Thunder's Victor Oladipo: Could return Tuesday

Oladipo (back) went through a light practice Monday and could play Tuesday against the Trail Blazers, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Oladipo has missed the last six games while battling back spasms, but coach Billy Donovan said the guard "felt good" at practice Monday, giving the Thunder reason for optimism. Donovan said the team will wait until shootaround Tuesday to give Oladipo another evaluation, at which point his status for the matchup with the Trail Blazers will become more clear. In the event Oladipo is held out again, expect Alex Abrines to make another start at shooting guard.
