Victor Oladipo has started in yesterday’s opening scrimmage for the Indiana Pacers, but a final decision hasn’t been officially made for his participation in the regular season and beyond. “I think today was big, just getting our conditioning up and getting a feel for the game again,” he said. “Obviously it’s been a minute since all of us have played in a live game. It was just fun to be out there.”
Before the game, Pacers coach Nate McMillan said Oladipo playing in Thursday’s opener wasn’t an indicator for the future. “We haven’t talked about the start of the season,” McMillan said. “We’ve basically been focused for this first preseason game, and he’s available for tonight.”
Oladipo played 19 minutes in Indiana’s 91-88 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, scoring eight points on 3-of-10 shooting. “My body and mind just have to get used to the flow of the game again,” he said. “That’ll come. But overall I felt pretty decent.”
