Pacers star Victor Oladipo will not take part in the NBA's resumption starting July 30, he told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Oladipo played just 13 games for the Pacers in 2019-20 after missing much of the season rehabbing a ruptured quadriceps tendon.
“I really want to play, and as a competitor and teammate this is tearing me apart,” Oladipo told The Athletic. “I feel like I’m at a great place in my rehab and getting closer and closer to 100 percent. With all the variables, from how I have to build my 5-on-5 workload back up, to the increased risk of a soft tissue injury which could delay my rehab, and the unknown exact set up of the bubble, I just can’t get my mind to being fully comfortable in playing.
