It took over one calendar year, but Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo is back in the scoring column. The last time that Oladipo was on the court for the Pacers came Jan. 23, 2019, when he sustained a ruptured quad.
But as of Wednesday, he was back in action, and with this first-quarter bucket, he logged his first two points of the 2019-20 campaign:

Despite playing in only 36 games, Oladipo led Indiana in scoring last season at 18.8 points per game. He was named an All-Star for the second consecutive season after landing on the scene with the Pacers following a trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
There's a lot more to come from Oladipo this season, who has championship aspirations with Indiana. For the Pacers to eventually be the last team standing in June, they'll need a whole lot more buckets from Oladipo.
