward since Oladipo is the franchise player in Indiana.
Whenever Oladipo comes back, the Pacers will be even more lethal on both sides of the ball. Indiana fans can't wait to see Oladipo and Malcolm Brogdon play together in the backcourt.
