Victor Oladipo had a great performance during a preseason matchup between the Guangzhou Loong-Lions and San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.
Oladipo's last presence on a roster was with the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2023-24 campaign. He didn't play that season as he was recovering from a severe injury, seeing Memphis waive him in February.
The veteran guard went overseas as he signed with the Loong-Lions, knowing he can continue playing at a solid level with his talent. Against the Spurs, he didn't disappoint.
In 29 minutes of action, Oladipo finished with a stat line of 20 points, five rebounds, five steals, three assists, and a block. He shot 8-of-19 from the field, including 1-of-8 from beyond the arc, and 3-of-3 from the free-throw line.
